The invention relates to hair colouring compositions in gel or emulsion-gel form containing no ethoxylated additives, ethanolamine or polyethylene glycols.

A cosmetic composition containing sucrose esters, lauroyl lysine, and water. The composition meets at least one of the following conditions: (i) the weight ratio between the sucrose esters and lauroyl lysine is from about 5:1 to about 1:10; (ii) the lauroyl lysine has a mean particle size of from about 10 microns to about 40 microns; and (iii) the lauroyl lysine has a flat polygonal shape. The cosmetic composition can provide benefits from sucrose esters with reduced heavy coated feel, reduced sticky/tacky feel, and/or reduced friction/draggy feel.

Compositions comprising one or more natural high intensity sweeteners and/or derivatives thereof are disclosed. The one or more high intensity sweeteners and/or derivatives regulate the coolness taste or flavor of the composition.

A non-irritating topical composition for moisturizing and cleansing the skin includes: a mixture of moisturizers and conditioning agents; a mixture of surfactants; a mixture of anti-irritant agents; and a mixture of hydrating and rejuvenation agents, in an aqueous vehicle. At least one ingredient in each of the ingredient groups consisting of moisturizers and conditioning agents, surfactants, anti-irritant agents, and hydrating and rejuvenation agents is plant-derived. The composition is essentially free from any synthetic additives or by-products. The composition has a pH in the range of 5.0-8.0.

Provided herein is an oral care composition comprising an antioxidant and a surfactant system, wherein the surfactant system comprises sodium methyl cocoyl taurate in an amount of from 0.7 weight % to 1.2 weight % by total weight of the composition and optionally, a poloxamer in an amount of from 0.4 to 1.2 weight % by total weight of the composition. The composition is useful for preventing or treating periodontal disease.

The invention relates to the cosmetic use of at least one compounds according to the following formula (I), as an anti-dandruff agent or for preventing and/or treating scalp dandruff: where “sugar” denotes a monosaccharide residue chosen from rhamnose, xylose, fucose, mannose, lyxose, and arabinose; where R, substituting the anomeric oxygen in the sugar (represented by “O” in formula (I)), denotes a radical comprising 6 to 38 carbon atoms chosen from: —a linear or branched, saturated alkyl radical; —a linear or branched, alkenyl radical; said linear or branched saturated alkyl radical being optionally substituted by at least one OH and/or NH2 function; —if “sugar” denotes a mannose residue, R denotes a linear C6-C38 alkyl radical, substituted by at least one OH function or an NH2 function; and the salts and solvates and/or optical isomers thereof, alone or in a mixture, particularly racemic forms. The invention also relates to compounds according to formula (I), and cosmetic compositions containing same. ##STR00001##

Skin care formulations that function via a multi-modal approach are provided in some embodiments in which select ingredients work together to protect skin from ultraviolet light, hydrates the skin and provides antioxidant properties.

Provided are a reelin and/or VEGF-C production and/or activation promoter including a compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 or a salt thereof as an active ingredient, and a skin external composition including the same.

(In Chemical Formula 1, each substituent is as defined in the specification.)

Personal care compositions and, particularly, personal care compositions for alleviating dandruff are disclosed herein. The personal care compositions may include from about 0.1 to about 5 wt. % of an anti-dandruff agent comprising dipotassium glycyrrhizate; from about 6 to about 30 wt. % of a surfactant system; from about 0.1 to about 5 wt. % of a cationic polymer, wherein the personal care composition has a pH of about 2.5 to about 5 and all weight percentages are based on the total weight of the personal care composition. The surfactant system typically comprises from about 5 to about 20 wt. % of an anionic surfactant, from about 0.5 to about 7 wt. % of an amphoteric surfactant, and optionally, from about 0.5 to about 7 wt. % of a non-ionic surfactant.

The present disclosure relates to bleomycin for use in the treatment and/or prevention of hair loss and to a composition comprising bleomycin for use in the treatment and/or prevention of hair loss. A non-therapeutic method for promoting hair generation and/or hair growth is also disclosed, the method comprising administering or applying bleomycin or a composition comprising bleomycin to an area on the subject where the promotion of hair generation and/or hair growth is desired. Further disclosed is a non-therapeutic method for darkening hair, the method comprising administering or applying bleomycin or a composition comprising bleomycin to an area on the subject where darkening of hair is desired.
