A combination of at least one select dicarboxylic acid having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, in combination with at least one amino acid, selected from arginine, lysine, histidine or at least one of the salts of these amino acids, are included in a blonding powder to reduce the damage caused to keratin fibers by an oxidative bleaching treatment.

The present invention is drawn to personal care products containing combinations of plant-based glyceride butters and plant-based glyceride oils, and their use in retaining moisture and natural flora in the skin, such as the hands and vaginal lips.

Provided is a composition comprising, in an aqueous phase at least one anionic surfactant, at least one amphoteric and/or zwitterionic surfactant, at least one alkyl(poly)glycoside nonionic surfactant, at least on polymer chosen from cationic polymers of cationic cellulose, cationic alkyldiallylamine or dialkyldiallylammonium cyclopolymer, amphoteric polymers which comprising one or more units derived from a monomer of (meth)acrylate or (meth)acrylamide type, a monomer of (meth)acrylamidoalkyltrialkylammonium type, or a monomer of (meth)acrylic type, or a mixture thereof, and at least on fatty acid ester of glycerol and/or of polyglycerol.

A cosmetic composition for makeup removal is in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion. The composition includes a lipophilic phase having a content by weight between 35% and 60% with respect to the total weight of the composition. The composition has a non-ionic hydrophilic surfactant assembly with at least one alkylpolyglucoside. The composition further includes at least one gelling agent having a content by weight between 0.3% and 0.8% with respect to the total weight of the composition. The gelling agent is at least one clay and/or at least one polysaccharide gum.

Disclosed are clear, aqueous perfume compositions which are free of ethanol. There is further provided a perfume composition which is clear, provides a good skin feeling, and good air drying properties on the skin.

A moldable gel cleanser comprising a carrageenan, a source of potassium and a glycol is disclosed.

A subject-matter of the invention is a process for dyeing keratinous substances, in particular keratinous fibres, comprising the application, to the said keratinous fibres: of at least one composition A comprising at least one non-ionic alkylpolyglucoside surfactant, at least one metal salt and at least one thickening polymer and of at least one composition B comprising one or more ortho-diphenol derivative(s).

The present invention provides a composition containing component (A): a compound represented by the formula (1)

##STR00001##

wherein each symbol is as described in the DESCRIPTION, or a salt thereof, and component (B): at least one kind of surfactant selected from the group consisting of an anionic surfactant having a carboxyl group, an amphoteric surfactant and a nonionic surfactant, which is superior in foamability and foam volume and affording improved rinsing performance and smooth feeling after drying.

Disclosed are low wax mascara compositons comprising a liquid fatty substance, an emulsifying system including a sucrose fatty acid ester and a co-emulsifier, a viscosity increasing agent, a film forming system including a film forming polymer and a co-film former, and water. Also disclosed are methods for making up and/or enhancing the appearance of eyelashes by applying said compositions to the lashes.

The present disclosure provides personal care compositions comprising a surfactant system that includes an anionic surfactant, a zwitterionic or amphoteric surfactant and optionally a non-ionic surfactant; a preservative system; a pH modifier; optionally a moisturizer or a skin conditioner or both a moisturizer and a skin conditioner; and a viscosity adjusting system, wherein the viscosity adjusting system comprises glyceryl oleate and at least one additional viscosity adjusting agent. Use of the viscosity adjusting system can achieve viscosity levels that would otherwise not be possible by either agent alone, and allows for higher maximum viscosity levels while at the same time providing an emolliency to the formulation.
