Disclosed is a composition comprising, in an aqueous phase: a) at least one ether of formula (I): R—O—R′ in which R and R′, which may be identical or different, denotes a linear or branched C.sub.6-C.sub.25 alkyl or alkenyl radical, R and R′ being chosen such that the ether is liquid at a temperature of less than or equal to 30° C.; b) at least one surfactant chosen from anionic surfactant, amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactant, or a mixture thereof; c) at least one cationic alkyldiallylamine or dialkyldiallylammonium cyclopolymer; and d) soybean oil.

Described herein is a new process for the preparation of powdered microcapsules encapsulating active volatile active ingredients, in particular a perfume or a flavour, the process being performed at room temperature. Powdered microcapsules obtainable by the process are also described. Perfuming and flavouring compositions as well as consumer products including the capsules are also described.

A personal care composition exhibiting excellent cleaning qualities without the use, or inclusion, of a sulfated surfactant; while also delivering an anti-dandruff benefit. The personal care composition contains 7% to 12% sodium cocoyl alaninate; 3% to about 10% glyceryl ester; an antidandruff agent; a liquid carrier; and wherein the personal care composition is substantially free of sulfated surfactants. The sodium cocoyl alaninate to glyceryl ester ratio can be 2:1. The viscosity of the personal care composition can be 3 mPa-s to 12 Pa-s.

The object of the present disclosure is an agent for the oxidative coloring of keratinous fibers, in particular human hair, comprising

(a) at least one perborate,
(b) at least one oxidation dye precursor,
(c) at least one microbial gum,
(d) at least one anionic cellulose, and
(e) less than 10% by weight of water, the percentage by weight being expressed in relation to the total weight of the product.

Another object is a process for the oxidative coloring of hair, in which a corresponding agent is used.

The present invention describes a novel natural hair colour composition containing (a) a mixture of basic salt which aid in opening the hair cuticle and facilitating better penetration of dye which is natural plant-based extract; (b) a metal salt based mordanting agent which form a dye-metal complex. The invention further describes 2 step method of application which give better penetration and hence improved colour delivery and wash off resistance.

Provided are a hydrogel patch, which controls syneresis of a hydrogel so as to enhance transdermal delivery of an active ingredient and has good physical properties, and a preparation method therefor. The hydrogel patch contains: a hydrogel composed of a mixture of phase A consisting of a crosslinking agent and purified water, phase B consisting of an organic polymer and a polyhydric alcohol, and phase C consisting of a pH adjusting agent and purified water; and a filling solution composed of a mixture of phase D consisting of a humectant and purified water, phase E consisting of a thickener and a polyhydric alcohol, and phase F consisting of a pH adjusting agent and purified water. The hydrogel of composition A is filled with the filling solution of composition C, and the hydrogel of composition B is filled with the filling solution of composition D.

Provided is a composition containing the following components (A), (B) and (C) and suppressing formation of scum during cleansing, wherein a weight ratio of (A)/(B) is 0.2-5 and a weight ratio of ((A)+(B))/(C) is 0.01-10: (A) N-lauroyl glycine or a salt thereof (B) N-myristoyl glycine or a salt thereof (C) N-acyl acidic amino acid having an acyl group having 8 to 24 carbon atoms, or a salt thereof.

A system, computer readable medium and method for selective brightening of hair, the method may include or may be preceded by applying at least one photosensitive material to the hair. The method may also include forming at least one pattern of brightened hair by illuminating the hair by at least one pattern of illumination.

The present disclosure provides methods and compositions for treating skin around an eye area of a face. The method entails applying a composition that includes a unique combination of rheology-modifying agents that efficiently maintains active agents in suspension. The composition exhibits pleasing skin feel, softens skin, and attracts and retains moisture while maintaining these desirable properties over time.

Personal care compositions containing little or no surfactant and a cationic polymer.
