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.

Cationic and silicon substituents are introduced into polysaccharides thereby producing modified polysaccharides cationically substituted by quaternary ammonium groups and having a charge density of about 0.1 to about 2.5 meq/g, and further substituted by siliconate groups such that the modified polysaccharide has a silicon content of about 300 to about 5000 ppm. The modified polysaccharides have application in industrial, home care and personal care surface modifying formulations.

A redispersible three-layer cosmetic comprising an aqueous phase, an oil phase a polysaccharide gel particles having a mean particle size of 0.1 to 1000 μm.

A personal care 100% plant derived, biodegradable solid granules that sustain beneficial essential oils, and or plant/herbal extracts and emulsify in water to create an emulsified therapeutic solution is disclosed. This invention improves over existing liquids in that its solid granule form is completely plant derived and biodegradable and can sustain essential oils and antioxidants without the requirement of chemical preservatives, and can be packaged in eco-friendly water soluble film and compostable paper. It improves over existing solid forms in that it is a 100% water soluble granule that emulsifies easily in water to form an easy to use liquid product.

A thickened aqueous composition containing from about 0.01% to about 10%, by weight, of an superabsorbent polymer, from about 0.1% to about 20%, of a silicone elastomer; and from about 20% to about 98% of water.

A method for colouring hair. The method comprises the formation of a first plurality of coated hair fibre portions by applying a first composition to a first plurality of hair fibre portions and subsequently styling the hair. The first plurality of coated hair fibre portions is contacted with a second plurality of coated hair fibre portions but does not comprise the application of a solid barrier means in order to separate the first plurality of coated hair fibre portions from the second plurality of coated hair fibre portions. The composition comprises from about 0.2% to about 20% of viscosity-increasing agent and the viscosity-increasing agent is selected from the group consisting of: clays; polysaccharides; silicas; block copolymers of polypropylene oxide (PPO) and polyethylene oxide (PEO); and mixtures thereof. Also provided are a hair colouring composition being in ready to use form, the use of the composition, a developing formulation, and a process for creating a hair colouring composition.

The invention relates to hair bleaching compositions comprising persulfate ions, alkalizing agents, high-molecular-weight polyethylene glycol (PEG), rheological agents and silicates.

Disclosed are compositions including dihydroxyalkyl substituted polygalactomannan, and the optional further substitution of such with cationic and/or hydrophobic moieties. Method of making such compositions is also disclosed as well as the use of such compositions in industrial applications, fabric laundering, and personal and household care.

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).

A transparent cosmetic composition and related methods are provided. The composition includes, in relation to the total weight thereof, 0.1 to 30 wt. % of a mixture of at least two conditioning polymers, 0.01 to 25 wt. % of a polyether-modified polysiloxane, 0.001 to 15 wt. % of a film-forming polymer, and 1 to 90 wt. % water.
