Disclosed are oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions comprising (a) an aqueous dispersion of particles of at least one latex chosen from an acrylate latex, a polyurethane latex, or a silicone latex, and (b) an oil phase, wherein the aqueous dispersion of particles of at least one latex is present in the O/W emulsion in an amount sufficient to stabilize the O/W emulsion. The disclosure also relates to hair styling and/or shaping compositions comprising the O/W emulsions, methods of making the compositions, and methods of styling and/or shaping the hair.

The present disclosure relates to fragrance materials encapsulated within polymeric materials in the form of microcapsules of polymer encapsulated fragrance. The microcapsules are mixed with a water-based binding agent so that a coating forms on the microcapsule in situ, after which the coated microcapsules may be applied to hard surfaces of a product, from which controlled release of the fragrance is provided over time as the product is subjected to normal handling by a user.

Cationically-charged particulates and compositions containing the cationically-charged particulates for application to keratinous materials are provided. Methods of preparing the cationically-charged particulates are also disclosed. Methods of increasing the cationic charge on particulates are also provided.

The invention relates to a cosmetic process for treating keratin materials, comprising: either the sequential application to the keratin materials of a composition comprising a maleic anhydride ethylenic polymer and of an amine compound chosen from polyamine compounds bearing several primary amine and/or secondary amine groups and amino alkoxysilanes, or the topical application to the keratin materials of a composition derived from the mixing of a composition comprising a maleic anhydride acrylic polymer and of an amine compound chosen from amino alkoxysilanes; the ethylenic polymer being derived from the polymerization of: (a) 45% to 95% by weight, relative to the total weight of monomers, of an ethylenic monomer bearing an at least C8 linear or branched alkyl group; (b) 5% to 25% by weight of maleic anhydride; (c) 0 to 50% by weight of additional monomer; the compositions used being anhydrous when the amine compound is an amino alkoxysilane. The process makes it possible to obtain a film-forming deposit that has good resistance to water, to oil and to sebum. The film is also non-tacky and transfer-resistant.

An improved hair and scalp treatment composition comprising a hair care product wherein the improvement comprises reducing the comedogenicity thereof by excluding therefrom comedogenic elements having a Fulton scale grade greater than 2.

The invention relates to a cosmetic process for caring for or making up keratin materials, comprising the sequential application to the keratin materials: of a cosmetic composition comprising a maleic anhydride acrylic polymer obtained by polymerization of: (a) 50% to 90% by weight, relative to the total weight of monomers, of isobornyl (meth)acrylate (b) 1% to 50% by weight of maleic anhydride (c) 0% to 49% by weight of additional (meth)acrylate monomer; and of a polyamine compound bearing several primary amine and/or secondary amine groups. The process makes it possible to obtain a film-forming deposit that has good resistance to water, to oil and to sebum. The film is also non-tacky and transfer-resistant.

The present disclosure relates to stable cosmetic compositions containing high amounts of acetyl trifluoromethylphenyl valylglycine. The cosmetic compositions further include high amounts of hydroxypropyl tetrahydropyrantriol, taurate copolymers, fatty alcohols, fatty compounds (other than the fatty alcohols), nonionic emulsifiers, and water. Methods for stabilizing cosmetic compositions containing high amounts of acetyl trifluoromethylphenyl valylglycine and methods for treating the skin with the cosmetic compositions is also described.

The disclosure relates to a process for treating keratin fibers comprising, in a first stage, the application to said fibers of an oily dispersion (A) comprising i) particles of copolymers of alkyl acrylates and anhydride acrylics, ii) stabilizers, and iii) one or more hydrocarbon-based oils, and then, in a second stage, the application to said fibers of a composition (B) comprising iv) one or more amine compounds; or the application to said fibers of an oily dispersion (D) comprising said ingredients i), ii), iii) and iv), wherein v) one or more dye(s) and/or pigment(s) may be in the dispersion (A) or (D), in a composition (B), and/or in another composition (C). The disclosure further relates to a multi-compartment kit comprising the ingredients i) to v), and an oily dispersion (A) comprising v) the one or more dyes and/or pigments.

The present application relates to perfume delivery systems and consumer products comprising perfume delivery systems and or perfume raw materials, as well as processes for making and using such perfume delivery systems and consumer products.

A composition for treating a keratin material, comprising at least one amino acid surfactant, at least one amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactant, at least one solid fatty acid, at least one starch phosphates, and at least one acrylic thickening polymer. The composition has an improved rinsing speed after application, and is stable over 2 months, with an improved foaming properties, such as density of foam, and foaming volume.
