The instant disclosure relates to hair-treatment compositions. The hair-treatment compositions typically include: one or more polyurethane latex polymers; one or more thickening agents; one or more water-soluble solvents; and water. Additional components such as silicones, emulsifiers, surfactants, cationic polymers, etc., can also be included. The instant disclosure also relates to kits that include the hair-treatment compositions and to methods for treating hair with the hair-treatment compositions.

This invention relates to oral care compositions comprising arginine, zinc citrate and zinc oxide, and an orally acceptable carrier, as well as to methods of using and of making these compositions.

An oral care composition comprising a local anaesthetic agent, a film-forming polymer and a non-aqueous vehicle wherein the film-forming polymer comprises an alkyl vinyl ether-maleic acid or anhydride copolymer or salt thereof is provided.

The disclosure deals with a lubricative skin engaging member with progressive release of lubricating polymer from a water-insoluble matrix containing thermoplastic elastomer compound and maleic anhydride copolymer and lubricating polymer in concentration less than 30%. The disclosure lies in the use of the maleic anhydride in grafted form on polyethylene and the incorporation of water-soluble lubricating polymer in concentration less than 30% in the thermoplastic elastomer compound, leading to a lubricative mixture, and to a skin engaging member, with increased homogeneity and water absorption ability that assist in the lubricating polymer release in a progressive and controllable manner.

An oral care composition comprising zinc phosphate, stannous fluoride, an anionic polymer, and a basic amino acid, as well as methods of using the same.

Copolymers derived from hydrophobic monomers of formula (1), and hydrophilic monomers of formulas (2) and (3), are provided ##STR00001##
The copolymers are useful as gelling agents for oils used in cosmetics and cosmetic emulsions.

This invention relates to oral care compositions comprising arginine, zinc citrate and zinc oxide, and an orally acceptable carrier, as well as to methods of using and of making these compositions.

Compositions comprising sun-care actives and self adapting polymers are disclosed. Self adapting polymers align themselves with the hydrophilic group pointing to the surface during application thus delivering an aesthetically pleasing surface to the consumers with a pleasant after feel. These polymers then rearrange upon contact with water so that the hydrophobic groups now point to the surface which then increases the water resistance of the formulation.

Disclosed herein are sprayable compositions comprising: a complex of (A) at least one charged (or pseudo-charged) polymer having a molecular weight of about 125,000 amu or more; and (B) a least one oppositely charged, rheology modifying, crosslinked polymer having at least one carboxylic functional group. The composition may provide a spray with a median particle size of less than about 175 m. Also disclosed are methods for preparing the compositions as well as creating the spray. The invention enables the spray of the high molecular weight charged (or pseudo-charged) polymer in any number of uses including personal care and performance chemicals application.

A non-aqueous composition and method for reducing the drying time of wet hair includes applying added water to human hair to obtain wet hair and applying a nonaqueous serum comprising a combination of about 55 to about 65 percent by weight of at least one volatile silicone compound, about 30 to about 40 percent by weight of at least one high molecular weight silicone elastomer, a thermoprotective agent, an emollient, and a conditioning agent; applying the nonaqueous serum and heat to the wet hair in order to remove from about 80% to about 100% of the added water. In one embodiment, the application of the serum is capable of reducing a drying time of the wet hair by at least 25 percent.
