The present invention relates to a hair cosmetic composition, especially for washing and/or conditioning hair, comprising surfactants and an oil-in-water emulsion that comprises: a silicone mixture comprising a trialkylsilyl terminated dialkylpolysiloxane and an amino silicone; a mixture of emulsifiers comprising one or more nonionic emulsifier, wherein the mixture of emulsifiers has a HLB value from 10 to 16; and water.

The invention also relates to a process for the cosmetic treatment of hair, preferably for washing and/or conditioning hair, using this composition.

The present invention relates to a composition for surface modification. The composition for surface modification according to the present invention contains a particular carbodiimide-based compound, thus forms a covalent bond without damaging skin, hair, or fabric, and semipermanently provides desired skin or hair surface modification effects or fabric care effects.

A kit includes a multi-phase oral composition for whitening teeth and an electromagnetic radiation source. The multi-phase oral composition for whitening teeth includes from about 0.002% to about 30%, by weight of the multi-phase oral composition, of a discontinuous aqueous phase having a bleaching agent, where a concentration of the bleaching agent is up to 10%, by weight of the multi-phase oral composition, and at least about 50%, by weight of the multi-phase oral composition, of a continuous hydrophobic phase of petrolatum. The electromagnetic radiation source is capable of directing electromagnetic radiation with one or more wavelength in the range from about 200 nm to about 1700 nm toward at least one tooth. The electromagnetic radiation source emits electromagnetic radiation in a range from about 100 mW/cm.sup.2 to about 250 mW/cm.sup.2.

The present invention relates to the field of skin decontamination from harmful substances. In particular, the invention provides composition for decontamination of skin from hazardous agents, such as nanoparticles, microplastic particles and viruses, wherein said composition comprises ⋅1 to 40% by weight of at least one water-soluble polymer, ⋅1 to 40% by weight of at least one phyllosilicate, ⋅1 to 30% by weight charcoal and/or graphite, and ⋅Water; and wherein said composition for decontamination of skin does not comprise penetration enhancers. In further embodiment, the invention provides a “ready to use” kit comprising said composition, which enables more than 99% decontamination of affected skin areas within the very important first minutes. The kit allows the use with one hand, thus significantly reducing the risk of secondary contamination of other skin areas. In further embodiment, the invention also relates to a process for skin decontamination from hazardous agents, such as nanoparticles, microplastic particles and viruses comprising the composition and/or kit of the invention.
