The present invention relates to a process for treating keratin fibers, comprising the application to the keratin fibers of a composition (C) comprising at least one (poly)carbodiimide compound, at least one aqueous dispersion of particles of polymer(s) chosen from polyurethanes, acrylic polymers, and mixtures thereof, optionally at least one silicone, and at least one coloring agent chosen from pigments, direct dyes, and mixtures thereof.

A cosmetic ingredient for cosmetic products has a polymer structure which includes an emollient or film-forming cosmetic polymer which is transparent to light. An organic chromophore molecule is inserted and chemically linked into the polymer, which can be a fixed color molecule or a photochromic molecule capable of rapidly switching from one color to another. The colored or photochromic molecule is inserted and chemically linked by transesterification into a cosmetic oil provided with functionalities which are suitable for the chemical anchoring of the molecule and chemically linked to said oil. The cosmetic oil may be a silicone macrodiol functionalized with a photochromic derivative designed so as to ensure the transition between a colorless state and a colored state following irradiation with ultraviolet light.
