Formulation for colouring hair having at least one coloured polymer.

The present invention relates to a process for dyeing keratin fibers, in particular human keratin fibers such as the hair, using a) one or more blue, violet or green dyes and b) one or more disulfide, thiol or protected-thiol fluorescent dyes.

The present invention also relates to a cosmetic composition comprising the dyes defined above, and also to a multi-compartment device containing said dyes.

The present invention also relates to the use of said dyes for dyeing light keratin fibers, notably human keratin fibers such as the hair, in chestnut-brown, dark chestnut-brown, brown, brown with a tint, or even black, without using an additional dye other than those defined above.

To obtain an inorganic blue fluorescent material that is composed of elements for which there are no suspected harmful effects on humans, and that has excellent texture when applied to skin.

A fluorescent material for a cosmetic being a composite oxide containing from 0.0005 to 0.05 (in terms of a mole ratio relative to 1 mol of phosphorous in a molecule) of Ce in a compound represented by general formula Ca.sub.aP.sub.bO.sub.c (3.2a5.0, b=2, c=a+5) and having an average particle diameter of from 1 to 10 m.

The present invention relates to a process for dyeing and/or lightening keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair, using b) one or more disulfide, thiol or protected-thiol fluorescent direct dyes and a) one or more direct dyes different from b).

The present invention also relates to a cosmetic composition comprising the dyes defined above, and also to a multi-compartment device containing said dyes.

The present invention also relates to the use of the dyes a) and b) for dyeing light or dark keratin fibres, without using an additional dye different from those defined above, for giving the fibres very chromatic, particularly visible colours.

The present application relates processes that can be used to produce encapsulated benefit agents comprising a core and a shell that encapsulates said core, encapsulated benefit agents produced by such process and products comprising such encapsulated benefit agents as well as methods of making and using such products. Such process can be used to produce particles that offer the desired protection and release benefits when used in a varity of products.

A fluid container and dispenser have an associated source of power to energize a light source coupled in optical communication with portion of the container to energize the luminescent fluid contents before they are dispensed.

In an exemplary embodiment there is presented a formulation that is topically applied to the outer jawline and neck skin to improve the appearance of the skin by repairing or concealing age-related skin effects, such as wrinkles, improving skin tone by reducing stretching and sagging of the skin, adding moisture to reduce skin dryness, and adding an appearance of brightness. An exemplary embodiment of the formulation includes a blend of oligosaccharides, medium chain triglycerides, peptides, silanol, and diglucosyl gallic acid, all provided in a viscous liquid emulsion base for ease of dispensing from a pump dispenser.

A method of stabilizing riboflavin by affixing the riboflavin to at least one substrate for the riboflavin by covalent bonding, hydrogen bonding, Van der Waals forces, or a combination thereof, to form an optically-activated complex, is provided. When activated by absorption of light in the ultraviolet (UV) to visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum the riboflavin in the complex re-emits light of longer wavelength in the blue-green-yellow region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

A light emitting composition including first color emitters and second color emitters. The first color emitters are configured to emit, upon exposure to an energy source, visible light at a target color in response to absorption of energy across a first band of wavelengths. The second color emitters are configured to emit, upon exposure to the energy source, visible light at the target color in response to absorption of energy across a second band of wavelengths. The light intensity observable at the target color is enhanced relative to reflected white light without emission from the first and second color emitters. The light emitting composition can be a part of a paint, an ink, a fabric, a thread, a road sign, a highway marking, an automobile, a boat, a plane, a reflector, a building product, a concrete product, an epoxy product, a jewelry product, colored contact lens, a candle product, a rubber product, a plastic product, or other colored surface.
