A stable shampoo composition containing a surfactant system that is substantially free of sulphated surfactants, a cationic polymer, and a sclerotium gum thickener. The shampoo can have a viscosity greater than 2500 cP and a pH greater than 5.5.

An agent for dyeing keratinous material is provided. The agent includes at least one amino-functionalized silicone polymer and at least one color-imparting compound. Further, the agent includes at least one preservative and at least one non-ionic surfactant from the group of addition products of ethylene oxide and C.sub.8-C.sub.24 fatty alcohols.

A process for dyeing keratinous material is provided. The process includes (1) applying a coloring agent (a) to the keratinous material. The coloring agent (a) includes (a1) at least one amino-functionalized silicone polymer and (a2) at least one colorant compound. The method further includes (2) allowing the coloring agent (a) to act on the keratinous material for a period of 15 seconds to 10 minutes, and (3) rinsing out the dye (a) under running water for a period of 15 seconds to 10 minutes. In the process, no further cosmetic agent other than the coloring agent (a) is used.

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 an aqueous composition comprising at least one dispersion of polymer particles in a non-aqueous medium, at least one cationic polymer and at least one anionic polymer. The present invention also relates to a cosmetic treatment process, notably a process for styling keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair, using this composition. Finally, the present invention relates to the use of this composition for the cosmetic treatment of keratin fibres, in particular of human keratin fibres such as the hair, and in particular for styling the hair, i.e. for shaping and/or fixing the head of hair.

The present invention relates to a composition, which is preferably aqueous, comprising at least one cationic cellulose-based polymer, at least one sulfonic anionic polymer and at least one fixing polymer. The present invention also relates to a cosmetic treatment process, in particular a process for styling keratin fibers, in particular human keratin fibers such as the hair, using this composition. Finally, the present invention relates to the use of this composition for the cosmetic treatment of keratin fibers, in particular human keratin fibers such as the hair, and in particular for hair styling, i.e. shaping and/or fixing the head of hair.

The disclosure relates to compositions comprising (a) at least one cyclodextrin or derivative thereof; (b) at least one solvent; (c) optionally at least one cationic surfactant; (c) optionally at least one emulsifier; (d) optionally at least one silicone; and (e) optionally at least one oil. The compositions can be used for imparting benefits to keratin fibers, such as elongation of hair curls. The disclosure also relates to methods of using the compositions.

The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition for the treatment of keratin fibres, particularly human keratin fibres such as hair, comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium, one or more organosilanes, one or more cationic polymers having charge density greater than or equal to 4 meq/g and one or more cationic surfactants. The present invention also relates to a cosmetic process for treating keratin fibres using said cosmetic composition. The present invention finally relates to the use of said composition for the cosmetic treatment of keratin fibres.

Method for treating hair comprising the successive application onto hair of polymeric layers which can be removed to a large extent or even totally in an easy manner upon request of the user by using a cationic surfactant.

Hair treatment compositions containing about 0.1 to about 8 wt. % of xylan or derivatives thereof; about 0.2 to about 23 wt. % of gluconic acid; about 2 to about 45 wt. % of sorbitol; and water, wherein all percentages by weight are based on the total weight of the cosmetic composition. The weight fraction of the total amount of xylan or derivatives thereof to the total amount of gluconic acid is greater than 0.2 to less than 1. Example hair treatment compositions may form a film of xylan or derivatives thereof and gluconic acid on an individual's hair after the hair treatment composition has been rinsed from the hair. Methods for producing and using such hair treatment compositions are also provided.
