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.

An agent for dyeing keratinous material, in particular human hair, is disclosed. The agent is a colorant composition comprising at least one amino-functionalized silicone polymer, at least one color-imparting compound, and at least one organic carbonic acid ester. A process (method) for dyeing keratinous material with the agent is also disclosed. The process includes applying a colorant comprising the agent to the keratinous material, exposing the keratinous material to the agent for an exposure time sufficient for the color-imparting compound to act on the keratinous material, and rinsing out the keratinous material with water.

The subject of the present disclosure is a process for dyeing keratinous material, in particular human hair, comprising the following steps:

(1) Providing an agent (a), wherein the agent (a) comprises:

(a1) at least one amino-functionalized silicone polymer, and (a2) at least one colorant compound,

(2) providing an agent (b), wherein the agent (b) comprises, based on the total weight of the agent (b): (b1) 0 to about 50 wt. % water and (b2) at least one fat component,

(3) Preparation of an application mixture by mixing agents (a) and (b),

(4) Apply the application mixture prepared in step (3) to the keratinous material,

(5) Exposure of the application mixture applied in step (4) to the keratinous material; and

(6) Rinse the application mixture with water.

An external skin preparation comprises the following components (A) to (E), wherein the mass ratio of the component (A) to the component (B), (A)/(B), is from 0.3 to 2.0, wherein the content of the component (C) is from 0.1 to 1 mass %, and wherein the preparation has a pH at 25° C. of from 4.0 to 7.0: (A) one or more selected from the group consisting of aliphatic alcohols having from 14 to 20 carbon atoms; (B) two or more selected from the group consisting of polyhydric alcohol fatty acid ester-type nonionic surfactants; (C) one or more selected from the group consisting of N-acyl amino acids, N-acyl taurine, salts thereof, and phospholipids; (D) one or more selected from the group consisting of steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and heparinoids; and (E) water.

Hair compositions and methods for caring for and providing cosmetic benefits to the hair using the compositions are disclosed. The hair care compositions may include about 50 to about 90 wt. % of a polyol; about 0.1 to about 10 wt. % of fatty compounds, the fatty compounds comprising a carbonate and a fatty ether; about 10 to about 35 wt. % of a monoalcohol; and about 0.1 to about 5 wt. % of a cationic surfactant, wherein all weight percentages are based on the total weight of the hair composition. The hair care composition may be formulated to have a weight ratio of the total amount of carbonate to the total amount of fatty ether is about 3:1 to about 1:1.

A foaming antiperspirant or deodorant composition comprising: a. an oil and water emulsion; b. a first blowing agent with at least 0.1% water solubility at 20° C.; and c. a second blowing agent with a water solubility of at most 0.01% at 20° C.

A foaming antiperspirant or deodorant composition comprising: a. an oil in water emulsion comprising: i. a first oil phase comprising one or more emollients; ii. a second oil phase comprising one or more emollients; wherein the second oil phase emollients have at most 5% solubility in the first oil phase emollients; iii. an antiperspirant or deodorant active; iv. one or more nonionic emulsifier; and v. a fragrance; and b. at most about 15%, by weight of the composition, of a blowing agent.

Hair care compositions and methods for providing conditioning benefits to hair is disclosed. The hair care compositions may include one or more nonionic surfactants comprising one or more alkylpolyglucosides; one or more fatty alcohols; one or more fatty esters comprising caprylic/capric triglyceride; about 0.5 to about 30 wt. % of a fatty compound other than fatty alcohol and fatty ester; one or more silicones comprising polysilicone-11; one or more thickening agents; and water, wherein the hair care composition is an emulsion, and all weight percentages are based on the total weight of the hair care composition.

A preservation system comprising: i) itaconic acid or salt thereof and ii) a secondary preservation chemical selected from the list consisting of terpineol, geraniol, perillyl alcohol, menthol, terpinene, linalool, citronellol and mixtures thereof.

Heterocyclic compounds are provided. In particular, the heteroatom of the heterocyclic compound may be nitrogen. The heterocyclic compounds may demonstrate capacity of stabilizing photoactive compounds. Topical compositions comprising these heterocyclic compounds are also provided. In particular, these topical compositions further comprise photoactive compounds. Methods for stabilizing photoactive compounds are also provided.
