The invention relates to a process for dyeing keratin fibers by treating said fibers with i) at least one aromatic compound comprising a hydrocarbon-based polycycle comprising at least 10 carbon atoms, at least one of the rings of which is aromatic, ii) at least one indol(in)e compound; optionally iii) at least one metal salt, iv) at least hydrogen peroxide or at least one hydrogen peroxide-generating system and v) at least one basifying agent; to a dye composition comprising ingredients i) and ii), and optionally iii) to v) as defined previously and to a kit comprising ingredients i) to v) as defined previously. This hair dyeing process makes it possible to obtain better colorings which are more uniform, chromatic and long-lasting and which do not impair the cosmetic properties of the keratin fibers, and prevents changing of the color associated with the presence of indol(in)e derivatives.

The present invention relates to the field of antimicrobials and pharmaceutical sciences. The invention provides anti-fungal compositions for the management of fungal growth and treatment of fungal infections, including treatment of resistant fungal infections. The present compositions comprise at least one antifungal agent and at least one medium-chain saturated or unsaturated fatty acid having carbon chain length of C-1 to C-14 or ester thereof, optionally along with excipient(s), giving rise to a synergistic antifungal activity.

The subject matter of the present disclosure is an oxidative dye for oxidative color change of keratinic fibers, in particular human hair which contains, in a cosmetically suitable vehicle, at least one alkalizing agent, at least one oxidative dye precursor of the developer type and at least one oxidative dye precursor of the coupler type, at least one extract of Quassia amara and, based on the weight of the oxidative dye, from about 0 to less than about 0.1 wt % peroxide compounds.

The present invention relates to an aqueous cosmetic powder composition especially designed for styling hair comprising water, hydrophobic colloidal silica and a water soluble non-ionic polyol having at least three hydroxyl groups and is solid at ambient temperature.

The present invention relates to a composition for dyeing keratin fibres, in particular keratin fibres such as the hair, comprising: a) at least one oxidation base 3-(2,5-diaminophenyl)-1-propanol acid salts thereof or solvates thereof such as hydrates; b) at least one heterocyclic oxidation base; c) at least one coupler; d) optionally at least one fatty substance; e) optionally at least one basifying agent; and f) optionally at least one chemical oxidizing agent. The invention also relates to a process for dyeing keratin fibres such as the hair using the composition of the invention, and to a multi-compartment device for using the composition of the invention.

The instant disclosure relates to methods and kits for artificially coloring hair and improving the durability of the artificially colored hair. The methods include: (I) combining an antioxidant booster composition, a hair coloring base composition, and a developer composition to form an antioxidant-enriched hair coloring composition within 2 hours of application to the hair; (II) applying the antioxidant enriched hair coloring composition to the hair and allowing the antioxidant enriched hair coloring composition to remain on the hair for a period of time; and (III) rinsing the antioxidant enriched hair coloring composition from the hair. The antioxidant booster composition can be included in a kit with a hair coloring base composition and/or a developer composition, wherein the antioxidant booster composition, the coloring base composition, and the developer composition are separately contained.

The present disclosure provides composition having at least one leuco composition conforming to Formula (I):

Ar.sup.1Ar.sup.2Ar.sup.3CH(I)

wherein Ar.sup.2 and Ar.sup.3 are independently a carbocyclic aryl or heteroaryl, and Ar.sup.1 is selected from the group consisting of: unsubstituted phenyl, electron deficient carbocyclic aryl, and heteroaryl. The present disclosure also provides a method of detecting an authentic composition and test kits for detecting authentic compositions.

The invention relates to a process for dyeing keratin fibers, comprising the use of one or more metal catalysts and of a composition (A) comprising: one or more oxidizing agents, and at least one monoaminobenzene of formula (I), or an addition salt or solvate thereof in which the radicals R1 to R5 represent, independently of each other: a hydrogen atom; a halogen atom, a C1-C6 alkyl radical, a C1-C6 alkoxy radical, a carboxylic radical (COOH), a sulfonic radical (S03 H); two of the adjacent radicals R1 to R5 possibly forming, with the carbon atoms that bear them, a saturated or unsaturated 5- to 7-membered ring, optionally comprising from 1 to 2 heteroatoms, preferably oxygen, the said ring being optionally fused with a saturated or unsaturated 5- to 6-membered ring; on condition that at least one of the radicals R1 to R5 represents an optionally substituted alkoxy radical and preferably at least one of the other radicals R1 to R5 is a hydrogen atom. ##STR00001##
