A container configured to hold a multiphase shampoo composition. The multiphase shampoo composition has a cleansing phase containing a detersive surfactant and a benefit phase containing a gel network. The cleansing phase and benefit phase are visually discrete phases, in physical contact, and form an aesthetic design suspended across at least a portion of the container.

The invention discloses a personal care composition comprising a natural film-forming biopolymer and a water-containing solvent wherein said composition further comprises a compound containing an amine moiety or a compound containing a quaternary ammonium moiety. Optionally the solvent is an alcohol/water mixture. Particularly, the invention relates to a personal care composition for application to a keratinous substrate such as human hair. Methods of making and applying the composition are also disclosed.

The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising a) one or more polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) copolymers which contain, and preferably consist of, at least two different repeating polymer units chosen from the units (A) and (B) below, and also the optical or geometrical isomers thereof, the organic or mineral acid or base salts thereof, and the solvates thereof such as hydrates: -[-0-CH(R.sup.1)—CH.sub.2—C(0)-]- unit (A) -[-0-CH(R.sup.2)—CH.sub.2—C(0)-]- unit (B) in which polymer units (A) and (B): —R.sup.1 represents a hydrocarbon-based chain chosen from i) linear or branched (C.sub.5-C.sub.28)alkyl, ii) linear or branched (C.sub.6-C.sub.28)alkenyl, iii) linear or branched (C.sub.6-C.sub.28)alkynyl; preferably, the hydrocarbon-based group is linear; said hydrocarbon-based chain being optionally substituted and/or interrupted with atoms or groups as described in the description; —R.sup.2 represents a cyclic or non-cyclic, linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon-based group, comprising from 3 to 30 carbon atoms; and b) one or more surfactants; it being understood that (A) is different from (B).

Methods and kits for treating hair or preventing damage in the relaxing of hair are disclosed herein. Hair that is damaged during a relaxing treatment with hydroxide-containing relaxing agents, can be treated with formulations containing one or more active agents. The active agent formulations can be applied simultaneously with the hair relaxing formulation, or optionally applied immediately following application of the relaxing formulation, to reduce damage and breakage. Use of the active agent formulation along with a relaxing treatment can be used to control the level of curl achieved or retained in the relaxed hair, as compared to the natural amount of curl in the untreated hair.

The present invention belongs to the cosmetic field and relates to a cosmetic oil in water emulsion.

Water-dispersible solid compositions that comprise at least one water-soluble polysaccharide, and at least one quaternary ammonium compound, amine, or protonated amine compound as an active ingredient that is absorbed by the polysaccharide are disclosed. The compositions are useful for a wide variety of applications, such as fabric softener compositions, hair care compositions, sanitizing compositions, and well bore treatment compositions.

A dissolvable solid structure that is formed by a homogeneous mixture. The mixture includes from about 1% to about 10% of a first polymeric structurant having a molecular weight of from about 1,000,000 g/mol to about 4,000,000 g/mol, from about 10% to about 20% of a second polymeric structurant having a molecular weight of from about 50,000 g/mol to about 500,000 g/mol, from about 10 wt% to about 85 wt% of one or more high melting point fatty material having a carbon chain length C12-C22 or mixtures thereof and a melting point above 25° C., and from about 1 wt% to about 60 wt% of a cationic surfactant. The dissolvable solid structures can provide an adequate strength during manufacturing, while not deteriorating usage feel when used and/or applied by consumers.

Disclosed herein are oral care compositions comprising at least one phosphate/acrylate copolymer, at least one cationic antibacterial agent, at least one synthetic anionic linear polycarboxylate polymer, at least one surfactant, and zinc lactate. Also disclosed herein are methods for the treatment and/or inhibition of gum disease or halitosis comprising contacting the oral cavity with the oral care compositions disclosed herein, as well as methods of making the oral care compositions disclose herein.

A cleansing composition that simultaneously provides excellent washing performance and a good care feeling while securing good stability without being influenced by the use environment. The cleansing composition includes components (A) to (C): (A) an internal olefin sulfonate having 12 or more and 24 or less of carbon atoms: 1.8 mass % to 20 mass %; (B) a cationic surfactant represented by a specific formula: 0.1 mass % to 8 mass %; and (C) an aliphatic alcohol having 12 or more and 22 or less of carbon atoms: 1 mass % to 20 mass %, wherein a mass ratio of the content of the component (B) to component (A), (B)/(A), is 0.1 to 1, and a mass ratio of the content of the component (C) to the total of the components (A) and (B), (C)/{(A)+(B)}, is 0.1 to 4.5 or less.

A cleansing composition comprising a detersive surfactant; an aqueous carrier; from about 0.5% to about 30% by weight of the cleansing composition of discrete particles comprising anhydrous particles and an aqueous phase, and wherein said anhydrous particles comprise: one or more fatty amphiphile selected from the group consisting of fatty alcohol, fatty ester, fatty acid, fatty amide and mixtures thereof; of one or more secondary surfactants selected from the group consisting of anionic, nonionic, zwitterionic, cationic or mixtures thereof. Wherein the discrete particle of the cleansing composition has a size from about 500 microns to about 7000 microns, and wherein the cleansing composition has a % transmittance of about 75% or higher.
