Disclosed is a hair colouring composition containing amino acids with at least a pKa greater than 10, oxidative dyes, and acetylaspartic acid or salts thereof. The compositions according to the invention do not contain ammonia or ethanolamine, do not damage the hair, guarantee shine and combability, and also cover white hair and withstand blue light.

The invention relates to a cosmetic composition which comprises: (i) one or more anionic surfactants, (ii) at least 3.5% by weight of one or more fatty acids, relative to the total weight of the composition, and (iii) one or more antidandruff agents, the anionic surfactant(s)/fatty acid(s) weight ratio being from 0.5 to 3.5. The invention also relates to the use of said composition for washing and conditioning the hair.

A hair treatment composition comprising (a) from 0.01 to 10 wt % of surfactant in a solvent, by weight of the total composition, and (b) a mixture of amino acids, wherein the mixture of amino acids comprises glutamic acid, alanine and proline gives damage repair benefits to chemically damaged hair.

Topical personal care compositions containing amino acids and 4-substituted resorcinols for potentiating glutathione synthesis within skin cells. The compositions can be used to improve skin appearance of chronological aging or photoaging, resulting from exposure to UV light/sunlight, or environmental pollutants. The compositions are also useful for attaining even skin color and reducing pigmentation, age spots and discoloration.

The invention discloses transparent cleansing compositions for personal care which are based on one or more vegetable oils, potassium N-acyl L-prolinate as an anionic surfactant and polyglyceryl-3 oleate as a non-ionic surfactant. The personal care cleansing formulae disclosed herein are totally based on bio-renewable ingredients. Further, in contrast to the compositions from the prior arts, the cleansing compositions of the present invention are free from toxic and petrochemical based ingredients or impurities.

The present invention relates to cochleates using phosphatidylserine/anionic surfactant/calcium chloride and, more specifically, to cochleates comprising phosphatidylserine, an anionic surfactant, calcium chloride, an active ingredient, and water.

Chemical compositions, and related methods for synthesizing furan, such as oleo-furan, surfactants, include calcium, magnesium, ammonium and/or lithium cations and one of a number of furan derivatives. Methods for synthesizing such furan surfactants containing calcium, magnesium, ammonium and/or lithium cations can include chemical reagents and purification procedures to prepare furan surfactants containing calcium, magnesium, ammonium and/or lithium cations. These furan surfactant compositions can be free of dioxane and ethoxylate.

A subject of the present invention is a composition comprising: a) at least one sebum-absorbing powder with a sebum uptake of greater than or equal to 35 ml/100 g, and/or at least one styling powder; b) at least one aluminium salt other than the sebum-absorbing powders with a sebum uptake of greater than or equal to 35 ml/100 g, and/or than the styling powders; c) optionally a propellant. A subject of the present invention is also to a process for the thy-washing and cosmetic treatment of keratin materials, comprising a step of applying the composition to the hair.

Disclosed is a compound of formula (I′): R′—O—CH2-CH(OH)—[CH2-O—CH2]s-[CH(OH)]p-CH2-O—R″ (I′), formula (I″), wherein s is equal to 0 or 1, and p is equal to 0, 1, 2 or 3, R′ and R″, identical or different, represent a hydrogen atom, or a monovalent radical of formula (II′a), or a monovalent radical of formula (II′b), in order to prevent or slow down the appearance of the signs of ageing of the human skin or lips or to eradicate these signs. Also disclosed are a novel product, novel composition and cosmetic method.

A combination of N-acetyl-L-cysteine, selenium in the form of selenomethionine and melatonin, and a medical product or pharmaceutical composition comprising such combination, useful for the treatment of a variety of diseases and conditions is described. The combination of N-acetyl-L-cysteine, selenium in the form of selenomethionine and melatonin is also useful for cosmetic treatment of skin and as an antibacterial agent.
