The present invention relates to an aqueous oxidizing composition comprising one or more oxidizing agent, one or more sugar and/or one or more polyethylene glycol and having a pH in the range of 1 to 5.

The present invention is directed to hair care composition comprising from about 8 to about 17% of one or more surfactants; from about 0.01% to about 10% of one or more surfactant soluble antidandruff agents; from about 0.01% to about 5% of one or more polyacrylate or polyacrylamide based thickening polymer; from about 0.02-0.25% salicylate salts or acids; from about 0.02-0.25% benzoate salts or acids wherein there is a weight ratio of about 1:1 to 12.5:1 for the salicylate salts or acids to benzoate salts or acids.

Novel systems and methods for performing treatment (e.g., coloration) of keratinous fibers are disclosed. The methods and systems utilize one or more of a dispensing device which is configured to provide customized composition for treating keratinous fibers (e.g., a coloring composition), optionally formed from tablets; an optical reader, for obtaining sufficient characteristics of the keratinous fibers to make a realistic prediction of the outcome of a treatment (e.g., coloring treatment); a computational units for predicting an outcome of a treatment, optionally being interfaced with the dispensing device and for selecting a customized treatment; and tablet formulations which are useful in preparing customized composition for treating keratinous fibers. Further disclosed are rapidly disintegrating tablets for use in the preparation of compositions for treating keratinous fibers.

A personal care composition comprising a surfactant-insoluble piroctone complex and a surfactant.

Disclosed is a topical composition comprising: (i) an antimicrobial active which is at least one of piroctone, caprylhydroxamic acid, benzohydroxamic acid, or piroctone olamine; and (ii) norbraylin. Also disclosed is a non-therapeutic method of providing topical antimicrobial benefit on a topical surface of a human or animal body comprising a step of applying a safe and effective amount of the topical composition.

Disclosed is a topical composition comprising: (i) an antimicrobial active which is at least one of piroctone, caprylhydroxamic acid, benzohydroxamic acid, or piroctone olamine; and (ii) Febrifugine. Also disclosed is a non-therapeutic method of providing topical antimicrobial benefit on a topical surface of a human or animal body comprising a step of applying a safe and effective amount of the topical composition.

Described herein is a hair color composition for dyeing the hair. The hair color composition includes one or more direct dye compounds and one or more additional ingredients. The one or more direct dye compounds each include a chromophore, one or two permanent cations, one to four incipient cations, and one or more hydrophobic moieties. The incipient cations are pendant to the core structure and are neutral. The one or more direct dye compounds enter the hair shaft after the hair color composition is applied to the hair. The hair color composition has a pH of from about 7 to about 11.

The present invention describes a composition for colouring hair, comprising at least one dye having the formula (I) and at least one dye having the formula (II):

##STR00001##

where the groups are defined in the description.

The composition provides hair colourings stable and brilliant at various pH values and also resistant to washing.

Moisturizer compositions include about 1 to about 5 wt % niacinamide, about 0.5 to about 2 wt % pantothenic acid, about 0.5 to about 2 wt % pyridoxine, about 0.05 to about 1 wt % of a skin barrier enhancer, about 1 to about 10 wt % of a humectant, about 1 to about 10 wt % citric acid, about 0.1 to about 0.5 wt % an ascorbic acid salt or an ascorbic acid derivative, about 0.01 to about 0.2 wt % of a non-naturally occurring preservative, about 0.5 to about 2 wt % of a natural preservative and balance of a water:glycerin mixture, where the water:glycerin mixture has at least about 50 wt % water.

A light-therapeutic composition is disclosed, which can modify the optical characteristics of the skin, thereby increase the effectiveness of the UV-B therapy. The composition according to the invention includes one or more material, which sets the minimum value of wavelength of the light transmitted, one or more material, which is suitable to modify the above-mentioned wavelength value, and increase the transmittance of the skin in a certain wavelength-range, furthermore, optionally an excipient. The composition according to the invention blocks the UV radiation in the wavelength ranging from 280 to 300 nm, and helps the incorporation of the UV radiation by the skin in the wavelength ranging from 310 to 320 nm.
