Described herein is a method of conditioning the hair, the method including providing a hair care composition, adding a hydrofluoropropene to the hair care composition at a concentrated hair care composition to hydrofluoropropene weight ratio of from about 85:15 to about 98:2 to create a pressurized hair care composition, dispensing the pressurized hair care composition from an aerosol dispenser as a foam, applying the foam to the hair, and rinsing the foam from the hair. The hair care composition includes from about 0.5% to about 18% silicone, less than 8% high melting point fatty compound, and less than 5% cationic surfactant. The hair care composition has a viscosity of from about 1 centipoise to about 15,000 centipoise. The hair care composition has a high melting point fatty compound to silicone weight ratio of from about 0 to about 50:50.

A water swellable cross-linked elastomer and method of preparation is provided. The elastomer can advantageously be included in skin treatment compositions. Swellable elastomers in accordance with the invention are particularly well suited for inclusion in skin tightening cosmetic products. The elastomers can be formulated to form a film. When applied to skin, an elastomer in accordance with preferred embodiments of the invention can adhere to the skin and shrink as it dries. This can provide a skin tightening, lifting and wrinkle smoothening effect upon drying. This effect can temporarily mask the appearance of wrinkles.

Provided are methods for straightening hair, which comprise contacting the hair with a hair straightening agent and one or more aminosilicones, and, optionally, one or more epoxysilicones. Also provided are compositions, which include a carrier, a hair straightening agent, and an effective amount of one or more aminosilicones, and, optionally, one or more epoxysilicones. Additionally provided are products, which include one or more hair straightening agents, an effective amount of one or more aminosilicones, and instructions for applying the hair straightening agent(s) and aminosilicone(s) to the hair. The products of the invention may optionally include an effective amount of one or more epoxysilicones and instructions for applying the epoxysilicone(s) to the hair.

A cosmetic having high portability including a liquid cosmetic impregnated in an impregnated body is provided, which is excellent in usability and cosmetic effects while keeping an ultraviolet light protection factor (SPF). A liquid cosmetic including an (A) ultraviolet light absorber in an amount of 1 to 10 mass %, and a (B) ultraviolet light scattering agent and a pigment grade titanium dioxide in an amount of 10 to 25 mass % is impregnated in an impregnated body. The liquid cosmetic is taken from the impregnated body by a finger or an applicator to be applied to the skin.
