The present invention provides a composition comprising a high load of metal oxides that is phase stable and sprayable. It comprises a branched hydrophobically modified ethoxylated urethane copolymer and a hydrophobically modified alkali swellable emulsion copolymer comprising of one or more acrylate monomers and an ethoxylated associative comonomer.

The present disclosure relates to cosmetic agents for changing the color of keratinic materials, in particular human hair, containing (a) at least one aliphatic and/or aromatic alcohol having from about 2 to about 8 carbon atoms, (b) at least one clay mineral modified with quaternary ammonium compounds and (c) at least one color pigment.

The present disclosure relates to a cosmetic composition for treatment of keratinous fibers, particularly for the temporary coloring of keratinous fibers, for example as a hair mascara or as a coloring agent for eyebrows. The composition contains water, at least one nonionic oil-in-water emulsifier, at least one hydrophobized pigment, polyphenylmethylsiloxane and at least one linear 1-alkanol with from about 14 to about 30 carbon atoms which is solid at 30 C., wherein the total amount of soap, relative to the weight of the cosmetic composition, is less than about 0.5 wt. % and particularly about 0 wt. %, and wherein the total amount of polysiloxanes, with the exception of polyphenylmethylsiloxane, relative to the weight of the cosmetic composition, is from about 0 to about 1 wt. % and particularly about 0 wt. %.

Disclosed herein is zinc/amino acid functionalized silica, compositions comprising the same, and oral care methods and uses for such compositions.

A method for cleaning surfaces, wherein the surface to be cleaned is simultaneously or successively brought into contact with two components of a treatment solution, wherein a first component of the treatment solution has a first active ingredient that is embodied to couple to a contaminant to be cleaned off and is embodied to stimulate or catalyze a chemical reaction of a second active ingredient in a second component of the treatment solution, wherein the second active ingredient used in the second component of the treatment solution is a gas mixture having at least two gaseous components that react chemically with each other under the influence of the first active ingredient.

There are described alkoxy-silanes compounds and related condensation products as cosmetic raw materials and for coating cosmetic powders; synthesis processes of such compounds and condensation products and production of coated cosmetic powders. Said cosmetic powders can be used for preparing cosmetic products such as anhydrous products for face/eyes/lips, cosmetic pencils and face/eyes emulsions.

Disclosed is a cosmetic composition capable of exhibiting various colors, including red, yellow and blue colors. The disclosed cosmetic composition comprises a red, yellow or blue pearlescent pigment prepared by coating a natural pigment on a matrix, so that it is capable of exhibiting various colors.

The present invention provides a composition comprising a high load of metal oxides that is phase stable and sprayable. It comprises a branched hydrophobically modified ethoxylated urethane copolymer and a hydrophobically modified alkali swellable emulsion copolymer comprising of one or more acrylate monomers and an ethoxylated associative comonomer.
