An ethanol-free perfumed composition includes a fragrance and: a) at least one crypto anionic surfactant, b) at least one ethoxylated nonionic surfactant having a molecular weight greater than 1700 containing at least 40% of ethylene oxide, d) at least one glycol having from 3 to 8 carbon atoms, and e) water; wherein the weight ratio of the fragrance to the surfactants and glycols is from 1/1 to 1/6.

The disclosure relates to special orthoformic acid esters of formula (I), as defined herein, which can be used as thermally labile and acid-labile fragrance storage substances. The disclosure further relates to detergents and cleaning agents, cosmetic agents and air freshening products containing such orthoformic acid esters, as well as to a method for lastingly fragrancing surfaces.

Cyclohexenone and cyclohexenol compounds are provided having specific fragrances and remanence properties, along with methods for synthesizing these compounds, including obtaining the compound by condensing a ketone on an ?-methylene-aldehyde in order to obtain, by means of a domino reaction, compounds of formula (II) as follows: ##STR00001##

The present invention relates to a method of preparing a hair care composition comprising a step of adding perfume, silicone, phenoxyethanol, benzyl alcohol, and/or parabens perfumes and/or silicones, before adding antidandruff agents. Preferably, perfumes and/or silicones are added before adding antidandruff agents. The method of the present invention provides reduced agglomeration of antidandruff agent selected from metal pyrithiones.

An additive is disclosed for use with existing hair coloring products that combines multiple hair dye sources and classifications to create a single precise color tone on demand. The additive salvages chemical parts from existing hair coloring products to create a multitude of new hair coloring options. The additive perfects the dye diffusion process using physics, electrochemical technology and chemical screening technology. The resultant additive mixed with an existing hair product solves many of the problems within the hair coloring industry and enhances safety through lower toxicity.

A deodorant composition may include a base. The deodorant composition may also include one of a deodorant and an antiperspirant distributed throughout the base. Additionally, the deodorant composition may include a tint mixture that mimics skin tone when distributed throughout the base.

A micro electromechanical ink jet printing system that has a cartridge having a body that defines a core, and a die that contains one or more nozzles. There is a treatment composition contained within the cartridge core. The system further includes a CPU that is programmable and can control the application of the treatment composition from within the cartridge core, through the one or more nozzles to human skin. Typically, the treatment composition will contain a skin treatment ingredient selected from the group consisting of particles, vitamins, yeast and yeast extracts, skin care actives, dyes, colorants and mixtures thereof. There may optionally be provided a bladder or foam block disposed within the cartridge core for suspending and regulating the flow of the treatment composition. The systems of this invention may include an applicator having an applicator head having one or more applicator nozzles which may be in a array. The applicator has a sensor that takes an image of at least 10 m.sup.2 of skin, the CPU analyzes the image to calculate one or more localized L values of individual pixels or group of pixels of the skin. Then the CPU compares the local L value to a predetermined background L value to identify skin deviations. A skin deviation occurs where the difference between the background L value and the local L value is greater than a predetermined L.sub.S value.
