A hair care composition that includes 0.05% to 5% of a hydrophilic polymer selected from the group consisting of polyvinylalcohols, polyacrylates ethers, polyvinyl pyrrolidones, polyvinyl pyrrolidones copolymer, vinyl cyanides, vinyl phosphates, vinyl phosphonates, vinyl sulfates, vinyl sulfonates, polyamines, cellulose, collagen, polyethylene glycols, polycarboxylate co-polymers of maleic/olefin, and mixtures thereof. The hair care composition provides a water contact angle of <85 to hair reduces oil transfer to hair.

A method of providing a treatment for cleaning and removing oils from hair includes providing a cosmetic that includes a blend of a powder phase including at least two absorbents selected from the group of mica, silica, starch, talc, kaolin and zeolite, and at least one emollient with a solvent phase. The blended powder and solvent phases are formed into a dry shampoo product adapted for manual application to the hair. A porous mold may be used to provide the cosmetic. Techniques may be applied to other forms of cosmetic compositions.

The present invention provides a composition and method for preparing a customized personal care product. The composition comprising a base composition and at least one additive compositions. The base composition is at least one or combination of organic or inorganic ingredients and organic origin ingredients, and the additive compositions include at least one hair care based additive compositions. at least one customized additive of predetermined composition from an ampoule is added to the base composition. The base composition and at least one customized additive compositions are mixed to form a customized personal care composition. The personal care product could be a health care product, beauty product, face serum product, body lotion product, hair care product, or any other product.

Suggested is a pharmaceutical composition comprising valerian extracts or their derivatives that is particularly useful for affecting the sebaceous gland metabolism by exerting a relevant activity as regulator of sebum production (sebogenesis) and the subcutis adipocytes metabolism by regulating adipogenesis.

A sulfate-free personal care composition that includes a rhamnolipid surfactant and provides good cleaning and foaming properties. The rhamnolipid surfactant has a single rhamnose head group (i.e., mono-rhamno) and a single lipid tail group (i.e., mono lipid). The single lipid tail group has a carbon chain length of 10 to 13. The composition may include one or more additional surfactants selected from anionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, zwitterionic surfactants, non-ionic surfactants, cationic surfactants and combinations thereof, as long as the additional surfactant is free of sulfates. The composition also includes a dermatologically acceptable carrier.

Process for the cosmetic treatment of braided hair with a composition comprising a thickening polymer, a derivative of menthol and a particular non-ionic surfactant. The present invention relates to a process for the cosmetic treatment of braided hair, utilizing a cosmetic composition comprising in a hydro-alcoholic medium, a thickening polymer, a derivative of menthol and a particular non-ionic surfactant.

The present invention is aimed at providing a novel peptide with quick expression of drug efficacy/effect and long duration of maintaining amelioration, a medicament or an external preparation comprising the same, in particular a prophylactic or therapeutic for dermatitis, skin roughness, rhinitis, alopecia or thinning hair, or a hair growth stimulant, hair growing agent, an antipruritic or a skin-care product, etc. The present invention has reached said object by providing a cyclic peptide having an amino acid sequence expressed by the formula I or a derivative thereof or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the amino acid sequence has no peptide bond other than those which are formed between the amino acids constituting the amino acid sequence.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising a combination of an antioxidant, of a specific fatty acid ester, a Bifidobacterium species lysate and a yeast extract. The invention also relates to a method for the cosmetic treatment of keratin materials, in particular human keratin materials, such as the scalp and the hair, employing said composition.
