A pharmaceutical composition or a cosmetic composition for treating hair loss, or promoting hair growth is described. The composition according to the present invention exhibits an excellent effect of treating hair loss and promoting hair growth, and can be safely used regardless of sex and age.

The present invention relates to an anhydrous composition comprising at least one amino silicone, at least one alkoxysilane of formula (VIII), and at least one coloring agent chosen from pigments, direct dyes and mixtures thereof. The present invention also relates to a process for treating keratin fibers such as the hair.

The present invention relates to a process for bleaching keratin fibers, in particular human keratin fibers such as the hair, comprising a step of applying, to said fibers, an oxidizing composition comprising hydrogen peroxide and a non-peroxygenated ammonium salt with a molar mass of greater than 40 g/mol and a step of irradiating said fibers with UV-visible radiation having a wavelength ranging from 200 to 800 nm and a fluence ranging from 1 to 5000 J/cm2, after application of said oxidizing composition.

A hair treatment kit comprises a hair treatment composition selected from the group of semi-permanent oxidative and/or direct dye hair colorant compositions, hair bleaching compositions, highlighting compositions, and combinations thereof, a reservoir for holding the temporary hair treatment composition, and an applicator fluidly connected to the reservoir for selectively applying the hair treatment composition to a targeted area of hair. Methods of applying the hair treatment composition comprise selectively engaging the applicator with a targeted area of hair, leaving the hair treatment composition in the targeted area for a time period, washing the hair treatment composition out of the targeted area, closing the reservoir to preserve remaining hair treatment composition for later use, and reapplying the hair treatment composition to the targeted area.

The present disclosure relates to color-altering compositions. The compositions comprise a hair color-altering agent and at least one carboxylic acid. Certain compositions further comprise at least one amino acid or amino sulfonic acid, and/or a salt thereof selected from the group consisting of taurine, aspartic acid, cysteine, lysine, methionine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, carnitine, a salt thereof, and a mixture thereof. Also provided are kits and methods of using said color-altering compositions.

Peptides are provided herein, wherein the peptide bearing one or more amino acid sequence differences relative to SEQ ID NO: 1, with the amino acid sequence differences comprising at least one cysteine replacement.

The present invention is a formable dental treatment tray utilizing poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) and a gelatinous active. Blending of the active is accomplished by mixing the Poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) with an active ingredient, such as a peroxide like hydrogen peroxide, carbamide peroxide, sodium perborate, or sodium percarbonate, usually also with water or an appropriate organic solvent. Peroxide concentrations in these new gels can reach a 30% concentration of hydrogen peroxide while maintaining a shelf life of six months at room temperature without developing peroxide decomposition. The gels are applied to an appropriate backing and dried to a gelatinous state. In use, the active is hydrated and regains adhesiveness. Then the tray is pressed and formed around a user's dental arch to form the customizable tray. Multiple active ingredients may be used, with or without peroxide, for accomplishing desired treatment regimens.
