Described herein is a method for treating hair including: (a) putting the hair in a desired shape; (b) before and/or after the hair is put in the desired shape, applying a reducing composition to the hair including: (i) from about 2.5% to about 15% of a cationic mercapto amino pyridinium compound or a cationic dimercapto amino pyridinium compound; (ii) from about 4% to about 10% of a buffering system; and (iii) from about 50% to about 93.5% of a solvent; (c) rinsing the reducing composition from the hair; (d) applying an oxidizing composition to the hair including: (i) from about 0.5% to about 12% of an oxidizing agent; and (ii) from about 80% to about 97% of a solvent; and (e) rinsing the oxidizing composition from the hair. The reducing composition has a pH of from about 8 to about 10.5;

Disclosed herein are biodegradable coating and paint compositions comprising 1,3-propanediol, wherein the 1,3-propanediol in said biodegradable composition has a bio-based carbon content of about 1% to 100%. In addition, it is preferred that the 1,3-propanediol be biologically-derived, and wherein upon biodegradation, the biologically-derived 1,3-propanediol contributes no anthropogenic CO2 emissions to the atmosphere.

The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition added to the body wax wherein, the cosmetic composition is made from naturally ingredients that has properties to treat the at least one users skin. The cosmetic composition herein also contains calming fragrances. The key unique feature of the cosmetic composition is the combination of both an anesthetic and hair gripping/removal properties in a single product. The cosmetic composition includes herbs and essential oils that are anti-inflammatory as well as antimicrobial in nature to provide healthy skin to the at least one user.

Compositions and methods for selectively and permanently removing hair from the body. The compositions are formulated to be topically applied upon discrete areas of the body and contain an agent present in an amount sufficient to cause permanent alopecia about the area upon which the composition is applied. Exemplary of such agents include taxanes, such as docetaxel and paclitaxel, and busulfan and other agents known in the art to cause permanent chemotherapy-induced alopecia (CIA). The compositions and methods of applying the same are limited exclusively to transdermal application and operative to induce a localized CIA, and thus avoid systemic distribution of the CIA agent throughout the body. The compositions may further be deployed through known transdermal application mechanisms, such as transdermal patches and the like.
