The invention relates to a process for the cosmetic treatment of keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair, implementing the application of a composition comprising at least one surfactant, and the application of a composition comprising a particular metal compound and a conditioning agent chosen from cationic surfactants and/or fatty alcohols.

The present invention relates to a multiple-compartment device (1) composed of a closed envelop (2) divided in at least two distinct compartments (7a) and (7b) separated from one another by at least one internal frangible seal (8), wherein one of the compartments (7a) containing a composition (A), comprising one oxidation dye precursor, one anionic surfactant, one amphoteric surfactant chosen from betaine; and another one of the compartments (7b) containing an oxidizing composition (B) comprising at least one oxidizing agent.

A cosmetic kit includes a composition that includes a wax emulsion and a polymer. The kit further includes an applicator with a plurality of bristles. At least one of the bristles is made of a thermoplastic elastomer having a hardness in a range of 32 shore D to 38 shore D. Also disclosed is a method of applying a cosmetic compound. The method includes the step of depositing the cosmetic compound on an applicator, wherein the composition includes a wax emulsion and a polymer. The applicator includes a plurality of bristles, and at least one of the bristles is formed from a thermoplastic elastomer having a hardness in a range of 32 shore D to 38 shore D. The method further includes the step of brushing the applicator against a keratin fiber to transfer the cosmetic compound from the applicator to the keratin fiber.

The present invention relates to a composition that acts prior to the action of a tooth whitening composition or tooth whitening patch, the composition containing an oral cavity stimulation alleviating component able to reduce stimulation by the tooth whitening composition or patch. The present invention also relates to a tooth whitening kit whereby oral cavity stimulation is alleviated. The composition that acts prior to the action of a tooth whitening composition or patch of the present invention provides an outstanding tooth whitening effect while alleviating pain by mitigating intra-oral stimulation brought about by the rapid action of a tooth whitening component due to a tooth whitening component active agent.

Disclosed herein is a multi-compartment container and methods of use thereof where the container is comprised of a first and a second aerosol chamber proximate to one another; a spray nozzle; and a spray nozzle retention device, wherein the spray nozzle is operably coupled to the spray nozzle retention device such that the spray nozzle can be operably engaged with the first aerosol chamber and then moved to separate from the first aerosol chamber and operably engage with the second aerosol chamber by movement of at least a portion of the spray nozzle retention device.

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for treating fat deposit accumulation in a subject. The invention provides a non-surgical method for reducing fat deposits comprising administering an effective amount of a fat-lysing concentration of one or more of cholate and chenodeoxycholate in a pharmaceutically acceptable formulation to the subject in need thereof.

The subject of the present disclosure is a process for dyeing keratinous material, in particular human hair. In one example, the process includes applying an agent (a) to the keratinous material. The agent (a) contains at least one organic silicon compound from the group of silanes with one, two or three silicon atoms. The agent (a) further contains at least one silicone polymer. An agent (b) is applied to the keratinous material. The agent (b) contains at least one pigment.

Cosmetic compositions capable of forming a multilayer structure after application to a keratinous material are provided, as well as methods of applying such compositions to a keratinous material.

A process for decolorizing keratinous material which has been colored by the application of at least one pigment is disclosed. The process comprises applying to a dyed keratin material a decolorizing agent comprising at least one amphoteric and/or zwitterionic surfactant and a pH of from about 1.0 to about 4.3. The process further comprises rinsing the decolorizing agent from the keratin material after a contact time. A method for dyeing and later decolorizing human hair is also disclosed, and comprises applying a colorant to the hair to give a dyed hair, the colorant comprising at least one amino-functionalized silicone polymer and at least one pigment; applying to the dyed hair the decolorizing agent to give a decolorized hair; and rinsing the decolorizing agent from the decolorized hair. A multi-component packaging unit comprising a first container comprising the colorant and a second container comprising the decolorizing agent is also disclosed.

Disclosed are methods for coloring hair, comprising applying a mixture comprising one or more hair dyes and an additive as a pre-treatment, as a simultaneous treatment, as a post-treatment, or a combination thereof.
