It is an object of the present disclosure to provide a method for treating keratinous material, in particular human hair, wherein there is applied to the keratinous material a first composition (A) comprising (A1) one or more organic C.sub.1-C.sub.6 alkoxy silanes and/or condensation products thereof, and a second composition (B) comprising (B1) a first cellulose and (B2) a second cellulose different from the first cellulose (B1).

The present invention relates to a composition comprising: (a) at least one particle comprising at least one cationic polymer and at least one anionic polymer, at least one cationic polymer and at least one amphoteric polymer, at least one anionic polymer and at least one amphoteric polymer, or at least one amphoteric polymer, and at least one non-polymeric acid having two or more pKa values or salt(s) thereof or at least one non-polymeric base having two or more pKb values or salt(s) thereof; and (b) water, wherein the anionic polymer is selected from hyaluronic acid and derivatives thereof, and the amphoteric polymer is selected from cationized hyaluronic acid and salts thereof. The composition according to the present invention is stable, and can have a variety of cosmetic functions. The stickiness of the composition according to the present invention can be reduced.

The present invention relates to a two-component cosmetic composition for wrinkle reduction. The two-component cosmetic composition for wrinkle reduction according to the present invention forms a coating having a sufficient strength to reduce a scrubbing phenomenon caused by external force and has a suitable viscosity as well as no cloudiness phenomena arising.

A method for processing a high pigment loaded cosmetic composition may provide a pre-dispersion phase, a grind phase, and a full extender phase. The method of processing the cosmetic composition may fully saturate and disperse solid particulates of at least 35% by weight of the cosmetic composition. The method for processing the cosmetic composition may provide a high color payoff in a single swipe or application. Further, the method for processing the cosmetic composition may reduce feathering and bleeding even with a high pigment load.

A novel composition is disclosed comprising the complex avobenzone-calix[8]-PO.sub.3H.sub.2. In another embodiment, the present invention is a sunscreen composition comprising the complex avobenzone-calix[8]-PO.sub.3H.sub.2 and a cosmetically acceptable carrier.

The invention relates to poly(oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate) microgels, to the process for preparing same and the uses thereof in various fields of application such as optics, electronics, pharmacy and cosmetics.

These microgels have the advantage of being monodisperse, pH-responsive and temperature-responsive. They can carry magnetic nanoparticles or biologically active molecules. These microgels may also form transparent films, which have novel optical and electromechanical properties.

Exemplary methods and systems can be provided for resurfacing of skin that include formation of a plurality of small holes, e.g., having widths greater than about 0.2 mm and less than about 0.7 mm or 0.5 mm, using a mechanical apparatus. Compressive and/or tensile forces can then be applied to the treated region of skin as the damage heals to facilitate hole closure, and provide enhanced and/or directional shrinkage of the treated skin area.

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.

To provide a dental composition wherein the acid buffering capacity can be attained and the acid resistance of the tooth substance can be improved while maintaining very high foul breath inhibition capacity. A dental composition including: ion sustained-release glass; and a carrier for supporting the ion sustained-release glass, wherein the ion sustained-release glass is fluoroaluminoborosilicate glass having a composition range of: 15% to 35% by mass SiO.sub.2; 15% to 30% by mass Al.sub.2O.sub.3; 5% to 20% by mass B.sub.2O.sub.3; 20% to 45% by mass SrO; 5% to 15% by mass F; and 0% to 10% by mass Na.sub.2O.

Compositions for application to skin of a subject comprising (a) an unsaturated organopolymer, (b) a hydride functionalized polysiloxane and (c) an environment-responsive agent that is capable of transporting out of the composition or facilitates out-transport of one or more beneficial agents from the composition after the composition is applied to a subject. Alternatively, the compositions comprise (a) a bifunctional organopolysiloxane polymer having one unsaturated group and one hydride and (b) the environment-responsive agent. The environment-responsive agent may be a volatile agent and the compositions can be used to create a thin film on the skin of a subject wherein the volatile agent is capable of transporting out of the film. In one embodiment, the volatile agent is transported out of the composition by convection. In one embodiment, the volatile agent is transported out of the composition by diffusion.
