The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition including an organic effect pigment. The organic effect pigment includes cellulose nanocrystal flakes which have an average size in the range of from 10 to 6500 micrometers.

Provided is a makeup cosmetic having bright fluorescent colouring whilst still having excellent transparency (being clear), and a cosmetic colouring material that is suitable for the cosmetic. The makeup cosmetic comprises (A) at least one kind of oil-soluble dye selected from the group consisting of red no. 218, red no. 223 and orange no. 201, (B) particles of a specific material selected from hydroxyapatite, calcium carbonate, a metal oxide (other than ferric oxide) and silica, and (C) oil, wherein the blending amount of pigment is not greater than 0.5 mass %, and the blending amount of water is less than 1.5 mass %. The makeup cosmetic, achieves high luminance fluorescent colouring whilst also having excellent transparency, and can be used as a lip cosmetic, blusher or eye shadow.

A solid cosmetic composition including 12 to 50% by weight of a non-volatile liquid fatty phase and 40 to 85% by weight of a pulverulent phase including spherical fillers that are surface-treated with a metallic soap. Also, a process for preparing such a solid cosmetic composition and a method for making up the skin or lips using such a solid cosmetic composition.

A process and a kit-of-parts for dyeing keratinous material are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a process for dyeing keratinous material includes applying an agent (a) to the keratinous material, wherein the agent (a) comprises at least one organic silicon compound. The process further includes applying an agent (b) to the keratinous material, wherein the agent (b) comprises (b1) at least one colorant compound comprising at least one pigment based on a lamellar substrate platelet, and (b2) at least one film-forming polymer.

The subject of the present disclosure is a process for dyeing keratinous material, in particular human hair, comprising the following steps: applying an agent (a) to the keratinous material, wherein the agent (a) comprises: (a1) at least one organic silicon compound selected from the group of silanes having one, two or three silicon atoms, and

(a2) at least one coloring compound comprising at least one effect pigment comprising α) a substrate platelet and β) a coating, wherein the coating comprises at least one layer that has been wet-chemically prepared using a metal alkoxide and an organosilicon compound having a basic group; and applying an agent (b) to the keratinous material, wherein the agent (b) comprises: (b1) at least one sealing reagent.

Described herein are water-dissolvable films having a non-fibrous body comprising: a quarternary salt; a polymer; and a fragrance. Methods of making and using the water-dissolvable films are also described.

A method for increasing the specific surface area of titanium phosphate plate-shaped particles of this invention includes: obtaining a liquid in a state where a powder containing titanium phosphate plate-shaped particles is dispersed in an aqueous alkaline solution.

The present invention relates to a water-releasing stick-type cosmetic and, specifically, to a water-releasing stick-type cosmetic containing: an oily portion; and a water-releasing ingredient that is spread out in the oily portion, wherein the water-releasing ingredient has water particles encompassed by a plurality of plate-shaped materials to which emulsifiers are bound. According to the present invention, provided is a water-releasing stick-type cosmetic, which can provide a moist and cool feeling by directly supplying a large quantity of water, has excellent dosage form stability by having a hardness suitable for stick cosmetics, and simultaneously has excellent application texture, excellent storage stability and excellent color tone.

Disclosed is a composite for forming a coacervate interfacial film. The composite for forming the coacervate interfacial film contains a cationic hectorite nanoplate-shaped particle structure containing a hectorite nanoplate-shaped particle and a cationic surfactant coupled to a surface of the hectorite nanoplate-shaped particle, and an anionic cellulose nanofibril containing an anionic functional group in at least a portion thereof, in which the composite may form the coacervate interfacial film at an interface of an oil phase and a water phase through electrostatic interaction between the cationic surfactant and the anionic functional group.

Shampoo compositions having an anionic surfactant, cationic deposition polymer, sheet-like microcapsules and an aqueous carrier. The shampoo composition delivers both good in use benefits, while maintaining a consumer desirable appearance. The sheet-like microcapsules can also contain perfumes, extracts, dyes, colorants, and/or benefit agents.
