The invention is directed to a hydratable concentrated surfactant composition. The composition is pourable, easy to dilute, substantially free of sulfate and oil, comprises a C.sub.6-C.sub.14 acid, alcohol or both, an anionic surfactant comprising acyl isethionate and an amphoteric surfactant, zwitterionic surfactant or both. The composition is in lamellar phase and thickens and transforms to an isotropic phase upon dilution. The composition can be used as a concentrate in small volumes and diluted as used and needed or can be diluted with water in refill packaging to ensure a reduction in plastic waste.

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.

Provided are a composition for treating or preventing recurrence of keloid comprising tauroursodeoxycholic acid as an active ingredient, and a method for treating keloid or preventing recurrence of keloid using the composition.

A composition comprising at least one dispersed fatty phase, and at least one continuous aqueous phase, and comprising: a) at least one hydrophobic gelling agent selected from ester of dextrin and fatty acid; b) at least one amphiphilic crosslinked copolymer; c) at least one anionic terpolymer, linear or branched, of at least one monomer (1) carrying an acid function in free form, partially or totally salified by a nonionic monomer (2) selected from N,N-dimethylacrylamide and 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, and at least one monomer (3) polyoxethylenated alkyl acrylate of formula (III) wherein in formula (III): R1 represents a hydrogen atom, R represents a linear or branched C.sub.8-C.sub.16 alkyl radical, n is an integer ranging from 1 to 10; and d) at least one hydrophobic particles chosen from hydrophobic silicas, hydrophobic cellulose, starch, talc, silicone resin powders, hollow hemispherical silicone particles, polyamide powders, hydrophobic pigments, or a mixture thereof. ##STR00001##

Disclosed are acidic feminine intimate cleansing compositions having a pH in the range of from 3 to 5, which further necessarily comprises at least: as a primary antimicrobial active constituent, lactic acid, which may optionally be a substituted lactic acid and/or derivative thereof; and which composition further includes an anionic constituent system which boosts the antimicrobial efficacy of the primary lactic acid constituent present; and which compositions feature low irritation, and good antimicrobial efficacy against certain species of bacteria. Treatment processes using the feminine intimate cleansing composition in treatment of the groin area of human females, and vendible products containing the feminine intimate cleansing compositions are also disclosed.

The present invention relates to an isotropic concentrate composition that is easy to hydrate and transform into an end use wash composition. The end use wash composition resulting from the concentrate composition is suitable for topical application and for hand washing. The concentrate comprises fragrance oil and emulsifier at levels that unexpectedly result in a concentrate composition and end use composition that are free of ingredient precipitation that interferes with the appearance and usage of the compositions.

The present disclosure relates to compositions for altering the tone or color of the hair comprising at least one amino acid, at least one carboxylic acid, monoethanolamine, at least one oxidation base chosen from toluene-2,5-diamine, acid salts thereof, or solvates thereof, and a coupler system comprising one or more couplers chosen from 2,4-diaminophenoxyethanol, meta-aminophenol, derivatives thereof, addition salts thereof, solvates thereof, solvates of salts thereof, or mixtures thereof. The disclosure also relates to methods of using the compositions and kits comprising the compositions.

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.

Described herein is a shampoo composition and methods of using the same, the shampoo composition including a Class I and/or Class II chelant, a detersive surfactant, and a carrier.

A hair care composition that removes calcium fatty carboxylate salts from the hair and scalp is provided. The hair care composition includes a calcium chelant, an anionic surfactant, a hydrotrope, a carrier, and optionally a zwitterionic surfactant.
