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.

Inorganic sunscreen active agents in cosmetic compositions and methods are provided and feature micronized metal oxide inorganic particles selected from the group consisting of zinc oxide, titanium oxide, cerium oxide and mixtures thereof, the inorganic particles being coated with: (i) a poly[C8-C20 hydroxycarboxylic acid], the coated particles measured at a 10% loading in dodecane and at 1 minute elapsed time having a Zeta Potential ranging from 2 to 10 mv, particularly from 2 to 5 mv, amounts of the poly[C8-C20 hydroxycarboxylic acid] to the inorganic particles being in a relative weight ratio of 1:100 to 1:10; or alternatively (ii) an adduct of a hydroxy cinnamate and a silanol, amounts of the adduct to the inorganic particles being in a relative weight ratio of 1:200 to 1:4; or alternatively (iii) mixtures of (i) and (ii).

A method for strengthening and repairing keratin fibres including providing a first—and a second crosslinking composition, wherein the first—crosslinking composition comprises an at least bi-functional Brønsted-base and the second—crosslinking composition comprises—an at least bi-functional organic acid, and a cosmetically acceptable carrier; applying the first—as well as the second—crosslinking composition to keratin fibres; and optionally mixing the first—crosslinking composition into a commercially available hair coloring or hair bleaching 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.

Cosmetic compositions including about 0.1 to about 3 wt. % of a cationic surfactant grafted halloysite compound; about 0.5 to about 10 wt. % of a nonionic surfactant, a cationic surfactant, or a mixture thereof; and water, wherein all weight percentages are based on the total weight of the cosmetic composition. Methods of making and using the cosmetic compositions are also disclosed.

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.

An aerosol antiperspirant or deodorant product with a dispenser with a dispenser container filled with nitrogen gas and a reservoir filled with antiperspirant or deodorant composition. The composition is dispensed without substantial clogging in the valve assembly or changes to the mass flow rate and/or average particle size distribution.

A cosmetic composition including the following components (A) to (C), (A) a silicone film-forming agent, (B) a high-molecular-weight organopolysiloxane, (C) an organopolysiloxane having a polyalkylene oxide moiety and a cationic group, other than the component (A) and the component (B). The cosmetic composition is a hair dye composition or a hair cosmetic composition.

A cosmetic composition including a solvent A, a solvent B, a polymer C and a colorant. The solvent A is at least one selected from the group consisting of ethanol, n-propanol and isopropanol. A boiling point of the solvent B is 150° C. or higher. The solvent B is compatible with the solvent A, and the polymer C is soluble in the solvent A and insoluble in the solvent B. A content of the solvent B is 5% by mass or more and 40% by mass or less, and a ratio by mass of a content of the solvent A to a content of the solvent B [solvent A/solvent B] in the cosmetic composition is 1 or more and 15 or less.

An opaque antiperspirant composition, including an antiperspirant active, a high HLB surfactant, an emollient, and a gelling agent, wherein the high HLB surfactant includes a high HLB glyceryl monostearate mixture.
