The present application also relates to a process for preparing a dye composition comprising one or more colouring solid particles, to a process for the oxidation dyeing of keratin fibres, comprising the application of the composition obtained to said fibres, and to the use of this composition for dyeing keratin fibres.

The invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising a cationic associative polymer, a particular carboxylic anionic surfactant, optionally a nonionic surfactant and an amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactant. The invention also relates to a cosmetic process for treating keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair, comprising the application of said cosmetic composition. The invention also relates to the use of said cosmetic composition for conditioning keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair.

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 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.

The present invention provides a solid personal care product comprising: a core layer containing a cleansing or conditioning component; and a skin layer containing a water-soluble or water-dispersible polymer. A solid personal care product produced according to the present invention solves the disadvantage that existing conventional solid cleansing agents or conditioning agents in powder, soap, or other flake form have of the powder scattering, as well as the problem of the cleansing power, conditioning efficacy, and fragrance-preserving property of such agents degrading. Moreover, the contents of the cleansing or conditioning component does not rub off onto the hands of a user even when the user holds the contents in the user's hands, and the shape of the product according to the present invention does not change even in places of high humidity. In addition, this solid personal care product is easy to use, store, and package, while retaining the same functions as those of conventional liquid cleansing and conditioning personal care products.

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##

The present invention relates to a composition comprising arginine, at least one silicate, at least one alkanolamine, and optionally aqueous ammonia and/or at least one compound which generates aqueous ammonia. The composition further comprises at least one thickening agent chosen from non-associative cellulose polymers, anionic associative polymers, non-ionic associative polymers, and their mixtures. The invention also relates to a method for the treatment of keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres, such as the hair, comprising the application of at least one composition according to the invention; and also to the use of the composition according to the invention for the treatment of said keratin fibres, and in particular for the oxidation dyeing and/or the bleaching of the latter.

Aqueous mixtures can include cellulose nanocrystals and sulfonated polyester, where a glass transition temperature (T.sub.g) of the sulfonated polyester is greater than 25° C. In some instances, exemplary aqueous mixtures also include one or more additives, such as pigment. Exemplary aqueous mixtures can be applied as a film that is typically hydrophobic and resilient against water at room temperature. Upon application of warm water, such as at temperatures of from about 30° C. to about 60° C., the film can be removed with no or limited abrasion and/or with no or little removal oils.
