It is an objective of the present disclosure to provide a method for coloring keratinous material, in particular human hair, comprising the following steps: Application of an agent (v) to the keratinous material, the agent (v) comprising: (v1) at least one anionic surfactant, Application of 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 Application of an agent (b) to the keratinous material, wherein the agent (b) comprises: (b1) at least one sealing reagent, wherein at least one of the agents (a) and (b) further comprises at least one colorant compound selected from the group of pigments and/or direct dyes.

The present invention relates to a multiple-compartment device (1) composed of a closed envelop (2) divided in at least two distinct compartments (7a) and (7b) separated from one another by at least one internal frangible seal (8), wherein one of the compartments (7a) containing a composition (A), comprising one oxidation dye precursor, one anionic surfactant, one amphoteric surfactant chosen from betaine; and another one of the compartments (7b) containing an oxidizing composition (B) comprising at least one oxidizing agent.

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 pilling-resistant cosmetic composition is in the form of an oil in water emulsion that includes a water phase and an oily phase, and includes at least one cosmetically acceptable polymeric thickener selected from the group consisting of crosspolymers, gums, taurate based polymers, carbomers, polyacrylates, and combinations thereof, at least one ethoxylated agent in liquid form at ambient temperature in a range from about 20° C. to about 28° C. and has an HLB from about 8.5 to about 16; and at least one oil. The pilling-resistant cosmetic composition resists pilling when applied by rubbing or smoothing on a keratinous substrate.

The invention provides an antimicrobial personal cleansing composition comprising: (i) an aqueous continuous phase including one or more anionic cleansing surfactants; (ii) a dispersed phase including dispersed particles of zinc pyrithione (ZPT); (iii) a structuring polymer for the aqueous continuous phase which is selected from crosslinked alkali-swellable acrylic emulsion (ASE) polymers; and (iv) from 3 to 20 wt % niacinamide based on the total weight of the composition, wherein the structuring polymer is selected from crosslinked copolymers of (meth)acrylic acid with one or more C1 to C5 alkyl esters of (meth)acrylic acid.

The present application relates to a composition comprising, notably in a physiologically acceptable medium: a. water; and b. at least one cationic polymer (PC) chosen from methyldiallylamine polymers or diallyldimethylammonium polymers; and c. at least one anionic polymer (PA) chosen from methacrylic acid homopolymer salts; and d. at least one anionic surfactant comprising at least one cationic counterion; and e. a fatty phase; and f. at least one pigment; the weight ratio of the total amount of cationic polymer(s)/the sum of the total amount of cationic polymer(s) and of the total amount of anionic polymer(s) ranging from 40% to 70%; the weight ratio of the sum of the total amount of cationic polymer(s) and of the total amount of anionic polymer(s) to the sum of the total amount of anionic and cationic polymers and of the amount of water ranging from 5% to 25%. The invention also relates to a process for coating keratin materials, in particular the skin, notably the contour of the eyes, eyelashes or eyebrows, and keratin fibers, such as the eyelashes and/or the eyebrows, comprising a step of applying to said keratin materials at least one composition as defined above.
