An aerosol hairspray product with a spray device and a pressurizable container having a container wall which encloses a reservoir for storing a compressed gas propellant and a hairspray composition. The hairspray composition can be ethanol-based or ethanol-free. The spray properties of the product, including the spray rate and median droplet size, can be maintained throughout the lifetime of the container.

A hair fixative composition comprising a film forming polymer that is prepared from monomers comprising (a) 10-30% by weight of one or more copolymerizable comonomers selected from the group consisting of N-alkyl (meth)acrylamide wherein the alkyl group thereof contains from 2 to 12 carbon atoms, wherein for at least one of said copolymerizable comonomers the alkyl group contains from 5 to 12 carbon atoms; (b) 14-21% by weight of copolymerizable comonomers comprising acrylic acid and optionally one or more acidic copolymerizable comonomers selected from the group consisting of methacrylic acid, crotonic acid, itaconic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, and the (C.sub.1-C.sub.4)alkyl half esters of maleic and fumaric acids; and (c) 40-76% by weight two or more copolymerizable comonomers selected from the group consisting of (C.sub.1-C.sub.12)alkyl(meth)acrylates, wherein at least one of said two or more copolymerizable comonomers is a (C.sub.1-C.sub.2)alkyl(meth)acrylate; said film forming polymer being optionally completely or partially neutralized with a basic reagent.

The object of the present disclosure is a process for decolorizing keratinous material which has been colored by the application of at least one pigment, wherein a decolorizing agent which is (a) at least one salt of a monovalent or divalent cation, and (b) has a pH value of 1.0 to 4.7,
is applied to the dyed keratin material and rinsed off again after a contact time.

A device for applying a cosmetic composition to the lips and a method thereof, the device includes an applicator member with a partially flocked applicator head, a container containing the composition which is in the form of an emulsion of water; a film-forming agent chosen from vinyl polymers comprising at least one carbosiloxane dendrimer-based unit; a non-volatile hydrocarbon-based oil; and a non-volatile phenyl silicone oil.

An anhydrous topical composition provides a water repellent surface. The anhydrous topical composition has at least one film former with surface tension lower than 35 dynes/cm, at least one particle having a hydrophobic surface or a hydrophobic surface treatment, and a volatile topical carrier.

The present invention provides an anhydrous, sprayable sunscreen composition comprising one or more oil soluble UV filters and a combination of film formers comprising at least one copolymer of trimethylolpropane, adipic acid, neopentyl glycol and hexanediol and at least one acrylates/octylacrylamide copolymer having a molecular weight of at least 50 kDA measured using Dynamic Light Scattering.

The invention relates to poly(oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate) microgels, to the process for preparing same and the uses thereof in various fields of application such as optics, electronics, pharmacy and cosmetics.

These microgels have the advantage of being monodisperse, pH-responsive and temperature-responsive. They can carry magnetic nanoparticles or biologically active molecules. These microgels may also form transparent films, which have novel optical and electromechanical properties.

The present invention relates to personal care compositions comprising malodor reduction compositions and methods of making and using such personal care compositions. Such personal care compositions comprising the malodor control technologies disclosed herein provide malodor control without leaving an undesireable scent and when perfume is used to scent such compositions, such scent is not unduely altered by the malodor control technology.

Hair spray compositions comprising a liquid carrier, hollow, fluid-filled micropspheres, a polymer fixative, and propellant are provided.

An anhydrous topical composition provides a water repellent surface. The anhydrous topical composition has at least one film former with surface tension lower than 35 dynes/cm, at least one particle having a hydrophobic surface or a hydrophobic surface treatment, and a volatile topical carrier.
