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.

A method and system for tattoo removal from a subject by exposing tattoo ink particles trapped within the dermis to a cold plasma is described herein. The tattoo removal method and system can be used to remove the tattoo from the skin of the subject being treated. In addition, the method and system described allows for the extraction of the tattoo ink particles, which may have toxic properties, from the subject's body.

Disclosed is a self-invertible inverse latex comprising an aqueous phase containing: a) a crosslinked anionic polyelectrolyte (P) including: —at least one first monomer unit derived from 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propenyl) amino] 1-propanesulfonic acid in the form of a free or partially or totally salified acid; —at least one second monomer unit derived from at least one monomer selected from the elements of the group consisting of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, 2-carboxyethyl acrylic acid, itaconic acid, maleic acid, 3-methyl 3-[(1-oxo-2-propenyl) amino] butanoic acid, the carboxylic function of said monomers being in the free, partially salified or totally salified acid form; and —at least one third monomer unit derived from a polyethylenic crosslinking monomer (AR); b) ethylenediamine disuccinic acid in the form of trisodium salt.
