Abstract:
An apparatus is provided for dispensing cosmetic material. The apparatus includes a dispensing assembly configured to receive at least one cartridge that contains a cosmetic material and to dispense a specified amount of the cosmetic material from the cartridge into a receiving area; a memory configured to receive and store dispensing information which includes the specified amount of the cosmetic material to be dispensed for each cartridge disposed in the dispensing assembly to achieve a specified single use of a cosmetic application; and circuitry configured to obtain the dispensing information from the memory and to control the dispensing assembly to dispense the cosmetic material from each cartridge disposed in the dispensing assembly into the receiving area according to the one or more specified amounts included in the dispensing information.
Abstract:
The subject of the present invention is a process for the oxidation dyeing of keratin fibers, in particular human keratin fibers such as the hair, implementing: a) a step of treating said fibers by application to said fibers of a cosmetic composition (A) comprising: i) at least one fatty substance in an amount of greater than 10% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition (A), at least one metal catalyst; ii) at least one coupler; iii) optionally at least one oxidation base, preferably chosen from para-phenylenediamines, bis(phenyl)alkylenediamines, para-aminophenols, ortho-aminophenols, heterocyclic bases, addition salts thereof and solvates thereof; b) optionally a washing, rinsing, drying and/or rubbing-dry step; c) a step of treatment by application to said fibers of an oxidizing cosmetic composition (B) comprising at least one chemical oxidizing agent; and it being understood that steps a), b) and c) can be carried out successively a), then b), then c), or else a) then c), followed by b). The dyeing process makes it possible to significantly improve the dyeing properties of the coloration, in particular in terms of selectivity, of chromaticity, and of color intensity and uptake. The use of a composition which is rich in fatty substances, i.e. greater than 10%, and contains at least one catalyst, as a pretreatment, before oxidation dyeing, allows a clear improvement in the dyeing properties, in particular in terms of dye uptake onto keratin fibers, of strength and of chromaticity and of selectivity of the color.
Abstract:
A system is provided for selecting and dispensing a cosmetic material. The system includes a dispensing apparatus configured to hold a plurality of cartridges each having a different cosmetic material and to dispense at least one cosmetic material from at least one of the cartridges; a user interface configured to receive a selection of a color from a user; and circuitry configured to receive the selection of the color received at the user interface, determine an amount of each of one or more cosmetic materials to form the selected color, transmit the determined amount of each of the one or more cosmetic materials to the dispensing apparatus, and control the dispensing apparatus to dispense the determined amount of each of the one or more cosmetic materials from the plurality of cartridges.
Abstract:
Process for making up an area of human keratin materials using a makeup device having a transfer surface and a coat of at least one cosmetic colouring ink borne by the transfer surface and obtained by printing using at least one digital printer, the colouring ink being intended to be applied to the keratin materials. The process includes the following steps: forming a base coating by applying at least one cosmetic composition comprising an oil onto the area of the keratin materials to be made up, and producing a pattern on the area of the keratin materials by placing the coat of cosmetic ink in contact with the base coating present on the area to be made up so as to transfer the coat of cosmetic ink onto the keratin materials.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a hair styling composition and methods of using the composition, wherein the composition comprises: (a) an aqueous dispersion containing: (i) at least one solid wax particle having a particle size ranging from equal to or greater than 1 micron to about 100 microns and comprising at least one wax having a melting point of greater than 35° C.; (ii) a surfactant mixture comprising at least one nonionic surfactant and at least one ionic surfactant; and (iii) water; and (b) at least one cosmetically acceptable carrier.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for dyeing keratin fibers, in particular human keratin fibers such as the hair, comprising the use of one or more metal catalysts chosen from transition metal salts and rare-earth metal salts, and mixtures thereof and a composition (I) comprising at least 10% by weight of one or more fatty substances different from fatty acids, one or more oxidation dyes and one or more oxidizing agents.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a dyeing composition comprising a fluorescent disulphide dye and to a method of dyeing keratin materials, with a lightening effect, that employs said composition. It likewise relates to new fluorescent disulphide dyes and to their uses in the lightening of keratin materials. This composition allows a particularly persistent lightening effect to be obtained.
