Abstract:
The invention relates to a high SPF sunscreen composition. There exists a need for a personal care composition comprising sunscreen agents in low concentrations that are able to provide much higher SPF as compared to known sunscreen compositions comprising such low levels of sunscreen agents. The present applicants have been working on solving this problem and have surprisingly found that cosmetic compositions comprising dibenzoylmethane or its derivative in combination with an oil soluble UV-B sunscreen when incorporated in a sunscreen composition along with a non-ionic surfactant of a select class meeting certain HLB requirements, provide the enhanced SPF benefits when applied on the substrate of interest.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to photostable sunscreen compositions comprising sunscreens, more particularly to a liquid composition in emulsion or microemulsion format comprising dibenzoylmethane sunscreens. An object of the present invention is to provide photostable compositions comprising dibenzoylmethane sunscreens, wherein the stabilization is brought about by using readily available and inexpensive ingredients. The present inventors have surprisingly found that cosmetic compositions comprising dibenzoylmethane or its derivative can be stabilized in a specific liquid emulsion or microemulsion formulation having specified ingredients in selective amounts.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a high SPF/UVAPF sunscreen composition. It is an object of the present invention to provide a high SPF (equal to or greater than 15) or high UVAPF (equal to or higher than 4) photo-protective sunscreen composition without compromising on the desired skin sensorial properties while using relatively low amounts of sunscreen agents thereby keeping costs low.

Abstract:
A method of colouring keratinous fibers comprising contacting the keratinous fibers sequentially with a pre-treatment composition and a colour developer wherein : i. the pre-treatment composition comprises: (a) 0.5-25% by weight of an iron salt at a pH below 2 including 0.5-5% by weight of a reducing agent (b) a buffer effective in the pH range 3-6 and (c) a penetration enhancer comprising one or more solvents having Hansen solubility parameter δh between 1-10 (MPa) 1/2 and δp between 10-25 (MPa) 1/2 wherein the component (b) is mixed with (a) or (c) not more than 360 minutes prior to contacting the keratinous fibers and ii. the colour developer is selected from one or more of hydrolysable tannin or its breakdown products or derivatives or a mixture thereof obtained from a natural or synthetic source, where the sequence of contact is in any order.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a sunscreen composition. Known compositions do not provide enhanced SPF while using low amounts of organic sunscreens. It is thus an object of the present invention to provide high SPF photo-protective sunscreen compositions using relatively low amounts of sunscreen agents thereby keeping costs low.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a shaped solid cleaning composition, especially in bar format, which utilises the detergency properties of new materials which are more efficient, relatively inexpensive and are environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional soaps or synthetic surfactants. The present invention provides for a shaped solid cleaning composition which comprises a specific amount of structuring agent and a specific amount of a treated particle. The precursor of the treated particle is an asymmetric 1:1 or 2:1: clay particle having alternating tetrahedral and octahedral sheets terminating with a tetrahedral sheet at a first external surface plane and an octahedral sheet at a second external surface plane. Either or both of said external surfaces is attached with a fatty acid or derivative thereof.
Abstract:
A process for removing a stain from a fabric comprising a step of passing an electric current of from 0.01 A to 10A using a voltage/current source across at least two elctrodes (3, 4) through an aqueous solution of a substance capable of generating an oxidative or reductive bleaching species, whilst keeping the stained area (7) fo the fabric in contact with the aqueous solution and positioned at a distance not greater than 3 cm from one of the electrodes.
Abstract:
A device is provided to clean an object by positioning the surface of the object to be cleaned in contact with a cleaning medium comprising one or more liquids having a dielectric constant of from 1 to 200 and placed in an electric field in the range of from 103 V/m to 107 V/m wherein said device is capable of generating said electric field using an alternating voltage/ current source, said device comprising at least two electrodes where one of the electrodes is at a higher potential than the other and said electrodes are spatially separated by a distance of 1 micron to 2 cm by an insulating material having a dielectric breakdown strength greater than the applied electric field.
