Abstract:
A method for styling hair comprising: - applying to hair a hair treatment composition comprising from 4 to 25 wt% a citric or aconitic acid and having a pH of from 1 to 3; - leaving the product on the hair for from 5 to 90 minutes; - rinsing the product from the hair; and - styling.
Abstract:
An aqueous based oral care composition comprising a pigment having a hue angle, h, in the CIELAB system of from 220 to 320 degrees, and in which the composition at a temperature of 25°C has a yield stress (stress at which the shear rate is 0.1 1/s) from 0.05 to 1.0 Pa and a viscosity from 0.03 to 0.25 Pa.s (measured at a shear rate of 21 1/s).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a topical composition that provides enhanced skin health by way of providing anti-aging benefits that are evident from visibly reduced wrinkles and under-eye dark circles. This is achieved through use of a synergistic combination of folic acid and gallated catechin in a specific weight ratio range.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a pourable thixotropic detergent composition comprising a continuous phase and at least 0.3 wt. % of suspended particles comprising water-soluble surfactant, said continuous phase containing at least 10 wt. % of an aminocarboxylate chelant and at least 10 wt. % of water and said water-soluble surfactant being selected from aryl sulfonate surfactant, alkyl sulfate surfactant and combinations thereof. The pourable detergent composition offers the advantage that it does not exhibit significant demixing during storage.
Abstract:
Hair can be damaged in a number of ways including exposure to heat, bleaching, use of shampoos and styling products, brushing and combing, and exposure to the environment, for example ultra-violet light. Existing treatments designed to repair damaged hair make use of surface active materials that mask the problem rather than actually repairing the hair. These materials modify fibre feel by changing consumer perceivable fibre sensory cues such as smoothness, may change some measureable physical properties such as hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity, but do not change other physical characteristics such as fibre stiffness, strength or structural integrity. The invention relates to a method of preventing hair fibre damage using flavonoids, hydrogen peroxide and a peroxidase enzyme.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a porous composition comprising fat, salt and hydrocolloids. These compositions can be used as bouillon cubes, and have the advantage that they are strong, and still dissolve well. The hydrocolloid may act as thickener when preparing a bouillon.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a skin lightening composition for topical application. The present invention provides for a composition that comprises specific fraction of peel of Mangiferia indica comprising higher than a certain percentage of alkyl resorcinol and less than a certain percentage of urshiols for enabling the skin lightening action.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and a kit for providing brown colour to keratinous fibres while reducing the blueness generally obtained with such types of colouring methods. The invention relates to giving a high pH of 9 to 12 treatment to the hair after it has been treated with a specific metal-polyphenol complex.
Abstract:
A synergistic microbicidal composition containing synergistic combinations of a phenolic compound selected the class consisting of chlorinated phenols, monosubstituted phenols, fused bicyclic phenols, isopropyl methyl catechols and monosubstituted catechols and an antimicrobial alcohol selected from the class consisting of propen-2yl-methyl-cyclohexanols, menthadiene alcohols and substituted cyclohexyl propyl-1,3-diols.
Abstract:
An oral care composition is disclosed comprising calcium silicate hydrate comprising from 20 to 70% SiO2 by weight of the calcium silicate hydrate; and physiologically acceptable carrier comprising humectant, surfactant, thickener or a mixture thereof.
