A method for mapping sweat production from the human skin, said method comprising the application of a polydiacetylene (PDA) prepared from a derivative of a conjugated diynoic acid having at least 18 carbon atoms, wherein the PDA changes colour when exposed to sweat, but does not change colour when exposed to pure water.

Sweat mapping method

The present invention relates to a method of capturing and stabilising volatile thiol malodour generated on the human skin, comprising steps of: i) contacting the human skin with a substrate, ii) absorbing said thiol into the substrate, and iii) reacting said thiol with a thiol-capture agent. The invention also relates to a method of quantifying said thiol, a method of assessing the deodorizing performance of a cosmetic composition on the human skin.

Method of capturing and stabilising thiols

The invention provides a method for improving the volume of hair which comprises the following steps: (i) treating the hair by topical application of a composition comprising from 1 to 25 wt % of one or more glucosamine salts; (ii) shaping the treated hair; (iii) allowing the composition to remain in contact with the shaped hair before drying. Advantageously the method of the invention does not require the breakage of the hair disulfide bonds, does not require the use of high temperature heated implements such as straightening irons, and can be accomplished by a consumer without intervention of a professional hairdresser.

Method of improving hair volume

The invention provides a method of shaping hair comprising the following sequential steps: (i) treating the hair by topical application of a hair treatment composition comprising from 2 to 25 wt % of one or more Cmonoaldehydes, and (ii) mechanically shaping the treated hair.

Method of shaping hair

The invention provides a hair shaping composition suitable for topical application to hair, the composition comprising from 1 to 25 wt % monoglucosamine adipate, dissolved or dispersed in an aqueous carrier. The invention also provides a method for improving hair volume-down which comprises the following steps: (i) treating the hair by topical application of the hair shaping composition as defined above; (ii) shaping the treated hair; (iii) allowing the composition to remain in contact with the shaped hair before drying. Advantageously the method of the invention does not require the breakage of the hair disulfide bonds, does not require the use of high temperature heated implements such as straightening irons, and can be accomplished by a consumer without intervention of a professional hairdresser.

Hair shaping composition

Cleaning composition, which is a dry shampoo, comprising a base and propellant, wherein the base comprises sebum absorber which comprises magnetic particles, wherein the magnetic particles have a particle size in the range of from 4 nm to 50 nm, and wherein the magnetic particles are coated with a stabilizing dispersing agent, and wherein the magnetic particles are dispersed in a liquid carrier.

Dry shampoo composition

The invention relates to active eutectic mixtures of butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, isopropyl myristate and optionally 12-hydroxystearic acid, personal care products comprising such active eutectic mixtures, a method for preparing such personal care compositions and a method of applying to human skin such personal care compositions.

Eutectic mixtures in personal care compositions

Non-solid skin conditioning compositions comprising 12-hydroxy stearic acid, aminosilicone and water are disclosed. The compositions have a relatively low viscosity and are suitable for spreading on the skin.

Skin conditioning compositions containing 12-hydroxystearic acid

A kit for cleansing hair comprising: &#x2022; a) a dry shampoo, in which the dry shampoo comprises a particulate material, preferably aluminum octenyl succinate starch or rice starch, preferably in the form of an aerosol; and &#x2022; b) a substrate, preferably a flexible sheet comprising a non-woven material, preferably comprising cellulose fiber or polyester fiber and mixtures thereof, the substrate comprising a surfactant selected from the group consisting of nonionic, anionic, amphoteric and mixtures thereof.

Hair cleaning kit

A personal care composition comprising a eutectic mixture, the eutectic mixture comprising a tertiary system, in which menthol may form part of the eutectic mixture or in the eutectic mixture comprises an antidandruff agent such as ketoconazole.

Personal care composition

A method of treating hair comprising the step of applying to dry towel dried hair a hair care product comprising a non-surfactant esterified sugar which is non-crystalline at 20&#xb0; C.

Hair care method

The invention provides a hair treatment composition comprising a hair substantive polymer, the hair substantive polymer comprising a polymeric backbone bearing: (a) at least one side chain which is formed from a hair fiber targeting group which is covalently linked to the polymeric backbone, the hair fiber targeting group being a non-cationic species which is capable of specifically interacting with the protein surface of the hair fiber in a non-covalent interaction having a bond energy ranging from 0.5 to 3 Kcal/mol, when the composition is applied to hair; (b) preferably, at least one side chain which is different to side chain (a) and which comprises a hair benefit agent. Compositions of the invention provide for deposition and delivery of benefit agents to hair in a more efficient and targeted manner.

Hair treatment compositions incorporating hair substantive polymers

A personal care composition comprising a eutectic mixture, the eutectic mixture comprising a CB receptor activating agent, in which the CB receptor is preferably palmitoylethanolamide. A method of mitigating scalp itch.

A method of treating hair comprising the step of applying to the hair a composition comprising a hydrophobically functionalized polyhydric dendritic macromolecule built up from polyester or polyether units or mixtures thereof. The method has been found to be useful in providing hair that is well aligned.

Hair care compositions comprising a dendritic polymer

The invention provides a hair treatment composition comprising a combination of a sugar, an aliphatic amino acid and a basic amino acid. The composition is particularly suitable for the treatment of hair which is dry, damaged and/or prone to manageability problems.
