A process for straightening or relaxing hair involving the steps of: (a) providing a hair straightening/relaxing composition containing: (i) from about 0.1 to about 50% by weight of at least one non-hydroxide base; (ii) from about greater than 0% to about 50% of at least one protein denaturant; and (iii) remainder, to 100%, a cosmetically acceptable medium, all weights based on the weight of the hair straightening/relaxing composition; (b) contacting the hair with the hair straightening/relaxing composition to form treated hair; (c) optionally, rinsing the hair straightening/relaxing composition from the treated hair; (d) optionally, contacting the treated hair with a non-volatile oil; and (e) smoothing the treated hair using a combination of heat and means for physically smoothing hair.

Use of a composition and process involving the use of a non-hydroxide base and a protein denaturant with heat for relaxing or straightening hair

Dry powder foundation formulations that include a sustained-release salicylic acid composition, an effective, buffering amount of one or more salicylate ions, and one or more of zinc and titanium oxides, and pigments or colorants, are disclosed. The formulations provide both acne treatment and prevention, and sunblock protection. The formulation can also include other sunblocking or sunscreen agents to prevent photoaging and sunburn, such as avobenzone, and 3-benzophenone, and other cosmetically-acceptable active agents and excipients.

Acne treatment powder foundation

A process for inhibiting dyed hair fibers from losing their color during shampooing involving contacting the dyed hair fibers with a composition containing: (a) at least one polyamine compound having at least two amino groups; (b) at least one anionic silicone; and (c) optionally, at least one surfactant, and wherein (a) is present in the composition in an amount sufficient to inhibit the dyed hair fibers from losing their color during shampooing.

Process for inhibiting dyed hair fibers from losing their color during shampooing

The present invention is drawn to a carrier composition containing: (a) at least one polyamine compound comprising at least two amino groups; (b) at least one nonionic surfactant; (c) at least one anionic silicone; and (d) at least one water-insoluble material, and wherein the composition, when combined with an aqueous phase, forms an aqueous delivery system which is both stable, and clear to slightly hazy/limpid in appearance.

Aqueous polyamine-containing carrier systems for water-insoluble materials

The present invention is drawn to a carrier composition containing: (a) at least one fatty monoamine compound; (b) at least one nonionic surfactant; (c) at least one anionic silicone; and (d) at least one water-insoluble material, and wherein the composition, when combined with an aqueous phase, forms an aqueous delivery system which is both stable, and clear to slightly hazy/limpid in appearance.

Aqueous fatty monoamine-containing carrier systems for water -insoluble materials

The present invention is drawn to a carrier composition containing: (a) at least one fatty quaternary amine compound; (b) at least one nonionic surfactant; (c) at least one anionic silicone; and (d) at least one water-insoluble material, and wherein the composition, when combined with an aqueous phase, forms an aqueous delivery system which is both stable, and clear to slightly hazy/limpid in appearance.

Aqueous fatty quaternary amine-containing carrier systems for water-insoluble materials

A composition used for relaxing/straightening hair containing: (a) at least one hydroxide generator in an amount sufficient to relax/straighten keratin fibers; (b) at least one bioactive glass component; and (c) optionally, at least one complexing agent.

Hair relaxer compositions utilizing bioactive glass

A process for inhibiting hair fibers from becoming frizzy, involving contacting the hair fibers with a composition containing: (a) at least one polyamine compound having at least two amino groups; (b) at least one anionic silicone; (c) optionally, at least one surfactant; and (d) optionally, at least one film-forming polymer, and wherein (a) is present in the composition in an amount sufficient to inhibit dyed hair fibers from losing their color, as well as inhibit hair fibers, in general, from appearing frizzy.

Process for inhibiting hair from becoming frizzy using a polyethyleneimine/anionic silicone mixture

A composition, kit and process for dyeing hair fibers in a manner which inhibits color loss during subsequent shampooing involving contacting the hair fibers with a composition containing: (a) at least one polyamine having at least two amino groups; (b) at least one anionic silicone; and (c) at least one dye component chosen from a direct dye and an oxidation dye, and wherein the dyed hair fibers inhibit color loss resulting from subsequent shampooing of the dyed hair fibers.
