Cosmetic compositions for combatting colour loss from a dyed material

A method of treating a material, the method comprising contacting the material with a composition comprising a hydroxy-substituted aldehyde. In preferred aspects of the invention the material is a keratinous material.

Methods, compositions and uses relating thereto

A method of treating a material, the method comprising the steps of: (1) contacting the material with a composition comprising an electrophilic species selected from aldehydes, succinimidyl esters, and mixtures thereof; (2) contacting the material with a composition comprising a chelating agent and/or a salt of an amine and/or a carboxylic acid.

A method of treating a material, the method comprising contacting the material with a composition comprising an alpha-substituted aldehyde.

A method of combating colour loss from a dyed material, the method comprising contacting the material with a composition comprising a hydroxy-substituted aldehyde.

Methods and compositions for combatting color loss

A method of combatting colour loss from a dyed material, the method comprising contacting the material with a composition comprising an amine salt of a carboxylic acid wherein the carboxylic acid has 4 to 10 carbon atoms.

Reducing colour loss from a dyed material by using an amine salt of a carboxylic acid

A method of combatting colour loss from a dyed material, the method comprising the steps of: (1) contacting the material with a composition comprising an electrophilic species selected from aldehydes, succinimidyl esters, and mixtures thereof; (2) contacting the material with a composition comprising a chelating agent and/or a salt of an amine and/or a carboxylic acid.

A method of combatting colour loss from a dyed material, the method comprising contacting the material with a composition comprising an alpha-substituted aldehyde.

A method of treating a material, the method comprising contacting the material with a composition comprising a hydroxy-substituted aldehyde.

A surfactant component comprising a compound of formula (I): (I) wherein Ris a Cto Calkyl or alkenyl group and Ris a group of formula (a) wherein one of W, X, Y and Z is a covalent bond and the remaining groups are independently selected from H, M, SOM and a further group of formula RCO provided at least one of W, X, Y and Z is SOM; and each M is independently a hydrogen ion, an ammonium ion or a metal ion. 

Detergent compositions

A compound of formula (I) wherein Ris a Cto Calkyl or alkenyl group and Ris (c) wherein A is an anion. 

An automatic dishwashing composition offering good performance especially in the removal of stubborn stains, such as tea stains, comprises a chelating agent selected from hydroxyethyliminodiacetic acid, glucoheptonic acid, hydroxyethylethylenediaminetriacetic acid, poly(acrylic acid-co-hypophosphite), and salts, complexes and mixtures thereof; wherein the composition is substantially free of phosphate containing builders and substantially free of bleaching compounds.

Automatic dishwashing composition

A process for the bleaching of wood pulp using one or more peroxide oxidising agents wherein the process includes treatment of the pulp with a mixture of chelating agents comprising: (a) a first chelating agent selected from the group consisting of: ethylenediamine N,N-disuccinic acid, methylglycinediacetic acid, glutamic acid N,N-diacetic acid, imino disuccinic acid and anions and mixtures thereof; and (b) a second chelating agent selected from the group consisting of: diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid, ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid, diethylenetriamine penta methylene phosphonic acid and anions and mixtures thereof.

Process for bleaching pulp

The invention teaches that hydrocarbon compositions may be improved in terms of their stability reserve and in terms of their combustion efficiency, by co-use of a conductivity improver. There is optionally present a combustion improver selected from an iron compound, a manganese compound, a calcium compound and a cerium compound; and/or an organic compound selected from a bicyclic monoterpene, a substituted bicyclic monoterpene, adamantane, a substituted or unsubstituted bicyclic tetraterpene, and propylene carbonate.

Hydrocarbon compositions

A salt of an acidic chelating agent including an amine functionality, the salt comprising at least 0.25 mole of an alkaline earth metal per mole of acidic protons provided by the chelating agent; wherein the acidic chelating agent is not ethylene diamine disuccinic acid.
