Abstract: The present invention provides a method for stimulating hair growth, which comprises applying a composition containing a combination of a creatine compound and carnitine. The composition may further comprise 5?-AMP and NADH. Such a composition is effective in stimulating cell proliferation in the hair bulb of hair plugs.

Abstract: A skin care composition comprising at least one keratinocyte CLOCK or PER1 gene activator and at least one DNA repair enzyme; a method for inhibiting damage to human keratinocytes due to environmental aggressors by applying a composition comprising at least one keratinocyte CLOCK or PER1 gene activator and at least one DNA repair enzyme; and a method for repairing DNA damage in human keratinocytes.

Abstract: Resveratrol ferulate compounds and compositions.

Abstract: An anhydrous powder composition wherein the ratio of platelet to non-platelet particulates is greater than about 5 to 1 respectively, which is preferably talc-free, oil-free, paraben-free, and fragrance-free; and a method for preparing the powder composition of the invention.

Abstract: A method for improving the dimensionality and fade resistance of oxidatively colored or lightened hair, a method for oxidatively coloring or lightening hair, a kit for use in practicing the method, and the related compositions.

Abstract: A method for oxidatively coloring hair comprising applying to the hair fibers a first composition comprising at least one oxidative dye operable to color hair when reacted with an oxidizing agent, said first composition being free of such oxidizing agent and thereby inoperative, by itself, to color hair; removing said first composition from the hair but leaving residual oxidative dye in contact with the hair fibers; applying, for a time, and in an amount sufficient to color the hair, a second composition to the hair fibers comprising at least one oxidizing agent reactive with the at least one oxidative dye in contact with the hair fibers after removal of the first composition; and a kit for use in practicing the method.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition having improved transfer resistance comprising: a) from about 0.1–60% by weight of trimethylated silica, b) from about 0.1–60% by weight of a volatile solvent having a viscosity of 0.5 to 100 centipoise at 25° C., c) 0.1–60% by weight of a nonvolatile oil having a viscosity of 200 to 1,000,000 centipoise at 25° C. d) 0.1–80% of a cosmetically acceptable carrier.

Abstract: A hair color composition comprising, in a polar solvent, association structures having contained therein at least one water soluble or water dispersible dye that is operable to impart color to the hair when contacted therewith and a method for coloring hair.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition comprising Rooibus tea extract in combination with at least one protective agent which is a daytime protective agent, a night time protective agent, or mixtures thereof and methods for exfoliating skin and treating menopausal or peri-menopausal skin.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition having improved transfer resistance comprising: a) from about 0.1–60% by weight of trimethylated silica, b) from about 0.1–60% by weight of a volatile solvent having a viscosity of 0.5 to 100 centipoise at 25° C., c) 0.1–60% by weight of a nonvolatile oil having a viscosity of 200 to 1,000,000 centipoise at 25° C. d) 0.1–80% of a cosmetically acceptable carrier.

Abstract: An emulsion hair bleach composition prepared by combining an aqueous oxidizing agent composition, a persulfate composition, and, optionally, a bleach oil composition, in amounts sufficient to provide a mixture containing an active oxygen concentration of about 3 to 5% by weight of the total mixture, a total alkalinity concentration of about 0.7–1.2 meq/gm., and 0.5–20% by weight of the total mixture of an oil having a solubility parameter of 5–12 (cal/cm3)1/2; an emulsion hair bleach composition capable of lightening hair in 10 to 30 minutes, and a kit for use in bleaching hair.
