Abstract: Nail products, methods and kits for enhancing nails are disclosed. A tacky substance is applied to a nail followed by a nonwoven substrate. The nonwoven substrate is removed from the nail leaving a fiber residue on the nail. A nail coating such as nail polish is applied to the nail over the fiber residue. If any gaps between fibers in the fiber residue remain after the nail coating is applied, a further nail coating may be applied. A top coat may then be applied to provide for a final finish on the nail.
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for treating keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair, comprising the application to the keratin fibres of a cosmetic composition comprising a pyridinedicarboxylic acid compound. The process makes it possible to obtain good cosmetic properties in terms of manageability of the hair and sheen, with a long-lasting effect.
Abstract: A sprayable zinc oxide composition is provided. The sprayable zinc oxide composition can be used in the treatment of various skin conditions. The sprayable zinc oxide composition includes zinc oxide particles and a fluoro-olefin propellant. The present inventors have found that by selecting a propellant having a certain specific gravity, vapor pressure, and molecular weight, and by controlling the viscosity of the various components of the composition, the resulting zinc oxide composition resists settling such that a substantially homogeneous distribution of zinc oxide particles is maintained and can be evenly sprayed onto a surface without running once applied.
