  • Patent number: 11596216
    Abstract: A hair treatment kit comprises a hair treatment composition selected from the group of semi-permanent oxidative and/or direct dye hair colorant compositions, hair bleaching compositions, highlighting compositions, and combinations thereof, a reservoir for holding the temporary hair treatment composition, and an applicator fluidly connected to the reservoir for selectively applying the hair treatment composition to a targeted area of hair. Methods of applying the hair treatment composition comprise selectively engaging the applicator with a targeted area of hair, leaving the hair treatment composition in the targeted area for a time period, washing the hair treatment composition out of the targeted area, closing the reservoir to preserve remaining hair treatment composition for later use, and reapplying the hair treatment composition to the targeted area.

  • Patent number: 10517367
    Abstract: A method of treating hair more precisely including providing a hair treatment composition in a foam dispenser, dispensing the hair treatment composition directly onto the hair as a foam, leaving the foam on the hair, and rinsing the foam from the hair. The foam dispenser includes a reservoir for holding the hair treatment composition, an extended nozzle connected to the reservoir, and one or more nozzle orifices. The one or more nozzle orifices has a total orifice area of from about 5 mm2 to about 80 mm2. The extended nozzle has a protrusion length of from about 20 mm to about 125 mm. The foam has a specific volume of from about 4 ml/g to about 20 ml/g.

  • Patent number: 9771199
    Abstract: A pet food composition comprising a supplement is provided. The supplement can comprise a Probiotic component, a cocoa butter component, and a sweetener component. A process for making the supplement can comprise providing a sweetener component, a cocoa butter component, and a Probiotic component, mixing the cocoa butter component and Probiotic component to form a mixture in a temperature and humidity controlled chamber; mixing the mixture with the sweetener component in the temperature and humidity controlled chamber to form a final mixture; optionally mixing in a colorant with the final mixture; and cooling the final mixture. A package for the supplement can comprise a secondary container housing a primary container, which houses a supplement. An array of packages is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20150007397
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of maintaining chemical reactivity of an oxidative hair colorant in an opened flexible sachet including a reclosure element. The quality of the re-closure will strongly influence how the hair colorant will perform when using it as intended. The method according to the present invention ensures maintaining chemical reactivity by improving the quality of the re-closure by intuitively inducing safe and tight re-closure by users of such hair colorant. This is achieved by providing the sachet to the user in a configuration already in its re-closure position, while the sachet has not been opened yet.
