Abstract: The disclosure relates to compositions and methods of using the compositions to treat keratinous substrates. The compositions provide a water resistant and non-transferable protective barrier on the substrate. For example, the compositions provide hair with improved shine, condition, manageability and color. The compositions contain at least one polyamide, at least one monoacid, at least one water-insoluble ingredient, solvent and optionally at least one auxiliary ingredient. The methods for treating keratinous substrates involve contacting the keratinous substrates with the compositions of the disclosure.

Abstract: Cosmetic compositions for caring for and/or making up the human body comprising fluidized-particles are disclosed. Fluidized-particles have a solid core that is modified to exhibit liquid-like properties in the absence of solvent. In particular, the disclosure relates to the use of fluidized-particles in lipsticks, eyeliners, face and body creams, eye shadows, foundations, sun-protection products, deodorants, and shampoos, hair styling and leave-in hair treatments such as gels, mousses, sprays, conditioners, all of which may be in the form of an aqueous gel, lotion, or cream, or cast as a stick or as a disk.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to cosmetic compositions containing functionalized metal-oxides layered pigments. The disclosure also relates to the use of the functionalized metal-oxide layered pigments in cosmetics such as hair, eyes, lips, skin and nail compositions. The metal-oxide layered pigments are functionalized with ligands which provide improved properties to the pigments in the cosmetics.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to cosmetic hair compositions containing metal-oxide layered pigments. The disclosure also relates to the use of the metal-oxide layered pigments in cosmetic hair compositions.

Abstract: Film-forming and cosmetic compositions containing a combination of certain polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) and non-POSS silicone resins are described, the combination providing improved wear and/or pliability properties over previous silicone resin containing compositions. Typically, the advantageous combinations will be formulated in a cosmetic composition that contains at least one solvent, and, preferably, a colorant, such as a pigment. Other cosmetic ingredients known to those of skill in the art can also be combined therewith, depending on the desired product, such as a foundation, mascara, lip coating (lip stick, lip gloss, lip pencil and the like), nail coating and the like. Methods of making cosmetic compositions including combinations of a POSS and non-POSS silicone resin providing the advantageous properties are also described.

Abstract: Disclosed are cosmetic compositions containing a metal, a polymer having a non-functional domain and a functional domain having a plurality of functional groups that interact with the metal, and a cosmetically acceptable carrier. Also disclosed are methods and systems for applying the composition to keratinous substrates, whereby aggregates of the metal are formed or deposited on the substrate.
