Abstract: This invention relates to a method to facilitate the removal of adherent polymeric films from a hard surface occasioned by the evaporation of solvent from compositions containing an anionic amphiphilic polymer, the method comprising incorporating a phosphate ester surfactant into the compositions, and washing the film from the surface to which it adheres.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method to facilitate the removal of adherent polymeric films from a hard surface occasioned by the evaporation of solvent from compositions containing an anionic acrylates copolymer, the method comprising incorporating a phosphate ester surfactant into the compositions, and washing the film from the surface to which it adheres.

Abstract: The present invention describes a two-part oxidative hair dye composition which comprises in one or both component parts at least one polyether polyurethane in combination with at least one cationic conditioning agent. The two component parts of the composition comprise a dye component composition, which includes primary intermediates and couplers, and a developing component composition, which includes an oxidizing agent, such as hydrogen peroxide. It has surprisingly been found by the present inventors that nonionic polyether polyurethane polymers and cationic conditioning agents contained in the oxidative hair dye compositions of the present invention impart and significantly enhance additional conditioning and rheological benefits to the hair. Other components commonly used in oxidative hair dye products can be added to one or both component parts of the compositions of the present invention.

Abstract: A hair dye composition comprising a primary intermediate, a coupler and oxidant and water wherein the primary intermediate is a compound of the formula I or II with the proviso that when the primary intermediate has the formula II, the coupler has the formula III
