Patent number: 7846424Abstract: A post-application expanding composition for application to hair fibers of the scalp, eyebrows or eyelashes is provided. The composition comprises at least one surfactant, a solvent for the surfactant, and a volatile agent in an amount that will cause the surfactant and solvent to interact and foam on the hair fibers thereby producing an expanded composition. The composition further contains a film-forming agent in an amount effective to form a film which when set fixes at least a portion of the expanded composition in its expanded state. The volatile agent is solubilized in the composition, and is further dispersed throughout the composition in nanometer size droplets or generated in situ on the hair fibers or immediately prior to application thereto so that the composition is storable in a non-pressurized container.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2003Date of Patent: December 7, 2010Assignee: Avon Products, IncInventors: William E. McNamara, Derrick B. McKie, John S. Kurek, Clifford A. Milow, Mark S. Garrison, Raymond Cen

Patent number: 7837985Abstract: The present invention provides a post-application expanding composition for application to keratin fibers, preferably hair, more preferably the hair of the scalp, eyebrows and eyelashes, and most preferably the eyelashes. The composition comprises one or more surfactants, a solvent for the surfactant(s), a volatile agent, a film forming agent and, optionally, a colorant, preferably a pigment. The present invention also provides a method for imparting a volumizing effect to hair of the scalp, eyebrows or eyelashes by applying thereto the post-expanding composition of the invention.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2003Date of Patent: November 23, 2010Assignee: Avon Products, IncInventors: William E. McNamara, Mark S. Garrison

Patent number: 7829514Abstract: The disclosure relates to novel detergent and conditioning compositions comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable aqueous medium, (A) at least one anionic surfactant comprising at least one group chosen from sulfate, sulfonate and phosphate, (B) at least one carboxylic anionic surfactant other than the at least one anionic surfactant of (A), (C) at least one amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactant, (D) at least one alkylpolyglycoside nonionic surfactant, (E) at least one cationic polymer with a cationic charge density of greater than or equal to 4 meq./g, and (F) at least one beneficial agent other than the at least one cationic polymer of (E), wherein the sulfate, sulfonate or phosphate anionic surfactant/amphoteric surfactant weight ratio is in a range from 0.1 to 2. Also disclosed are uses of said composition for cleansing and caring for the hair or the skin.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2008Date of Patent: November 9, 2010Assignee: L'Oreal S.A.Inventors: Laurence Paul, Franck Giroud, Henri Samain
