Abstract: Agent for oxidative coloring of keratinic fibers comprising a specific combination of non-ionic emulsifiers with a differing degree of ethoxylation and a specific combination of interfacially active substances comprising at least one anionic, at least one zwitterionic and at least one amphoteric surfactant. The agents provide good coloring characteristics while simultaneously protecting against damage to human hair. In particular the agents allow for colors with high color intensity and an improved gray coverage. The agents also provide significant advantages with regard to viscosity stability during storage and use and an improvement in shear sensitivity.

Abstract: Cosmetic agent for temporarily deforming keratin fibers, comprising a polysilicic acid in a cosmetically acceptable carrier, wherein the polysilicic acid is coated with at least one copolymer A formed from at least one monomer A1 according to Formula (A1) wherein R1 is H or CH3, R2 and R3 each independently of each other mean H, OH, C1-10-Alkyl or C1-10-Alkoxy, under the provision that at least one of the radicals R2 or R3 is OH, and n is a whole number from 0 to 20, and at least one monomer A2 according to Formula (A2) wherein R4 is H or CH3, Z is O or NH, and R5 is C1-30-alkyl or C1-30-alkylene-C1-30-alkylether group, use of the agent for temporarily deforming keratin fibers, and method of deforming hair using such agent.

Abstract: The invention relates to agents for temporarily shaping keratin fibers, said agents containing: a) at least one film-forming and/or setting amphoteric polymer A and b) at least one copolymer B formed by at least one monomer B1 selected from acrylamide, methacrylamide, N-alkylacrylamide and N-alkylmethacrylamide, at least one monomer B2 selected from N-vinyllactams, at least one monomer B3 selected from quaternized N-vinylimidazoles and the monomer N-vinylimidazole. The invention also relates to the use of the agents for temporarily shaping hair and to an aerosol styling mousse that contains a corresponding agent and at least one propellant.

Abstract: Textile treatment agent containing a biocidal compound, a perfume composition and a non-ionic surfactant, wherein the non-ionic surfactant has an HLB value of from 10.5 to 15 and a cloud temperature of at least 50° C. This allows production of a stable textile treatment agent which reduces the number of microorganisms on textiles treated with the agent and gives the textiles a pleasant fragrance.

Abstract: Bleaching method for keratin fibers, using an agent comprising a bleach activator system comprising at least one cationic acylpyridinium derivative of formula (I), and hydrogen peroxide and use of agents for bleaching keratin fibers, in particular human hair, comprising at least one cationic acylpyridinium derivative, for reinforcing the bleaching capacity with concomitant improvement in the condition of the fibers.

Abstract: The invention relates to an ironing pad comprising a solid material (1) which reversibly absorbs liquid and a liquid stain treatment composition which is absorbed by the solid material (1) which reversibly absorbs liquid. The invention relates to a process for treating a stain on a textile fabric with such an ironing pad by placing the ironing pad onto the stain and exerting heat and/or pressure on the ironing pad.

Abstract: Photolabile fragrance storage substances capable of the photo-induced release of cyclic compounds having semi-cyclic double bonds are described. Further described is a method for sustained scenting of surfaces and a method for production of said fragrance storage substances.

Abstract: System for replenishing washing or cleaning agents, comprising a spout placeable on the opening of a bottle and having a first collar with a fastener for fastening the spout to a bottle, a second collar with a fastener for fastening a closure and/or metering cap on the spout, a wall extending from the first collar or second collar, a funnel, and an adapter element connectable to the pouring opening of a replenishing container and that comprises a cylinder element and a peripheral collar, a membrane for closing the replenishing container and preventing leakage of washing or cleaning agents out of the replenishing container, wherein the cylinder element of the adapter element has a guide groove configured such that the cylinder element can be detachably placed over the funnel and the web of the spout, whereby the positioning of the adapter element relative to the spout is determined.

Abstract: Method for smoothing fibers containing keratin, in particular human hair. Fibers are subjected to a thermal treatment and to a treatment with an agent containing at least one conditioning compound selected from cationic polymers, quaternary ammonium compounds, silicones and protein hydrolyzates. The invention also relates to the use of an agent containing at least one of the conditioning compounds concerned in said method for smoothing fibers containing keratin. The inventive method achieves an excellent, uniform smoothing of the fibers, which are also conditioned.

Abstract: Agents for coloring keratin-containing fibers, in particular human hair, that contain encased oxidation dye precursor products. More-uniform coloring, which is independent of which strands are wetted first or last with the coloring product, is thereby ensured. The casing of the oxidation dye precursor products is made up of an encapsulating material made of methacrylic-acid, methacrylic acid-ester, or vinyl-acetate homo- or copolymers, or shellac, as well as at least one release agent. Contact time is equalized over time and shortened overall, resulting in a reduction in hair damage due to excessively long contact times. A method for manufacturing coloring agents for keratinic fibers, containing coated particles is also provided.
