Abstract: Deodorant and antiperspirant compositions can suffer from perceived irritancy when applied topically, which can be ameliorated or overcome by incorporating within the composition borage seed oil, and especially an amount selected in the range of from 0.5 to 10 wt %. The compositions advantageously comprise an aluminium or aluminium-zirconium active.

Abstract: In brief, the present invention is directed to a method for conditioning hair which comprises:(a) applying to hair a leave-on composition comprising:(1) a nonvolatile, silicone conditioning agent;(2) a resin; and(3) a carrier;(b) applying heat via a heating appliance to the composition treated hair to dry or style the hair and wherein a reduction in the bending modulus caused by the silicone conditioning agent is at least 1.00%, even when offset by an increase in bending modulus caused by the presence of a resin, and wherein the method of the invention results in the deposition on the hair of at least 30 ug silicone/1 g of hair.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a low residue antiperspirant composition substantially free of water and long chain fatty alcohols which comprises:(a) from about 30% to about 50% of a volatile silicone;(b) from about 5% to about 30% of a particulate antiperspirant active;(c) from about 2% to about 12% of hydrogenated castor oil;(d) from about 8% to about 28% of paraffin; and(e) from about 10% to about 25% of an emollient;wherein the ratio of the paraffin to hydrogenated castor oil is from about 6 to 1 to about 0.85 to 1.

Abstract: A hair treatment composition, such as a shampoo or conditioner, which comprises a silicone component which comprises a silicone gum with a viscosity greater than 1 Mcs, a silicone fluid with a viscosity of less than 100 kcs, and an amino functionalised silicone.

Abstract: Enzymes are immobilized by preparing an emulsion containing a continuous hydrophobic phase such as a triglyceride oil and a dispersed aqueous phase containing an amphiphilic enzyme such as lipase or phospholipase and carrier material that is partly dissolved and partly undissolved in the aqueous phase, and removing water from the aqueous phase until the phase turns into solid enzyme coated carrier particles. The undissolved part of the carrier material may be a material that is insoluble in water and oil, or a water soluble material in undissolved form because the aqueous phase is already saturated with the water soluble material. The aqueous phase may be formed with a crude lipase fermentation liquid containing fermentation residues and biomass that can serve as carrier materials. Immobilized lipase is useful for ester re-arrangement and de-acidification in oils.

Abstract: Rinse-off, water-in-oil-in-water multiple emulsion compositions are disclosed. The multiple emulsion compositions comprise an external aqueous phase optionally incorporating an emulsifier and/or a second topically-active compound. The internal phase comprises a primary water-in-oil emulsion, wherein the primary emulsion comprises a first topically-active compound, a surfactant phase, an oil phase, and water.

Abstract: A mild wave and hair styling reducing agent-containing composition and method of bodifying, styling, or permanently waving or straightening human hair that provides a strong, long lasting curl, or long lasting straight hair formation, while minimizing hair damage. The composition includes two ionic compounds, one cationic and the other anionic, that complex in solution over a molar ratio of cationic compound to anionic compound in the range of about 1:1.2 to about 1.2:1, preferably in the range of about 1:1.1 to about 1.1:1, to provide synergy in waving efficiency, thereby providing a strongly reconfigured hair configuration (curled or straightened). At least one of the ionic compounds functions as a reducing agent for hair, capable of breaking the disulfide bonds in the hair so that the bonds later can be reformed via oxidation, when the hair is in the desired configuration.
