Abstract: A cosmetic composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion methods of using and producing cosmetic compositions is provided. The cosmetic composition includes an aqueous phase, an oil phase comprising a water-in-oil emulsifier, and an oil stabilizing component. The water-in-oil emulsifier is at concentration, by weight, of about 0.01% to about 6.0%, based upon weight of the composition. The oil stabilizing component includes one or both of an amphiphilic compound or a surfactant having an HLB of 13 or greater added to the aqueous phase. The oil stabilizing component is at a concentration, by weight, of about 0.01% to about 1.0%, based upon weight of the composition. The oil-in-water emulsion has an increased water load relative to water-in-oil emulsions without having an increased viscosity.

Abstract: A process for altering the appearance of hair, the process comprising the steps of (a) providing a composition for dyeing and reducing curl and/or frizziness of hair, said composition comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable carrier: (i) at least one non-hydroxide base; (ii) at least one protein denaturant different from (a)(i); (iii) at least one dye chosen from oxidative dye precursors and direct dyes; (iv) at least one thickening agent; (v) optionally, at least one alkoxysilane comprising at least one solubilizing functional group; and (vi) optionally, at least one fatty substance; (b) contacting the hair with the composition in (a) to form treated hair; (c) rinsing the treated hair; (d) drying the treated hair; (e) smoothing the treated hair using a combination of heat and means for physically smoothing hair to form smoothed hair; (f) optionally, shampooing the smoothed hair; and (g) rinsing the smoothed hair.
Abstract: The invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium: (i) from 0.01% to 10% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of one or more compounds chosen from ellagic acid, ethers thereof and ellagic acid salts or ethers thereof, in a content ranging (ii) one or more extracts of one or more non-photosynthetic, non-fruiting filamentous bacteria, and (iii) one or more surfactants chosen from anionic and/or amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactants. The invention also relates to a cosmetic treatment process using such a composition, and to the use of this composition for eliminating and/or reducing the amount of dandruff on the hair and the scalp.
Abstract: The solubility in solvent media, notably alcoholic media, of the beta-hydroxy acids (“BHAs”), notably the chemical skin peeling agent salicylic acid, is markedly enhanced by solubilizing same in the presence of at least one alpha-hydroxy acid (“AHA”); higher potency, more concentrated BHA skin peel products are thus formulated.
