Abstract: A method for decorating a substrate with hot stamping foil comprising the steps of:a) applying an ink composition comprised of a cationically radiation cured cycloaliphatic epoxide to the substrate in a predetermined design, said ink being operable when cured to bond to the substrate,b) curing the ink on the substrate by exposing to the radiation by which it is curable, thereby bonding the ink composition to the substrate,c) pressing a sheet of hot stamping foil against the substrate with a die heated to a temperature sufficient to cause a portion of the hot stamping foil to adhere to the heated, cured ink design but not to the ink-free areas of the substrate, andd) removing the die, thereby leaving behind a portion of the foil adhered to the ink design.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition for lengthening, curling, and coloring human eyelashes comprising, by weight of the total composition:10-25% of a gel composition comprising a film forming component that contains at least one water dissipatable polymer which is a polyester or a polyamide, and75-90% of an oil in water emulsion base composition comprised of pigment, wax, and at least one oil soluble synthetic polymer,wherein when the gel composition is mixed into the base composition the water dissipatable polymer of the gel composition reacts with the oil soluble synthetic polymer of the base composition to provide a composition with superior lash lengthening properties.

Abstract: A hairspray/hair setting composition comprising:a) 0.001-20% of a neutralizable hair fixative resin,b) 0.001-8% of a base, andc) 0.001-5% of an acid surfactant precursorin an alcohol or aqueous/alcohol carrier.

Abstract: A pencil barrel is prepared by extruding, shaping, and cooling, under controlled conditions, a foamable, thermoplastic resin-based composition. The combination of the particular extrudable composition and the means of shaping and cooling the tubular extrudate obtained therefrom are readily useful as barrels, i.e. sheaths, for sharpenable pencils, particularly in the cosmetic industry. The resultant pencil barrels are characterized by their sharpenability, uniform satin-matte smoothness, outstanding printability, and their prolonged resistance to atmospheric conditions. The method for making said pencil barrels is also disclosed.

Abstract: A hair care composition comprising N-alkoxyalkylamides of the formula: ##STR1## wherein p is a whole number from 1 to about 4, (C.sub.n H.sub.2n) is a straight or branched chain alkyl bridge in which n is a whole number of 1 to about 6, and is preferably 3,(C.sub.m H.sub.2m+1 is a straight or branched chain alkyl radical in which m is a whole number of 1 to about 6 and is preferably 1.

Abstract: A hair relaxer composition comprising a mixture of:a) a base composition containing a water phase comprised of sodium hydroxide in water, and an oil phase, wherein the water phase is dispersed in the oil phase in the form of water in oil emulsion micelles,b) an additive composition comprised of a water in oil emulsionwhereby the mixture of (a) and (b) is an emulsion within an emulsion.
