Abstract: The presently claimed invention is directed to an oxidative hair treatment composition comprising (A) at least one alkalizing agent, (B) at least one oxidizing agent, (C) at least one saturated acyclic terpane which is a saturated acyclic terpane having 10 to 40 carbon atoms, (D) at least one amino acid selected from the group consisting of alanine, glycine, phenylalanine, leucine, valine, isoleucine; glutamic acid, aspartic acid, citrulline, histidine, arginine, lysine and tyrosine, (E) a cosmetically acceptable aqueous or aqueous-organic medium, and (J) at least one chelant; a kit comprising the aforementioned components and a method of treating hair with the oxidative hair treatment composition according to the presently claimed invention.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a hair treatment composition and method for its use. Embodiments of the hair treatment composition include at least organic acid components comprising an organic dicarboxylic acid and an organic fatty acid, a fatty hydrocarbon and a fatty acid ester. The hair treatment composition can serve as a hair conditioner, a leave-on composition or a shampoo depending upon additional appropriate additives.

Abstract: A composition for promoting hair growth, and/or reducing or preventing hair loss, respectively, comprises sandal pentanol, caffeine, one or more saturated and unsaturated C10-C18 fatty acids, and a solvent.

Abstract: A permanent shaping composition for the permanent deformation of hair, a kit, a method and a use thereof are provided. The present invention provides a superior permanent shaping performance, particularly vis-à-vis odor control, application, combing and rinsability. Particularly, the present invention provides a superior permanent shaping performance, with a reduced or an eliminated smell of the compounds with a mercapto-functional group upon application.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to methods for coloring keratinous substrates using solubilized vat dyes, as well as compositions and kits suitable for carrying out the methods. The disclosure also relates to novel solubilized vat dyes.
