Abstract: The instant disclosure generally relates to a multicomponent composition for coating mammalian or synthetic keratin material and textiles, the composition comprising a first and second components and a third component. The first and second components comprise first and second compounds respectively. Any one or more of the first, second and third components may also comprise pigment microparticles. The first, second and third compounds meld together on keratin material and textiles and especially on hair to form a coating that can be formulated to provide temporary coverage or provide permanent coverage. The multicomponent composition formed and set in situ as a solid linked coating ranges from ready removability to substantially permanent lastingness.

Abstract: Provided is a fluid dispenser comprising a flexible container that contains the fluid, a rigid outer container that houses the flexible container, a dispensing member for drawing the fluid out from the flexible container, and optionally an interconnection piece. Also provided is a kit and a method thereof.

Abstract: A hair treatment kit comprises a hair treatment composition selected from the group of semi-permanent oxidative and/or direct dye hair colorant compositions, hair bleaching compositions, highlighting compositions, and combinations thereof, a reservoir for holding the temporary hair treatment composition, and an applicator fluidly connected to the reservoir for selectively applying the hair treatment composition to a targeted area of hair. Methods of applying the hair treatment composition comprise selectively engaging the applicator with a targeted area of hair, leaving the hair treatment composition in the targeted area for a time period, washing the hair treatment composition out of the targeted area, closing the reservoir to preserve remaining hair treatment composition for later use, and reapplying the hair treatment composition to the targeted area.

Abstract: The instant disclosure generally relates to a multicomponent composition for coloring mammalian or synthetic keratin fibers, the multicomponent composition comprising first, second, third and fourth components. The first component includes an organic polymer, the second component includes an in situ linking material, the third component includes a base compound and the fourth component includes a catalyst or other substance. One or more of the components includes pigment microparticles. The multicomponent composition in situ links upon application, forms a solid coating on treated material such as hair and has a substantially long color remanence following development. Methods of using such compositions are also described herein.

Abstract: It is provided herewith a hair treating product comprising an oxidizing component and a tint component; a hair treating composition obtained upon mixing of the oxidizing component and the tint component; the use of the oxidizing component in a hair treating product, for cancelling the alkalinity of a tint component; and an oxidizing component comprising a buffer system. The hair treating product, and the corresponding hair treating composition, is particularly useful for colouring or bleaching hair. It is useful for providing permanent or demi-permanent coloration or bleaching to keratin fibers.

Abstract: The present invention concerns an auxochrome substituent for an oxidative dye coupler. The auxochrome substituent enables ready developer reaction with the coupler to form azomethine and leuco dyes. Manipulation of the auxochrome substituent enables a bathochromic or hypsochromic shift of the light absorbance by the azomethine dye formed with the auxochrome substituted coupler.

Abstract: A non-sulfate shampoo is disclosed. The shampoo incorporates at least one non-sulfate surfactant selected from a taurate salt and a sarcosinate salt, and in addition incorporates a complexation compound. The shampoo produces a coacervate upon dilution with water and in use to shampoo hair. The shampoo provides mild non-irritating treatment of the hair and does not irritate skin or eyes.
