Abstract: The present invention is directed to a solid cosmetic composition for keratin fibers, preferably human keratin fibers, more preferably human hair, comprising: one or more non-silicone lipophilic compound(s) having a melting point above 25° C. under atmospheric pressure, one or more pulverulent excipient(s), one or more cationic and/or cationizable compound(s), wherein the concentration of pulverulent excipients is 1% by weight or more, calculated to the total weight of the composition, and wherein the total concentration of water is less than 10% by weight, preferably less than 5% by weight, more preferably less than 1% by weight, still more preferably less than 0.5% by weight, calculated to the total weight of the composition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition and process for reducing the drying time of solid substrate. A cationic surfactant in combination with low molecular weight dimethylpolysiloxanes provide for a faster water drainage.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition is disclosed comprising a synthetic optical brightener and a naturally-derived optical brightener. Both brightener classes absorb and emit light at different wavelengths and possess in combination a superior effect. The combination enhances color brilliance on keratin fibers under daylight and artificial light conditions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for treating hair wherein hair is applied two compositions one after another with an optional rinse off step in order to increase effectiveness of the active compounds comprised in only in the first composition applied onto hair.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of treating keratin fibers, preferably to conditioning of aforementioned fibers. A method for treating keratin fibers, a kit-of-parts, and a use is disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention is on a cosmetic composition for improving color brilliance and wash fastness of artificially-colored keratin fibers. The effect is achieved by the combination of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid esters, pyrrolidone carboxylic acid and/or its salts, and amodimethicone microemulsion. A process for treating keratin fibers, a use of the composition and well as a kit-of-parts is disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition and process for reducing the drying time of solid substrate. A group of cationic surfactants in combination with low molecular weight dimethylpolysiloxanes, amodimethicones, and fatty alcohols provide for a faster water drainage.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a composition comprising a combination of surfactants for cleansing keratin fibers, a method for cleansing, use of the composition for cleansing, and kit-of-parts thereof. It has been found that the combination of two anionic surfactants, an amphoteric surfactant, and a diol compound provide a rich foam and superior color retention on pre-colored hair.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a composition, method, use, and kit-of-parts for cleansing and conditioning of keratin fibers. The benefits are achieved by a combination of fatty alcohols, at least two different species of non-ionic surfactants, and surfactants having a positively charged group at pH below 7.
