Abstract: This invention relates to reactive dye compounds, and more especially to reactive dye compounds comprising a chromophore and a nitroen-containing heterocycle comprising at least one thio-substituent. The reactive dye compounds of the present are particularly suitable for dyeing hair.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and absorbent articles including compositions for protecting the skin barrier. The compositions can be applied to the bodyfacing surfaces of absorbent articles so that the compositions come into contact with the skin. The compositions of the invention have improved stability on the bodyfacing surfaces after processing. The compositions of the invention provide several benefits including prevention and alleviation of skin irritations associated with the use of absorbent articles. The compositions can include hydrophilic solvents, high molecular weight polyethylene glycols, fatty alcohols, fatty acids and decoupling polymers.

Abstract: Packaged hair coloring composition comprising a stable aqueous hair coloring composition comprising a compound of formula (I): wherein the variables are each as defined in the claims. The packaged hair coloring compositions of the present invention provide improved wash fastness of dye on hair, less color fade over time, improved consumer acceptance in terms of providing a single packaged hair dye composition and improved product stability.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composite material including a substrate with a first and a second surface, a boundary layer which is comprised of one or more compositions, and a topical application. The boundary layer is applied on the first surface of the substrate, and the topical application is applied to a surface of the boundary layer opposite of the substrate. Transfer efficiency of the topical application is enhanced as the transfer forces necessary to separate the topical application from the boundary layer are lower than the transfer forces necessary to separate the substrate from the boundary layer.

Abstract: Reactive Dye compound having formula (I) wherein: D is a chromophore group; L is a linking moiety; Q is a quaternized nitrogen derivative; X and Y are independently selected from chlorine, bromine, fluorine or hydrogen; A is selected from halogen, preferably chlorine or fluorine; provided that at least one of X and Y is fluorine; A is selected from halogen, preferably chlorine or fluorine; and salts and esters thereof.
