Abstract: The presently claimed invention relates to oxidative hair colouring compositions comprising at least one alkalizing agent of general formula (I), The oxidative hair colouring compositions comprising at least one compound of general formula (I) provide the combined benefit of delivering broader colour shade palette and improved colour intensity with a low level of hair damage, while ensuring low or no odour levels.

Abstract: The presently claimed invention relates to hair colouring formulations comprising 2-amino-1-Propanol (2A1P/Alanilol) as an alkalizing agent. The compositions of the presently claimed invention provide a series of desirable properties to the user such as a pleasant low chemical odour and a high level of hair bleaching with an acceptable damage profile. The compositions of the presently claimed invention further enable formulators to deliver a wider range of shades or colour formulations by reducing the off-toning adducts of oxidative dyes.

Abstract: An absorbent article for wearing about the lower torso of a wearer includes a topsheet, a backsheet joined to at least a portion of the topsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet. The absorbent core includes a first layer and a second layer, wherein the first layer is disposed in fluid communication with the second layer. The first layer has a first shape and the second layer has a second shape. The first shape is different from the second shape. Each of the first layer and second layer comprise less than about 20 percent airfelt.

Abstract: The present invention is a method of and an apparatus for creating a pulsed stream of particles in a carrier means, such as air. A pre-metered stream of particles is accumulated in a pulsing chamber of a pulsing means by interrupting the stream of particles by a separator means, which interrupts the flow for a certain portion of the pulse period. The accumulated particles are then removed from the pulsing means by suction, such as by using an ejector. The invention is further directed to a kit or pack of individual absorbent articles which can be produced using the method and the apparatus.
