Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for applying to skin, an aqueous composition comprising one or more acid direct dyes and an organic solvent, wherein the composition has a pH of 2-6 and wherein the composition is free of anionic surfactants. The method also comprises applying the aqueous composition to the skin by spraying and further comprises rinsing the composition from skin with water.

Abstract: Compositions comprising one or more acid direct dyes and an organic solvent such as propylene carbonate are described. The compositions can be applied to untreated hair or to hair that has been previously dyed with an oxidative hair dye composition to restore color to the hair. The compositions for treating hair can have an oil phase content of 5 percent by weight or less. The oil phase of the compositions can include a cyclopentasiloxane and dimethiconol. Methods of applying these compositions to hair are also described. The methods involve applying the composition to wet hair, allowing the composition to remain on the hair, and subsequently rinsing the composition from the hair with water. The hair may be treated with a conditioner before applying the compositions to the hair. The compositions can also be applied to the skin with or without rinsing to darken the skin tone.

Abstract: Cosmetic compositions which, when applied to the skin, mask skin imperfections and provide more uniform skin tone are described. The compositions can be formulated to address the needs of users having a specific skin tone. The compositions include one or more pigments (e.g., iron oxides) and may also include reflective particles such as mica coated with iron oxide and/or titanium dioxide. The compositions can be oil-in-water emulsions comprising a discontinuous oil phase dispersed in a continuous aqueous phase. The compositions can also include emollients, one or more skin sheen additives, a film former (e.g., polycyclopentadiene) and isohexadecane. Compositions formulated for lighter skin tones can include one or more sunscreen agents. The compositions can be formulated to have high color transfer resistance. Methods of making the compositions and methods of treatment comprising applying the compositions to the skin are also described.
