Abstract: The present invention relates to pulverized, non-fluid hair conditioning products comprising a fluid hair conditioning composition which is absorbed on a solid carrier, wherein the fluid hair conditioning composition contains at least one hair care agent, selected from the group consisting of hair conditioning surfactants, hair conditioning polymers, hair conditioning silicones, fatty alcohols, oils, panthenol, amino acids, panthenyl ethyl ether, sorbitol, betaine, creatine and protein hydrolysates; and wherein the carrier is a non-waxy material which is solid at room temperature. The products can be made by first dissolving a gas in said fluid hair conditioning composition at high pressure, then expanding the liquid/gas solution, wherein said solid carrier is added either before, or during or shortly after said expansion. The products can be used in a method of conditioning human hair.

Abstract: The present invention provides an oil-in-water or water/oil/water multiple emulsion, or a mixture thereof, comprising (A) a organopolysiloxane elastomer crosslinked with polyether chains and (B) at least one thickener selected from the group of a polyacrylamide homo- or copolymer, a cellulose ether, a non-silicone cationic polymer or a thickening system comprising a mixture of from about 60% to about 67% of the thickening system of a copolymer of 2-propenoic acid with 2-propenamide, from about 27% to about 32% of the thickening system of the homopolymer of 2-methyl-1-propene and from about 5 to about 7% of the thickening system of poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl)-sorbitan-monododecanoate.

Abstract: The present invention provides the use of a thickening system to provide stable thickened hair treating composition, preferably hair care composition, that can provide enhanced touch, combability, alignment and volume reduction to the hair, with low or reduced greasy, oily hair feel, while being formulated having a thick viscosity with excellent spreading, perception of spreading, combability of hair and feel of hair.

Abstract: The cosmetic composition with hair conditioning action contains from 0.01 to 20.0 percent by weight of at least one siloxane polymer of formula (I): wherein R1, R2 and R3 each represent a linear or branched C1- to C6-alkyl group, phenyl group or a linear or branched phenyl-(C1- to C6)-alkyl group, wherein x and y represent whole numbers, x?4 and y?1 and y has a maximum value of 100,000 and x has a maximum value of 100,002; and from 0.1 to 20.0 percent by weight of at least one polyhydric alcohol. The polyhydric alcohol is preferably an aliphatic polyhydric alcohol with 2 to 4 carbon atoms. The composition optionally contains at least one cationic surfactant and/or at least one fatty alcohol. This hair conditioning agent is preferably used as a hair rinse.

Abstract: Rinse-off cosmetic compositions, which contain a UV-Quat and a UV-filter substance, protect skin and/or hair from damaging UV radiation.
