Abstract: The present invention relates to 2-(amino or substituted amino)-5,6-substituted phenol compounds according to the Formula (I), as defined herein and compositions for the oxidative dyeing of keratin fibres, comprising a medium suitable for dyeing and a compound of the Formula (I).

Abstract: The present invention relates to an oxidative hair colouring and bleaching composition comprising an oxidizing agent, a source of carbonate ions, an alkalising agent, and preformed dyes, utilised at pH 9.5 and below which improved colour delivery, intensity and vibrancy, which are compatible with current dyes and dye precursor systems. Moreover, the compositions of the present invention also exhibit low odour and deliver a high level of lift and lightening equal to the currently utilised ammonia/peroxide systems, whilst reducing the concentration of peroxide and reducing the hair fibre damage.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions for the oxidative dyeing of keratin fibres, comprising a medium suitable for dyeing and a compound 2-(amino or substituted amino)-3,5-substituted phenol compounds according to the Formula (I), as defined herein.

Abstract: The present invention relates to 2-(amino or substituted amino)-5,6-substituted phenol compounds according to the Formula (I), as defined herein and compositions for the oxidative dyeing of keratin fibres, comprising a medium suitable for dyeing and a compound of the Formula (I).

Abstract: Disclosed are 2-(amino or substituted amino)-5-(substituted oxymethyl)-phenol compounds according to the Formula (I), as defined herein. Also, compositions for the oxidative dyeing of keratin fibers, comprising a medium suitable for dyeing and a compound of the Formula (II), as defined herein. The substituents of both formulae may themselves be substituted or unsubstituted. Further, methods for oxidative dyeing of keratin fibers, comprising applying such compositions in the presence of an oxidizing agent, for a period which is sufficient to develop the desired coloration.

Abstract: A metered dose dispensing valve for use with an aerosol container is disclosed. The valve comprises, as a single integral component, a rim gasket for sealing the valve to the aerosol container, a sealing flap for pressure filling the valve, and an insert which takes up dead volume within the valve.

Abstract: A valve assembly for a pressurized aerosol-dispensing container, in which a hollow body secured inside the container cooperates with an elongate movable valve member operative from outside the container to dispense a predetermined amount only of the liquid contents of the container for each dispensing operation, avoids problems associated with the formation of gas bubbles by providing a second hollow body as a dip-cup concentrically around the first hollow body and dividing the space between the two hollow bodies into a plurality of capillary channels which retain liquid therein. The two hollow bodies are mutually supporting and the second, outer hollow body may be of plastic material or metal. If of plastic material, it can deform on fitting to grip the inner hollow body; if of metal it can be crimped or otherwise deformed into gripping contact with the inner hollow body.
