Abstract: This invention relates to the deposition of particulate benefit agents onto keratin-containing substrates such that the deposited particulates are resistant to removal by exposure to surfactants or cleansing agents. The deposition is accomplished by sequentially treating the substrate with a cationic composition followed by treatment with an anionic particulate benefit agent.

Abstract: This invention relates to compositions and methods for providing cosmetic and other potential benefits to keratin-containing substrates. The compositions contain at least one naturally-occurring cationic protein with a biological function in a cosmetically acceptable carrier, such that the naturally-occurring cationic protein retains its essential configuration, preserving its biological function, when it is in proximity to a keratin-containing substrate.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods for providing cosmetic or other benefits to keratin-containing substrates by sequential treatment with cationically and anionically charged compounds, and compositions and kits containing them.

Abstract: The invention relates to a coloring composition for depositing colors to a keratin-containing substrate, said composition comprising: (a) one or more acid dyes; and (b) one or more cationic quaternary ammonium compounds, said quaternary ammonium compound being present in an amount which provides conditioning benefits but which is insufficient to interfere with deposition of said dye on said substrate.

Abstract: This invention relates to compositions containing pigments or other benefit agents in particulate form may be combined with a quaternary ammonium compound that can effectuate adsorption to anionic substrates, methods of making such compositions and methods of their use.

Abstract: The invention relates to a single use cleansing sheet comprising: (a) a first fibrous water soluble polymer; (b) a second fibrous water soluble polymer which is different from said first fibrous water soluble polymer; wherein the ratio of (a) and (b) is effective to provide a cleansing sheet which wets out almost immediately upon contact with water; (c) a plasticizer in an amount effective to increase the flexibility and strength of the sheet; (d) a surfactant portion present in an amount effective to provide cleansing and lathering properties; and (e) water. In another embodiment, the invention relates to a method for cleansing the hands, face, hair, or body comprising wetting the cleansing sheet according to the invention with water, applying mild friction and contacting hands, face or body with the wetted sheet.

Abstract: Disclosed is a solid (e.g., cream, such as semi-solid or soft solid) cosmetic composition containing an active cosmetic material (e.g., a deodorant active, an antiperspirant active, a sunscreen, an insect repellent and/or an anti-fungal agent), volatile (e.g., cyclomethicone) and linear chain (e.g., dimethicone and/or phenyl trimethicone) silicone materials, and at least one gelling agent. The at least one gelling agent includes hexanediol-behenyl beeswax, and is included in the composition in an amount sufficient to provide the solid composition. By incorporating the hexanediol-behenyl beeswax as a gelling agent, conventional gelling agents such as fatty alcohols and hydrogenated castor oil need not be incorporated in the composition. When an antiperspirant active material is incorporated in the solid composition containing hexanediol-behenyl beeswax as a gelling agent, a solid antiperspirant composition that is efficacious and leaves no visible (white) residue, can be achieved.

Abstract: Disclosed is a non-aqueous composition for reducing body malodor, containing an antiperspirant active material, volatile silicone material, non-volatile emollient material (e.g., non-volatile silicone emollient material), and a thickening agent, the thickening agent including a gelling agent which is a solid plasticizer. Illustrative gelling agents are hydroxy polyester and polydimethylsiloxanyl beeswax. Other beeswax derivatives whose free fatty acids have been reacted with silicone materials can also be used as the gelling agent for compositions of the present invention. The compositions of the present invention can be formulated as antiperspirant creams by incorporating appropriate amounts of antiperspirant active material and thickening agent in the composition, and can be used to reduce axillary perspiration. Compositions of the present invention have good rheological and viscoelastic properties.
