  • Patent number: 11282190
    Abstract: Disclosed are hair analysis systems and methods comprising: (a) a step to capture an image at least of the top of the head of a user at an image capture unit and to send the image from the image capture unit to a hair analysis unit; (b) a step to analyze the user's hair coverage and/or scalp coverage condition at hair analysis unit, based on the image from the image capture unit by using a deep neural network that predicts user's hair coverage and/or scalp coverage relative to a gender population and is trained on class labels acquired by crowd sourcing, and to provide an analysis result to a display unit; and (c) a step to display at a display unit the analysis result to the user. The present invention provides the system and the method with an improved sensitivity.

  • Publication number: 20030140430
    Abstract: The present invention describes a two-part oxidative hair dye composition which comprises in one or both component parts at least one polyether polyurethane in combination with at least one cationic conditioning agent. The two component parts of the composition comprise a dye component composition, which includes primary intermediates and couplers, and a developing component composition, which includes an oxidizing agent, such as hydrogen peroxide. It has surprisingly been found by the present inventors that nonionic polyether polyurethane polymers and cationic conditioning agents contained in the oxidative hair dye compositions of the present invention impart and significantly enhance additional conditioning and rheological benefits to the hair. Other components commonly used in oxidative hair dye products can be added to one or both component parts of the compositions of the present invention.

  • Patent number: 4814165
    Abstract: A solid hydrated stick for topical application containing emulsified water soluble ingredients and volatile emollients. The stick is a solid emulsion comprising by weight from 15% to 40% of a cyclic silicone, 2% to 15% of an oil, 2% to 20% of a wax, 2% to 7% of polyethylene glycol sorbitan beeswax, 10% to 40% water, and 0.1% to 40% of a cosmetically acceptable functional ingredient. The polyethylene glycol sorbitan beeswax acts as an emulsifier and contributes to the rigidity of the stick, while the silicone serves as an emollient to impart a smooth, buttery feel when the composition is applied to the skin.
