  • Patent number: 7108849
    Abstract: The wax composition for styling human hair provides hold, strength and rigidity, includes at least one wax and/or waxy material, and has a density of less than or equal to 0.9 g/ml, after being foamed in a fluid or softened state with a gas, preferably air or a non-reactive gas, such as nitrogen, so that it includes a bubble and/or pore structure. In the method for styling human hair this wax composition is applied to the hair and the hair is shaped with the wax composition applied to it.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7037488
    Abstract: A hair wax product is made by a process, in which a solid wax composition is heated to melt or soften it and then foamed with a gas in a mixer that applies shear energy to it. The gas is preferably air or a non-reactive gas, such as nitrogen. The gas is introduced to the liquified or softened solid wax composition in a sufficient amount so that the density of the resulting hair wax product is less than or equal to 0.9 g/ml, preferably 0.6 to 0.8 g/ml. The hair wax product contains bubbles and/or pores having a size of from 0.0001 to 5 mm and has melting and softening properties such that rubbing it by hand is sufficient to remove a waxy portion from it and work the waxy portion into hair.

  • Publication number: 20040076651
    Abstract: Described is a cosmetic or dermatological agent in the form of a creamy permanent foam or in the form of a stable foamy cream which as a finished foam product is available in an appropriate container and can be dispensed therefrom. Preferred is a degree of foam-up of at least 10% and a density of the total mass of at the most 0.9 g/mL. The incorporated gas or the bubble structure produced remains stably contained in the mass even after storage of at least one week at room temperature (20° C.). The agent can be produced by preparing a liquid, foamable composition which at room temperature (20° C.) has a yield value, and subsequently or at the same time beating or foaming the composition with a gas.
