The present invention relates to compositions and their use for the treatment of human skin, particularly facial skin, to alleviate the symptoms of cosmetic or determatologic skin conditions. The invention relates to compositions for treating and ameliorating skin conditions including acne, rosacea and wrinkling caused by photodamage or conditions related to aging, hormonal imbalances, hyper-pigmentation, melasma, keratosis or the like. The invention can also be used to treat conditions of the scalp such as dandruff. The present invention also relates to compositions that can be used to remove biofllms from contact lenses. More particularly, this invention relates to a composition comprising (a) one or more metasilicate; (b) one or more carbonate; (c) one or more glyconate; and (d) one or more sulfate. The composition may also contain (e) salts, e.g., sea salts and other additives or active agents.

The present invention relates to a block polymeric material. Typically the block polymer comprises units capable of having an average cationic charge density of about 15 or less, preferably 5 or less, more preferably from about 0.05 to about 5, even more preferably from about 0.05 to about 2.77, even more preferably from about 0.1 to about 2.75, most preferably from about 0.75 to about 2.25 units per 100 daltons molecular weight at a pH of from about 4 to about 12. The polymeric material is a suds enhancer and a suds volume extender for personal care products such as soaps and shampoos. The compositions have increased effectiveness for preventing re-deposition of grease during hand and body washing. The polymers are also effective as a soil release agent in fabric cleaning compositions. The polymeric material is also effective in oil well treating foam, fire-fighting foam, hard surface cleaning foam, shaving cream, post-foaming shaving gel, dephiliatories and as a coagulant/retention aid for titanium dioxide in paper making.

The present invention relates to non volatile compositions that comprises: i) from about 05 % to about 60 % by weight, of a silicone resin; ii) from about 01 % to about 30 %, by weight, of a silicon gum; iii) from about 01 % to about 95 %, by weight, of a non volatile polysiloxane fluid which has a viscosity from about 1cStk to about 1000cStk; and from about 001 % to about 50 %, by weight, of an oral care active selected from teeth colour modifying substances, anti-tartar agents, anti-plawue agents, fluoride ion sources, anti-microbial agents, nutrients, antioxidants, H-2 antagonists, analgesics, anti-viral agents, mucosally absorbed pharmacological agents and mixtures thereof A second aspect of the present invention relates to the user of non volatile oral care silicone compositions in the oral cavity to treat the hard and soft tissue surfaces wherein the composition comprises: (i) from about 05 % to about 60 %, by weight, of a silicone resin; (ii) from about 01 % to about 30 %, by weight of a silicone gum; (iii) from about 1cStk to about 1000cStk Compositions of the present invention are useful for providing a substantive composition on the surfaces of the oral cavity which can provide prophylactic, therapeutic or consmetic benefits

Dental care compositions

Disclosed are topical compositions for the treatment of microbial infections on the skin or scalp which include a polyvalent metal salt of pyrithione and include a metal ion source. Also disclosed are methods for treating microbial infections of the skin or scalp using such compositions.

Topical anti-microbial compositions

According to the present invention there is provided hair treatment compositions comprising: (a) at least one associative polymer; (b) at least one long chain alcohol; (c) at least one cationic surfactant; wherein the weight ratio of (b):(c) is greater about 1.5:1. The compositions of the present invention have an excellent rheology profile and deliver good conditioning benefits. The compositions herein are stable during storage white being easy to dispense and apply to the hair.

Hair care compositions

Compositions suitable for treating hair comprising an oxidizing agent, a conditioning agent selected from silicone materials, especially nonvolatile silicone and amino functionalised silicones, cationic surfactants, cationic polymers, alkoxylated amines and mixtures thereof and at least 1.6% of a chelant. The compositions of the invention are useful for depositing high amount of conditioning agent and reducing oxidative hair damage during oxidative treatment of hair such as oxidative hair dyeing and hair bleaching.

Oxidizing compositions comprising a chelant and a conditioning agent and methods of treating hair

The present invention relates to a method of hair colouring and bleaching compositions providing a composition comprising i) at least one source of peroxymonocarbonate ions, ii) at least one alkalizing agent, preferably a source of ammonium ions, and iii) at least one radical scavenger, wherein said composition has a pH of up to 9.5, and applying the composition to the hair and retaining on the hair for a period of less than 20 minutes, which provide a high level of lift and lightening and the required dye deposition and grey coverage whilst reducing the concentration of peroxide, the ammonia odour and reducing the hair fibre damage.

Method of rapid hair dyeing

Compositions suitable for treating hair comprising an oxidizing agent, a conditioning agent selected from silicone materials, especially nonvolatile silicone and amino functionalised silicones, cationic surfactants, cationic polymers, alkoxylated amines amines and mixtures thereof and a chelant selected from phosphonic acid chelants, salts thereof, derivatives thereof and mixtures thereof and methods of treating hair. The compositions of the invention are useful for depositing high amount of conditioning agent and reducing oxidative hair damage during oxidative treatment of hair such as oxidative hair dyeing and hair bleaching.

Oxidizing compositions comprising a phosphonic acid type chelant and a conditioning agent and methods of treating hair

Provided are hair care products, especially leave-on products, comprising hair care compositions providing enhanced shine to the air in combination with clean hair feel and refreshment to the hair and scalp without inducing excess drying-out of the scalp. The compositions comprise a combination of: (a) a hair shine agent consisting essentially of: (i) a high refractive index non-volatile polysiloxane fluid and (ii) a non-volatile spreading agent for the high refractive index polysiloxane fluid which is intermixed with the high refractive index polysiloxane fluid; (b) ethanol; and (c) water; wherein the ethanol level is from about 10 % to about 50 %, by weight, of the composition. In another aspect of the present invention, the composition hereof further comprises a scalp conditioning agent. The present invention also provides for methods of use of the air care products.
