Disclosed is a new type of transparent GaAs photo electric layer formed on an optical window made of a GaP single crystal substrate via an Al.sub.x Ga.sub.(1-x) As buffer layer, in which a gradual-lattice-constant layer of quadruple Al.sub.x Ga.sub.(1-x) PyAs.sub.(1-y) compound crystal is formed between the GaP single crystal substrate and the Al.sub.x Ga.sub.(1-x) As buffer layer. The y content in the gradual-lattice-constant layer of quadruple Al.sub.x Ga.sub.(1-x) PyAs.sub.(1-y) compound crys...

A conductive dielectric structure is disclosed wherein a thermoplastic matrix has a multitude of electrically conductive channels through its thickness and, optionally, at least one electrically conductive surface which, along with protective and heat seal layers, can be formed into conductive belts.

The present invention provides a powdery cosmetic which is excellent in spreadability and adhesion, free from standing-out of powder after application to the skin, free from a dry and loose sensation and has characteristics necessary for powdery cosmetic. The powdery cosmetic of the present invention comprises a porous spherical cellulose powder incorporated therein in an amount of 0.1 to 50% by weight based on the whole amount of the powdery cosmetic. The porous spherical cellulose powder has a...

A composition suitable for topical application to the skin or hair, comprises: a. a dialkyl or dialkenyl phosphate salt having the structure (1): ##STR1## and b. a branched or unbranched, monoalkyl or monoalkenyl phosphate salt (or mixtures thereof) having the structure (2): ##STR2## where R.sup.01, R.sup.02 and R.sup.03 are each chosen from branched or unbranched, alkyl or alkenyl groups having an average of from 7 to 9 carbon atoms; X, Y and Z are each chosen from H, alkali metal, ammonium and...

A cosmetic containing a powder component and a silicone oil component, said powder component having microfine, low surface energy particles, at least 50% of which have an average particle size of 10 microns, at least 70% being coated with lecithin, and said powder component further containing polymethyl methacrylate, nylon and polyethylene.

Shaped articles, such as cakes, sticks and other compacts, formulated with liquefiable powders containing various agents are disclosed for the delivery of cosmetic and other personal care products. In particular, microporous cellulosic powders, such a cellulose triacetate (CTA), are disclosed as high liquid content vehicles for the active agents. The liquefiable powders can be compacted to form firm cakes or formulated with binders to yield sticks. The resulting shaped articles are neither oily ...

A method of treating nail units of animals including humans in which a preparation containing tretinoin is topically applied to the nail to promote growth of the nail unit.

Washing and foaming composition for inducing and stimulating the growth of hair and/or retarding its loss, characterized in that it contains, in a physiologically acceptable medium, at least one amphoteric surface-active agent chosen from the amphocarboxyglycinates of formula: ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 may denote an alkyl radical derived from copra, or a heptyl, nonyl or undecyl radical; and the amphocarboxypropionates corresponding to the formula: ##STR2## in which n=1 or 2, X denotes --CH.sub....

The invention concerns a process for the cosmetic treatment of keratinic substances and in particular hair, the skin or the nails, wherein at least one strongly cationic quaternized protein and at least one anionic polymer other than homopolymers of acrylic acid crosslinked by means of a polyfunctional agent or an amphoteric polymer are applied on the said substances.

A hair-waving product comprises a polyurethane film containing a hair-waving composition which is released from the polyurethane film when the film is contacted with wet hair. The invention also relates to a process of hair waving comprising rolling the polyurethane film into wet hair and allowing sufficient hair-waving treatment time to release the hair-waving composition.
