Disubstituted N-halo-alkyl sulfonamide compounds suitable for use as intermediates for making hair dyes having the formula ##SPC1## Wherein R is hydrogen or methyl, n is an integer from 2-6 inclusive, X is chlorine or bromine, R.sub.1 is hydrogen or lower alkyl of 1-4 carbon atoms, R.sub.2 is hydrogen, lower alkyl of 1-4 carbon atoms or acetyl, provided that R.sub.2 is hydrogen and R.sub.1 is lower alkyl when the NO.sub.2 group is ortho to the NR.sub.1 R.sub.2 group, and that R.sub.2 is acetyl w...

Stable emulsions are provided which can be either in the form of "water-in-oil" or "oil-in-water" emulsions and are obtained using a mixture of lanolin acid and at least one natural basic .alpha.-amino acid, the proportions in the mixture determining the form of the emulsion.

A compact includes a cover which is hinged to the base by a hinge which includes a helical coil spring which is tensed by closing of the cover for storing energy that forces the cover open when the cover is released for opening. The closure for the compact includes a subassembly of a button, an apertured locking element and a pair of runners which cooperate with stops in the bottom of the base so that as a locking pin in the cover passes through the aperture in the locking element, the subassemb...

The invention provides a cosmetic apparatus for storing and applying cosmetic, particularly mascara to the eyelashes, comprising a container for holding the cosmetic, an applicator for applying the cosmetic to the user and an applicator wiper disposed within the container, near the vicinity of the opening of the container, the wiper comprising a plurality of projections for removing excess cosmetic from the applicator as the applicator is withdrawn from the container. The invention also provides...

Disclosed herein is a composition for the oxidation dyeing of keratinous fibers, for example, human keratinous fibers, such as the hair, comprising, in a medium appropriate for dyeing, at least one oxidation dye and at least one polymer comprising the repetition of: (i) at least one unit derived from a monomer of acrylamide type, (ii) at least one unit derived from a monomer of dialkyldiallylammonium halide type, and (iii) at least 50 mol % of at least one unit derived from a monomer of vinylcar...

The invention relates to methods of preserving artificial color on keratin materials including applying to artificially colored keratin materials a composition containing at least one silicone film forming resin and at least one polysilicone polymer.

The present disclosure relates to a substantially dry cosmetic article for dyeing keratin materials, comprising a porous flexible substrate, and at least one direct dyes and/or direct dye precursor in powder form, which are capable of dyeing the keratin material via heat transfer, the substrate and the direct dyes or direct dye precursors being non-covalently bonded to the substrate. Disclosed herein is also a method for dyeing keratin materials, for example, human keratin materials, via dry hea...

The present disclosure relates to a cosmetic composition comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium, at least one dispersion of polymer particles in a liquid silicone medium, the polymer being a copolymer comprising at least one first block that is soluble and at least one second block that is insoluble in the silicone medium.Another aspect of the present disclosure relates to a dispersion of polymer particles in a liquid silicone medium, and also to a cosmetic process for making up, cleans...

Various embodiments of a device for applying a substance to, for example, eyelashes and/or eyebrows are disclosed. The device may include a support extending along a longitudinal axis, and a first row of teeth and a second row of teeth integrally formed as a single piece with the support. Teeth in the first and second rows of teeth may extend from a common side of the support, and the first and second rows of teeth may extend over at least one fourth of a length of the support. At least two teet...

This application relates to a dye composition for dyeing keratin fibers, for example human keratin fibers, such as hair, comprising, in an appropriate dyeing medium, at least one aldehyde precursor, at least one enzyme able to generate an aldehyde from the at least one aldehyde precursor and at least one heteroaromatic hydrazone. This application also concerns a method for dyeing keratin fibers using the dye composition, and a dye "kit" containing the dye composition.
