A cosmetic product, system and method that creates a temporary, semipermanent, stubble-like appearance to bald or balding areas of the human head and face where facial hair typically grows. The bald or balding areas are covered in an oil to accept a pigment material, such as activated charcoal, applied to a desired area. The pigment material is then covered with a sealing agent and waterproofing agent to prevent smudging and enable the user to expose the covered area to water without losing the effect.

A shaving aid including a lubricant and an antioxidant in accordance with general formula (I). Also provided is shaving aid including a lubricant and an antioxidant in accordance with general formula (I), in which the lubricant includes a water soluble polymer with an initial molecular weight of at least 1,000,000 g/mol. The water soluble polymer exhibits a molecular weight loss of less than 500,000 g/mol within a predefined time period.

The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising: from 30% to 89% by weight of at least one polar oil with respect to the total weight of the composition; from 6% to 45% by weight of at least one C.sub.2-C.sub.6 aliphatic monoalcohol with respect to the total weight of the composition; from 4% to 30% by weight of hexylene glycol with respect to the total weight of the composition; from 8% to 40% by weight of dipropylene glycol with respect to the total weight of the composition; and at least one hydrophilic active agent, said composition containing less than 15% by weight of water with respect to the total weight of the composition.

Unique foamable vehicles or carriers comprising at least one wax, waxy substance, counterpart or derivative, a stabilizer, water, and a propellant are provided. In some embodiments, the wax is a liquid wax. In some embodiments, the wax includes a solid wax and a liquid wax. The compositions are substantially free of crystals. The components are selected to provide a composition that is substantially resistant to aging and to phase separation, and/or can substantially solubilize and or stabilize active ingredients. Pharmaceutical and cosmetic compositions with potentially enhanced skin delivery and their uses are also provided.

A method for the color retention of dyed keratin fibers is provided herein. The method includes i. applying a cosmetic composition to dyed keratin fibers as a pretreatment agent for keratin. The method further includes ii. subjecting the keratin fibers to a dyeing and/or brightening within a period of about 5 seconds to about 24 hours after to step i. The cosmetic composition has, based on its own weight, from about 0.01 to about 4.00% by weight of at least one alum and a pH value in the range of about 2.5 to about 5.

A method for strengthening and repairing keratin fibres including providing a caustic as well as an acidic crosslinking composition, wherein the caustic crosslinking composition comprises an at least bi-functional Brønsted-base and the acidic crosslinking composition comprises an at least bi-functional organic acid, and a cosmetically acceptable carrier; applying the caustic as well as the acidic crosslinking composition to keratin fibres; and optionally mixing the caustic crosslinking composition into a commercially available hair colouring or hair bleaching composition.

Described herein is a shampoo composition and methods of using the same, the shampoo composition including a copper chelant, a detersive surfactant, and a carrier.
