A dermal skin protectant and carrier comprising a combination of two different viscosity dimethicone components, wherein the difference between the two different viscosity dimethicone components is about 2.0 million cP or greater; and comprising at least one active ingredient.

The present disclosure provides a resin composition, an adhesive-dropping material, an adhesive-pressing material, and a preparation method and application thereof. The resin composition comprises the following components: an ester-based prepolymer; a reactive diluent; and a photoinitiator; wherein the addition amount of the ester-based prepolymer is 60 to 80 parts by weight, the addition amount of the reactive diluent is 15 to 30 parts by weight, and the addition amount of the photoinitiator is 1 to 5 parts by weight, based on the part by weight. The artificial nail prepared by using the resin composition, the adhesive-dropping material, and the adhesive-pressing material according to the present disclosure has high mimicry. When in use, the artificial nail which is not completely hardened may be attached to the surface of the real nail and then hardened by UV light, so that the artificial nail is more conformable.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium, at least one water-insoluble solid organic UV-screening agent (A) at least one compound (B) that may be obtained by reaction between: an oil bearing at least one nucleophilic and/or electrophilic reactive function, and a junction group capable of establishing hydrogen bonds with one or more partner junction groups, each junction group pairing involving at least 3 hydrogen bonds, the said junction group bearing at least one reactive function capable of reacting with the reactive function borne by the oil, the said junction group also comprising at least one unit of formula (I) or (II): in which: R1 and R3, which may be identical or different, represent a divalent carbon-based radical; R2 represents a hydrogen atom or a linear, branched or cyclic, saturated or unsaturated, optionally aromatic, C1-C32 carbon-based and especially hydrocarbon-based radical, which may comprise one or more heteroatoms chosen from O, N, S, F, Si and P. ##STR00001##

Provided herein are non-naturally occurring polypeptides comprising a sequence of a fragment of a collagen and recombinant cells containing heterologous nucleic acid sequences encoding the non-naturally occurring polypeptides. Further provided herein are animal-free methods of generating and purifying such non-naturally occurring polypeptides using microorganisms, preferably from bacterial cells.

The present invention provides a polymer compound peeling agent usable for peeling as many types of polymer compounds as possible and capable of reducing a burden required for a peeling treatment when a polymer compound having adhered to an adhesion object is peeled. The polymer compound peeling agent for peeling a polymer compound having adhered to an adhesion object contains a photoresponsive liquid crystal material having a phase structure reversibly transitioning between an isotropic phase and a liquid crystal phase due to photoisomerization based on irradiation lights of different wavelengths. When the polymer compound is adhered to the adhesion object, the photoresponsive liquid crystal material is contained in the polymer compound with the phase structure set to the isotropic phase, and the phase structure of the photoresponsive liquid crystal material is allowed to transition from the isotropic phase to the liquid crystal phase by photoisomerization based on the light irradiation.

A topical composition comprising a non-denatured, broken-up and dried Porphyridium biomass that is not further processed and a pharmaceutically or cosmetically acceptable carrier useful for cosmetic treatments is described.
