There is provided a new material for preventing adhesion of pollutants by forming a film on skin or on the surface of hair to prevent the skin and surface of hair from being polluted due to the pollutants. Provided is an anti-pollution material characterized by containing a lipid-peptide compound in which a peptide moiety formed from repetition of at least two amino acids which are the same or different binds to a lipid moiety comprising an aliphatic group having 10-24 carbon atoms.

A stable shampoo composition that contains a surfactant system with anionic and amphoteric surfactants, a cationic polymer having a charge density of 1.7 meq/g to 2.1 meq/g, and 1% to 1.5% inorganic salt.

Provided is a composition for preventing hair loss and promoting hair growth, containing an ingredient for inducing anagen hair growth or hair growth promotion. The composition for preventing hair loss and promoting hair growth, of the presently claimed subject matter, shortens the period of telogen-to-anagen transition in the hair growth cycle, so as to promote hair growth and delay the transition to the catagen stage, thereby having the excellent effects of preventing hair loss and promoting hair growth.

The present disclosure provides a composition comprising (a) exosome-like nanovesicles or exosomes and (b) a carrier, wherein the exosome-like nanovesicles or exosomes are extracted from Withania somnifera and methods of effecting a change in hair appearance, hair growth, hair pigmentation, hair follicle size or hair shaft size, comprising administering to the skin of a subject in need thereof an effective amount of such a composition.

The present invention is a cosmetic containing a silicone resin whose constitutional units consist of general formulae (A) (R.sup.1.sub.3SiO.sub.1/2)a, (B) (R.sup.2.sub.2SiO.sub.2/2)b, (C) (R.sup.3SiO.sub.3/2) c, and (D) (SiO.sub.4/2) d, where R.sup.1, R.sup.2, and R.sup.3 each independently represent a group selected from an alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, an aryl group having 6 to 12 carbon atoms, and a fluorine-substituted alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, “a” has a value of 0.2 to 0.5, “b” has a value of 0.0 to 0.1, “c” has a value of 0.2 to 0.6, “d” has a value of 0.2 to 0.5, a+b+c+d has a value of 1.0, a/(c+d) has a value of 0.3 to 0.9, and c/d has a value of 0.4 to 3.0, the silicone resin having a weight-average molecular weight of more than 20000 and 100000 or less. An object of the present invention is to provide accordingly a cosmetic that has no stickiness upon application, has excellent cosmetic durability, and can prevent adhesion to clothes or the like (secondary adhesion).
