The present invention relates to a cosmetic for application to a user's skin. The cosmetic is provided with a colorant including iron oxides. The cosmetic also includes a high buffering-capacity agent configured to react with an external acidic source coming in contact with the cosmetic and to inhibit release of iron ions from the iron oxides.

The present invention is related to the field of liquid disinfectant formulas, specifically with obtaining disinfectant compositions applicable to hard and smooth surfaces, porous surfaces and for human use; particularly with disinfectant compositions that allow the surface or surfaces where it is applied, a disinfection with a prolonged effect, for periods greater than 24 hours. More particularly with the use of long-lasting disinfectant compounds, some of them approved by international agencies such as the EPA, and which are also approved by the FDA for cosmetic use due to their low or null toxicity. More particularly, the present invention relates to the formulation of said compositions.

Disclosed herein is a scalp protection composition that includes a carboxylate compound, an emulsifier, and water. The carboxylate compound is represented by formula (I):

##STR00001##

In formula (I), R.sup.1 represents a C.sub.4-C.sub.8 alkyl group, and R.sup.2 represents a C.sub.10-C.sub.26 alkyl group.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising probiotics, preferably based on bacteria, in particular of the genus Lactobacillus, to be used for the purpose of preventing and/or treating the disorders affecting the skin, in particular inflammatory disorders, in particular autoinflammatory disorders of dermatological interest such as atopic dermatitis. Furthermore, the composition of the invention is useful for preventing and/or reducing the damage induced by UV radiation, in particular skin aging.

The invention relates to cosmetic and dermatological preparations which comprise a combination of levulinic acid and anisic acid. The preparations according to the invention are particularly suitable for use on skin. The preparations have a selective antibacterial effect on skin by specifically controlling anaerobic bacteria of the skin flora while having little or no bactericidal effect on aerobic bacteria. The compositions according to the invention are therefore suitable for cosmetic skin care and for the dermatological treatment of certain skin disorders, such as acne.

An aqueous skin-compatible antimicrobial solution effective against yeasts and mycobacteria, comprises 2-3.8 wt % of at least one peroxygen; from 1.5 up to 7 wt % of at least one aromatic monohydroxy alcohol selected from phenoxyethanol, phenethyl alcohol, cyclopentylmethanol, cyclohexylmethanol, benzyl alcohol, or any mixture thereof; from 0.5 up to 5 wt % of at least one high foaming amine oxide amphoteric surfactant; from 2 up to 10 wt % of at least one polyol-based skin conditioning agent; an effective amount of at least one pH adjusting agent for adjusting the solution pH to 2-3. The solution has a redox potential value from 220 to 280 mV, is readily biodegradable, and is free of aromatic carboxylic acids, inorganic salts, quaternary ammonium compounds, volatile aliphatic monohydroxy alcohols, other volatile organic compounds, halogen containing compounds, and other antimicrobial agents.
