Disclosed herein are methods of producing aqueous dispersions comprising insoluble alpha-glucan having at least 50% alpha-1,3 glycosidic linkages. For example, in addition to dispersing insoluble alpha-glucan that has never been dried, methods are disclosed for effectively dispersing insoluble alpha-glucan that has previously been dried. Further disclosed are aqueous dispersions comprising insoluble alpha-glucan, such as those produced by the disclosed methods. Aqueous dispersions of the present disclosure have enhanced features of viscosity, stability, and particle size distribution, for example. Application of aqueous dispersions in various products and uses are also disclosed.

A novel an agent for maintaining or promoting collagen productivity is provided with.

An agent for maintaining or promoting collagen productivity of cells, comprising a wavelength conversion substance as an active ingredient; a composition and a product comprising the agent for maintaining or promoting collagen productivity; and a method for maintaining or promoting collagen productivity by means thereof are provided with. The present invention can exhibit a desirable effect on skin by effectively making use of ultraviolet light to maintain or promoting collagen productivity in skin cells.

The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising in a physiologically acceptable medium an extract of pomegranate and an extract of peony.

The present disclosure relates to compositions comprising an aqueous solution of at least about 70% by weight water in combination with selected fatty acid salts and optionally an alcohol and/or a cooling sensate, as well as methods of using the same to treat symptoms of hot flashes. The fatty acid salts form fiber-like crystalline particles that together form a self-supporting mesh structure with voids, the aqueous solution being contained in the voids. When the composition is compressed above a critical stress, the mesh allows for the entrapped aqueous solution to be expressed.
