The present invention relates to a composition for skin whitening or wound treatment including liquid-type plasma, and more particularly, to a cosmetic composition for skin whitening and a pharmaceutical composition for treating and preventing skin pigmentation diseases which contain liquid-type plasma as an active ingredient. In addition, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for wound treatment, a quasi-drug composition, and a health functional food composition, which include liquid-type plasma and a growth factor as active ingredients, and a wound treatment method including a step of administering the composition to a subject or a step of applying the composition on the skin. The composition including liquid-type plasma and a growth factor of the present invention is capable of inducing the proliferation of fibroblasts, thereby exhibiting excellent wound treatment efficacy. Accordingly, the composition including liquid-type plasma and a growth factor of the present invention can be usefully applied to medicines including external preparations for wound treatment, etc.

A temporary tattoo decal including: (a) a porous paper base; (b) a water soluble slip layer or a release coating on at least a first surface of the paper base; (c) a photochromic ink layer atop the slip layer or the release coating; and (d) a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer atop the photochromic ink layer, wherein the photochromic ink layer includes at least one photochromic material that is capable of changing its color when exposed to UV radiation and a polymer matrix in which the at least one photochromic material is distributed; and wherein the polymer matrix substantially prevents the ink material from degrading when covered with a sunscreen product and inhibits the photochromic ink from washing off when the sunscreen product covering the photochromic ink layer is washed off.

Process for making up an area of human keratin materials using a makeup device including a substrate having at least one transfer surface, and a coat of cosmetic colouring ink borne by the transfer surface and obtained by printing, using at least one digital printer, and a cosmetic coating comprising an oil borne by the transfer surface. The cosmetic coating is at least partially superposed on the coat of ink and laying above and/or below the coat of ink, and the process includes the step of simultaneously transferring onto the area to be made up all or part of the coat of ink and all or part of the coating superposed thereon.

An oral irrigator handle for receiving an oral hygiene agent is described. The handle may be connected to a countertop oral irrigator or may be a portion of a handheld oral irrigator. The handle includes a chamber for receiving the oral hygiene agent, where the chamber body positioned within the fluid path of the handle. Fluid flowing into the handle, flows into the chamber, allowing the fluid to intermix with the agent, and then flows from the chamber to a tip connected to the handle.

According to some embodiments, a topical composition and method of forming the same are provided, comprising a powder complex including an active component, wherein the powder complex has a pre-defined first dosage; and a universal activator serum having a pre-defined second dosage, wherein the combination of the powder complex and the universal activator serum generates the topical composition having a third pre-defined dosage and a viscosity of 10-30K centipoise (CPS). Numerous other aspects are provided.

A film forming composition and methods for preventing acid erosion of teeth and preventing the formation of caries on teeth are disclosed. The film forming composition may include a hydrophobic copolymer, a fluoride compound, and an orally acceptable solvent. The film forming composition may also include a cellulose derivative, a rosin, a fluoride compound, and an orally acceptable solvent.

The invention aims to provide a crosslinked polymer having excellent moisture retention properties, an excellent ethanol absorption capacity, excellent adhesiveness to the skin when applied to the skin as a cosmetic, and a high concentration of an effective component. The invention relates to a N-vinyl lactam-based crosslinked polymer including: a structural unit derived from a N-vinyl lactam; and a structural unit derived from a crosslinking agent, the N-vinyl lactam-based crosslinked polymer having an ethanol absorption capacity of 3 to 40 g per 1 g of the N-vinyl lactam-based crosslinked polymer, the N-vinyl lactam-based crosslinked polymer containing a particle having an aspect ratio determined by the following method of 1.15 to 10 in a proportion of 10% to 100% (by number) of the total number of the N-vinyl lactam-based crosslinked polymer and having a proportion of an extractable of 35 mass % or less in 100 mass % of the entire polymer, the method being “method of measuring aspect ratio” in which the aspect ratio is determined as a value obtained by measuring the major and minor axes of a primary particle of the N-vinyl lactam-based cross-linked polymer with an optical or electron microscope and dividing the major axis by the minor axis.

Film forming compositions and methods for occluding dentin tubules of teeth to treat dentinal hypersensitivity of the teeth are provided. The film forming compositions may include a hydrophobic copolymer, a rosin, and an orally acceptable solvent. The hydrophobic copolymer may include an acrylate/octylacrylamide copolymer, such as 2-propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, 2-methylpropyl ester, polymer with 2-propenoic acid and N-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)-2-propenamide.
