The present invention provides compositions, methods and kits for treating skin, which combine administration of glucosamine hydrochloride and red light having a peak wavelength of about 600 nm to about 750 nm, near infrared light having a peak wavelength of about 750 nm to about 1000 nm, or both.

The present invention relates to a formed fabric which contains cellulose fibers, which contain zinc oxide particles which are at least partially incorporated and which is additionally impregnated with a liquid, and to a method of its production and to its use, in particular for manufacturing preservative-free, moist wet wipes.

Disclosed is a pharmaceutical or cosmetic composition or medical device for topical use including: a) a cosmetically or pharmaceutically active substance; b) a polyvinylcaprolactam/polyvinyl acetate/polyethylene glycol copolymer; and c) a phospholipid. Also disclosed is a method for treatment incorporating such a composition.

A method for producing a wearable coating having a solid material fixed on skin, the method comprising: A) a step of placing one or more solid materials selected from the group consisting of a powder, a granule, a film, a fiber, a flat material, and a cubic material other than these, on a skin surface; B) a step of, after the step A), electrostatically spraying a composition X comprising the following component (a) and the following component (b) directly on the skin to thereby form a coating on the skin surface: (a) one or more volatile substances selected from the group consisting of water, an alcohol, and a ketone, and (b) a polymer having a coating forming ability; and after the step B) or before the step A), C) a step of applying a composition Y, other than the composition X, comprising one or more components selected from the group consisting of the following component (c) and the following component (d) to the skin: (c) an adhesive polymer, and (d) an oil.

The present invention protects a disposable hygienic article characterized in that it has a formulation that promotes the skin care through the use of natural compounds such as the cane wax extract, which has pharmacological properties such as healing and anti-inflammatory, the formulation may also contain agents that helps neutralize unpleasant odors such as chlorophyll, an antimicrobial agent such as grapefruit seeds extract and a fragrance.

A dispersion of cerium oxide according to an embodiment of the present disclosures shows excellent effects of enhancing the skin barrier, skin moisturizing and/or blocking fine dust, and a cosmetic composition comprising same. The dispersion of cerium oxide may be a combination of cerium oxide and a specific dispersion medium and as such, can exhibit effects of moisturizing the skin and blocking fine dust while strengthening the skin barrier, and a cosmetic composition comprising the dispersion of cerium oxide as an active ingredient.

Provided is a more effective dental synbiotic lozenge that is intra-orally adhesive. The lozenge contains adhesive prebiotics and excipients, and one or more species of probiotic organisms. While safely adhered to an intra-oral surface, the lozenge dissolves to provide a controlled time-release of the excipients, prebiotics, and probiotic organisms over a period of hours instead of minutes. The lozenge dissolves into a malleable biofilm that includes a natural biofilm formed by the prebiotics and a supplemental biofilm formed by the excipients. The lozenge can be used while sleeping, which can increase probiotic availability exponentially. The result is a lozenge that allows for a smaller, but more diverse, microbial payload that can grow over time such that a fewer number of organisms are needed from the start. In one embodiment, the lozenge contains adhesive prebiotics acacia and inulin, along with additional excipients microcrystalline cellulose, HPMC K15, and sodium alginate.

A sunscreen composition is provided. The sunscreen composition includes non-nano zinc oxide, a carrier, and a component selected from the group consisting of a humectant, a thickener, a dispersing agent, an emulsifier, an emollient, a preservative, an antioxidant, an odorant, and combinations thereof. The sunscreen composition complies with the natural product standard governed by Cosmetics Organic and Natural Standard (non-profit) (“COSMOS-standard AISBL”).

The present invention relates to articles of manufacture having a formulation distributed therein, wherein the formulation comprises an active agent which manifests a desirable property when released from the articles of manufacture. The present invention also relates to methods for manufacturing these articles of manufacture, to vehicles for applying the formulation to these articles of manufacture, and to perception indicators indicating the presence and the amount of formulation comprising an active agent applied to an article of manufacture.

Sodium hypochlorite-based compositions that are non-toxic and have antimicrobial and cleansing properties may include from about 0.025% to about 10% by weight of sodium hypochlorite. For example, the compositions may include less than 1% by weight of sodium hypochlorite (e.g., less than 0.5% by weight of sodium hypochlorite). The compositions may further include sodium laureth sulfate, cocamidopropyl betaine, cocamide MEA, disodium EDTA, and deionized water. Such compositions may be applied externally to a mammalian body through rinse-off or leave-on applications. Compositions also may be incorporated as a component of other products, such as deodorants, towelettes, or powders.
