Succinic acid esters of resveratrol and topical compositions containing the esters.

Disclosed is a stable whitening dentifrice composition including an orally acceptable vehicle including a whitening agent, and a colorant encapsulated by a protective barrier, wherein the protective barrier suppresses migration of the colorant into the orally acceptable vehicle for a duration of time of at least about 1 day. Methods of preparing the whitening dentifrice composition and using the composition to whiten tooth surfaces are also disclosed.

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of an aqueous suspension comprising at least one calcium carbonate-comprising material, the calcium carbonate-comprising material having a ratio of particles having an average particle size d.sub.80 value to particles having an average particle size d.sub.20 value [d.sub.80/d.sub.20] in the range from 1.5 to 4 and the use of the calcium carbonate-comprising material in paper and board applications, in cosmetics, in caulks and sealants, in adhesives, in paints and coatings, in fibre applications, in plastics applications or for the replacement of PCC in general.

Compositions and methods for the treatment of skin disorders or disease are provided.

This invention relates to compositions and medical devices comprising anti-microbial active particles, for inhibiting microbial growth. This invention further provides methods of making such compositions and medical devices.

The present disclosure relates to compositions that protect the skin and hair from extreme heat (external thermal flux). The compositions include: (a) laponite; (b) one or more UV filters; (c) one or more emulsifiers; and (d) water. The compositions are useful in cosmetic, industrial, and military technologies. For instance, the compositions are useful in methods for protecting skin from intense external thermal flux (e.g., fires and explosives). When applied to the hair, the compositions are useful in methods for protecting the hair from heat damage caused by, for example, hair dryers, curling irons, straightening irons, etc.

This invention is a hydrogel capsule with a fragrance or odorant encapsulated therein during the polymerization process. The hydrogel capsule is of use in fabric care or personal care formulations.

It is one of the objects of the present disclosure to provide hexagonal prism-shaped zinc oxide particles having improved ultraviolet shielding ratio at the wavelength of 400 nm or less without impairing the direct transition properties of electronic excitation thereof and having remarkably improved ultraviolet shielding ratio for UV-B radiation and UV-A radiation; and a zinc oxide particle containing a solid solution of a Ti element and/or a Fe element and a Zn element in at least a portion thereof, and having a hexagonal prism shape.

The present invention relates to a process to modify at least part of the surface of an earth alkaline metal carbonate-containing material in a dry blending process as well as to a mineral product obtainable by the inventive process and uses thereof.

The invention relates to an oil-based cleansing product which contains abrasive particles as exfoliating substances. In one particular embodiment, salt and sugar crystals are used as exfoliating substances.
