Skin care compositions are provided which contain thermus thermophiles ferment and silybin and provide anti-aging and reparative effect for skin. The compositions may also include one or more additional substances selected from carnosine, adenosine and CG-EDP3. The substances are dispersed in an aqueous carrier, such as water, to be applied to the skin in a spreadable form.

The disclosure relates to a cosmetic product, comprising a) a cosmetic preparation, containing, in relation to its total weight, a1) about 45 to about 95 wt. % of at least one polar solvent; a2) about 0.1 to about 25 wt. % of at least one solid material; b) a device for flash evaporation of the cosmetic preparation a), and to a method using corresponding products and to the use of the cosmetic preparation a) as process material in a device for flash evaporation.

A dental bleaching composition comprises a dental bleaching agent and a polyvinylpyrrolidone thickening agent. The bleaching composition may include a liquid component, flavoring agents, a basic substance and desensitizing agents, as desired. Polyvinylpyrrolidone avoids acid etching and chelation of teeth that were problematic in bleaches using carbomer as a thickener. A delivery system for delivering the bleaching composition comprises the aforementioned dental bleaching composition in combination with a moisture-resistant barrier layer such as a dental tray or a flexible strip of material.

The invention relates to fragrance mixtures comprising at least one 60 wt.-% fragrance molecules which are characterized such that they are oriented along a virtual axis X, Y and Z, having a dimension of X>5 angstrom, Y>3 angstrom and angstrom.

Disclosed is a cosmetic composition for, e.g., use on eyelashes, that includes a latex polymer and a polyhydroxyalkanoate, where the polyhydroxyalkanoate is present in the composition in a total amount of between about 1% and about 5% by weight, and the monomers of the polyhydroxyalkanoate have carbon chain lengths of between 3 and 5.

Hypotonic formulations of hydrogel forming polymers, preferably poloxamers, have been developed for enhanced delivery through mucosa of therapeutic, diagnostic, prophylactic or other agents, to epithelial tissues, especially those having a mucosal coating. The polymers are administered at a concentration above, at or less than their critical gelling concentration (CRC) under isotonic conditions. The hypo tonicity of the formulation is adjusted so that the polymer gels at the lower concentration. A Poloxamer gel administered into the vagina or colorectal at its CRC will form a “plug” of gel in the lumen.
