The present invention includes pourable, non-toxic lubricating compositions containing carrageenan and more precisely carrageenan as an anti-viral agent, for protection from Human Papillomavirus (HPV), and methods of using the lubricating compositions as a non-oily, psuedoplastic lubrication product and administering the carrageenan for reducing the propagation of HPV during sexual activity.

The present disclosure relates to compositions containing a natural extract(s) and their fraction(s) and the use of such compositions for treatment of skin, hair and nail. For example, the present disclosure relates to compositions containing an aqueous extract of (i) Yacn leave, (ii) Amor Seco leave, or (iii) Porphyridium biomass, or a combination thereof and a pharmaceutically or cosmetically acceptable carrier use on hair skin and nails for cosmetic purposes.

The present invention provides novel compositions for suppressing or improving hair loss, and compositions for suppressing or improving graying. More specifically, it provides agents that stabilize type XVII collagen expression, preferably agents that suppress the degradation of type XVII collagen by ELANE inhibitors and such, and compositions comprising a DNA repair-promoting agent or a DNA damage-suppressing agent as an active ingredient. Advantageous suppressive effects of hair loss and graying can be obtained when a composition comprising as an active ingredient a suppressive agent of type XVII collagen degradation such as an ELANE inhibitor is administered to a mammal. For the ELANE inhibitors, suppressive agents of type XVII collagen degradation and DNA repair-promoting agents, low-molecular compounds, polypeptides, proteins, antibodies, or nucleic acid medicine such as antisense oligos or siRNAs may be used. A method of screening for effective substances for suppression of hair loss and graying is also provided.
