Provided herein are a cosmetic composition, a health functional food composition, a pharmaceutical composition, and a quasi-drug composition that include ionone or a salt thereof as an active ingredient and have an effect of enhancing skin moisturizing, exfoliating skin, improving skin elasticity, inhibiting erythema, improving skin wrinkles, or alleviating skin photoaging. The ionone or the salt thereof has an activity of enhancing skin moisture content, reducing skin moisture evaporation, increasing procollagen secretion, promoting collagen biosynthesis, suppressing collagen fiber damage, suppressing collagen fiber decomposition, inhibiting erythema, and suppressing the thickening of a skin epidermis layer, and thus may be usefully used as a material of functional cosmetics, health functional foods, pharmaceuticals, quasi-drugs, or the like that provide an effect of enhancing skin moisturizing, exfoliating skin, improving skin elasticity, inhibiting erythema, improving skin wrinkles, and/or alleviating skin photoaging.

This scrub agent is in particle form with a plurality of vertices and has a median of particle size distribution set to a value in a range of from 0.1 mm to 1.0 mm.

An oral cleaning device includes a head portion that supports cleaning elements, a handle portion extending from the head portion, an EMF generator disposed in the handle portion. An inductor is located in the head portion and is connected to the EMF generator.

Described herein are aqueous abrasive oral care compositions comprising (a) 1-10 wt.% hydrogen peroxide, (b) 5-20 wt.% of calcium pyrophosphate abrasive, (c) 35-75 wt.% propylene glycol, (d) 5-20 wt.% polyvinylpyrrolidone, (e) 1-20 wt.% of a random polyethylene glycol/polypropylene glycol random copolymer. Methods of making and using these compositions are also described herein.

The present invention concerns a substrate-based product comprising a water-insoluble substrate, at least one chemical exfoliator, and at least one skin binding agent, its method of preparation and its cosmetic uses.

Provided is a degradable microparticle with a grain size in a range of 2 micrometers to 1400 micrometers, and the degradable microparticle comprises poly(glycerol sebacate), poly(glycerol maleate), poly(glycerol succinate-co-maleate), poly(glycerol succinate), poly(glycerol malonate), poly(glycerol glutarate), poly(glycerol adipate), poly(glycerol pimelate), poly(glycerol suberate), poly(glycerol azelate), or any combination thereof. A degradable product produced from the degradable microparticles can obtain the desired degradation effect and can be produced by chemical synthesis to reduce the production cost. With these advantages, the applicability of the degradable microparticles is improved.

The disclosure relates to compositions, methods, and kits for improving the appearance of the skin by applying acetyl trifluoromethylphenyl valylglycine, at least one retinoid, and optionally at least one additional skin peeling agent to the skin.

A specific recipe for soap that eliminates the extremely stubborn smell of jet fuel or other hydrocarbon liquid.

An oral care composition in the form of a toothpaste, tooth gel, dentifrice, tooth powder, prophy paste, mouthwash, rinse, tooth mousse, dental floss, chewing gum, soluble oral care strip or film for direct application or attachment to an oral surface, or lozenge for combating dental caries, erosion, hypersensitivity, and/or staining that includes an orally acceptable carrier and a copolymer of a first α,β-ethylenically unsaturated phosphate compound (A); and one or more α,β-ethylenically unsaturated co-monomers, at least one of which is other than an allyl-functional co-monomer, wherein (A) is an allyl phosphate compound of formula (A):
[CH.sub.2═CH—CH.sub.2—O(R.sup.1O).sub.a(R.sup.2O).sub.b].sub.xP(O)(OM).sub.3-x   (A)
wherein, R.sup.1 is a substituted or unsubstituted (C.sub.2-C.sub.4) alkylene moiety; R.sup.2 is a substituted or unsubstituted (C.sub.2-C.sub.4) alkylene moiety; M is identical or different, hydrogen, alkali metal, ammonium, protonated alkyl amine, protonated alkanolamine, or protonated basic amino acid; X is 1 or 2, a is from 1 to 20; and b is from 0 to 20. Methods for combating dental caries, erosion, hypersensitivity, and/or staining are also provided.

Provided herein is an oral care composition comprising an antioxidant and a surfactant system, wherein the surfactant system comprises sodium methyl cocoyl taurate in an amount of from 0.7 weight % to 1.2 weight % by total weight of the composition and optionally, a poloxamer in an amount of from 0.4 to 1.2 weight % by total weight of the composition. The composition is useful for preventing or treating periodontal disease.
