Provided is a composition for improving wrinkles including a high-content/sustained-release retinoid capsule. The high-content/sustained-release retinoid capsule according to the presently claimed subject matter can minimize skin side effects and maximize wrinkle improvement effects by significantly increasing the retinoid content in the capsule and stability and controlling the release rate.

A surfactant-free cosmetic composition is disclosed. The composition is a stable water in silicone oil (W/S) formulation containing a silicone oil phase portion and an aqueous phase portion, wherein the silicone oil phase portion contains an emollient having a pyrrolidone carboxylic acid group, oil-absorbing powder and silicone oil, and the aqueous phase portion contains 50 wt.% or more of water based on the total weight of the surfactant-free cosmetic composition. The composition may further contain a high content of vitamin C or a vitamin C derivative and has improved long term storage stability.

A flowpack for oral delivery of active ingredients comprises a population of particles and one or more active ingredients, the population of particles including at least two types of sugar alcohol particles, wherein at least one of said two types of sugar alcohol particles comprises granulated sugar alcohol particles.

Provided is a water-based cosmetic that excels in adhesion, quick-drying property, spreadability without causing uneven application, and easiness of fine control of color density. A water-based cosmetic contains 2 to 18% by mass of a water-insoluble water absorbent polymer; 15 to 95% by mass of water; and 0.5 to 45% by mass of a powder, the water-based cosmetic having a penetration of 0.1 N or larger, where the penetration being hardness measured by using a pressure sensing shaft with a 10-mm-diameter spherical end, at a penetration speed of 6 cm/min, an insertion depth of 10 mm, and a temperature of 25° C.

The present invention provides an oral care composition, containing at least 0.5% by weight of silica agglomerates, wherein each of the silica agglomerates has: (i) an overall particle size from 200 μm to 2000 μm, and (ii) a crush strength from 0.1N to 5N. The silica particles that make up the silica agglomerate can have an average particle size from 1 μm to 50 μm. The composition can have a viscosity from 10 to 90 BKU. The present invention also provides a method of encouraging proper tooth cleaning by administering the oral care composition of the present invention to a subject's tooth surface. The present invention further provides the use of a silica agglomerate in manufacturing an oral care composition for encouraging proper tooth cleaning.

The present invention provides amphiphilic polymer particles which are formed from a naturally derived starting material and exhibit hydrophobicity, while maintaining an adequate water absorption. An amphiphilic alginic acid particle group which is obtained by subjecting a polyvalent metal salt of alginic acid to a hydrophobization treatment with use of a hydrophobizing agent, wherein: some metal ions in the polyvalent metal salt of alginic acid are hydrophobized through a chemical bond with the hydrophobizing agent; the contact angle at 30 seconds after dropping a water droplet on the particle group is from 300 to 150°; and the water absorption per 100 g of the particles is not less than the oil absorption per 100 g of the particles.

The present invention can provide a method for preparing a fermented nano-emulsifier composition comprising a product obtained by fermenting an oil with a skin flora, and a skin-friendly composition by minimizing the contents of synthetic raw materials according to such a method. Further, it is possible to improve an emulsification power by forming a nano-emulsion in a size of nm, to be adopted to various formulations by enhancing stability of the composition, and to be easily applied to various formulations requiring a function of hypoallergenic skin due to minimization of the skin irritation.

Disclosed are compositions that include a combination of natural tooth powder ingredients pressed into tablet form, and methods of making the composition, and to methods of enhancing dental hygiene that includes administration of the composition. The compositions include natural ingredients such as xylitol and at least one tooth cleaning agent, and can be formed into a tablet suitable for cleaning the teeth without the use of a toothbrush or water.
