A topical skin composition is disclosed. The topical skin composition can include a Bougainvillea glabra extract, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, tocopherol, phenoxyethanol, sodium hydroxide, and ethylhexylglycerin.

The present invention relates to non-toxic consumable compositions and formulations comprising chelator and base having synergistic effects on microbial metabolism and/or growth and/orpathogenic effectors and their use to promote and maintain health in mammals. The current invention also relates to non-toxic consumable compositions comprising more than one chelator and/or more than one base. The present invention further relates to methods for selecting said chelator and base composition and methods for detecting conditions in which selected compositions may be used. The present invention relates to the synergistic compositions and methods of their use for maintaing health, promoting health and treating diseases.

A method for treating skin of a person is disclosed. The method can include topically applying to the skin of the person a composition comprising an effective amount of an aqueous, alcoholic, or aqueous-alcoholic extract from Bougainvillea glabra, wherein the composition reduces tyrosinase activity or melanin production in the skin.

The present invention is directed to a hair care composition having an effective amount of a 2-pyridinol-N-oxide material and an effective amount of an iron chelator; wherein the combination of the iron chelator and the 2-pyridinol-N-oxide material provides high anti-fungal efficacy.

A method for treating skin of a person is disclosed. The method can include topically applying to the skin of the person a composition comprising an effective amount of an aqueous, alcoholic, or aqueous-alcoholic extract from Ficus retusa ssp. nitida, wherein the composition reduces tyrosinase activity or melanin production in the skin.

Disclosed is a dissolvable solid article, comprising by weight of the article: from about 10% to about 50% of a water soluble polymer; from about 20% to about 80% of a surfactant; from about 0.5% to about 2% of diaminocarboxylic acid chelants and salts thereof having an average molecular weight in acid form of from about 250 to about 450 daltons and having a weighted log P value at pH 4 of from about −12 to about −7; from about 0.1% to about 6% of an aromatic carboxylic acid and salts thereof having an average molecular weight in acid form of from about 100 to about 400 daltons and having a weighted log P value at pH 4 of from about −2 to about 4; from about 0.1% to about 18% of an non-aromatic organic alpha hydroxy acid and salts thereof; wherein the dissolvable solid article has a pH of from about 3 to about 5.1 when dissolved with 30 parts water to 1 part of the dissolvable solid article. The present invention provides dissolvable solid articles which provide anti-bacterial benefit even after dissolution of the articles, while controlling the concentration of anti-bacterial active ingredients in the solid articles.

The present invention relates to a sunscreen cosmetic for application to a user's skin. The sunscreen cosmetic is provided with a mineral including zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, or a combination of both. The sunscreen cosmetic also includes a high buffering-capacity agent configured to react with an external acidic source coming in contact with the cosmetic and to inhibit release of zinc ions from the zinc oxide and/or to inhibit release of titanium ions from the titanium dioxide.

Disclosed is a method for treating skin. The method can include topically applying to skin a composition comprising an effective amount of an aqueous, alcoholic, aqueous-alcoholic, or oil-soluble extract from Condurango, wherein the Condurango extract reduces oxidation in the skin, reduces tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) activity in the skin, or reduces matrix metalloprotease (MMP) 3 activity in the skin.

A hair care composition that removes calcium fatty carboxylate salts from the hair and scalp is provided. The hair care composition includes a calcium chelant, an anionic surfactant, a hydrotrope, a carrier, and optionally a zwitterionic surfactant.
