Disclosed herein is a topical composition that treats and reduces the visual appearance of a scar through the combination of a hydrophobic occlusion forming agent with one or more proteolytic enzymes and an antioxidant system that includes antioxidant polyphenols (e.g., green tea polyphenols). Also disclosed herein are methods of administering the topical compositions described herein for treating and/or reducing the visual appearance of a scar by themselves or as part of a scar treatment regimen in combination with a variety of dermatological procedures. Processes of preparing the topical compositions disclosed herein are also described in certain embodiments.

[Summary]

The present invention relates to an anti-allergy functional food composition, a cosmetic, and a percutaneous external agent containing mastic oil as an active component.

[Means for Solving the invention]

An anti-allergy functional food composition, characterized by containing a mastic component as an immunosuppressive participating component.

Disclosed is an efficacious, low-pH skin care composition that provides good sensory properties and has a low skin irritation potential. The low-pH composition includes an effective amount of a vitamin B.sub.3 compound and, optionally, one or more additional skin care actives to provide a skin health and/or appearance benefit. The low-pH composition also includes a pH buffer comprising lactic acid and sodium lactate, a polymer thickener comprising polyacrylate crosspolymer-6, and a silicone fluid having a kinematic viscosity of 100 cSt or less at 25 C. The pH of the low-pH composition can range from 2.0 to 5.0.

A composition is disclosed that includes pure silk fibroin-based protein fragments that are substantially devoid of sericin, wherein the composition has an average weight average molecular weight ranging from about 17 kDa to about 38 kDa, wherein the composition has a polydispersity of between about 1.5 and about 3.0, wherein the composition is substantially homogeneous, wherein the composition between 0 ppm to about 500 ppm of inorganic residuals, and wherein the composition includes between 0 ppm to about 500 ppm of organic residuals.

A traditional Chinese medicine plant composition, comprising in parts by weight: 20-60 parts of Astragalus membranacus, 10-30 parts of Radix sileris, 10-30 parts of Rhizoma gastrodiae, 5-20 parts of Calendula officinalis, and 5-15 parts of Albizzia julibrissin. The traditional Chinese medicine plant composition has functions of relieving allergies, anti-Allergy itching, eliminating redness and swelling, and allergy recovery, and is safe and does not cause irritation, can be used in skin care products. The traditional Chinese medicine plant composition is prepared by crushing plant raw materials and then extracting same.

A transdermal formulation which can be applied to the skin, body, face using a combination of glutathione, in the presence of a wide range of active components while increasing permeation of active antioxidant agents. A therapeutically effective amount creates in the patient (i) regulation of sleep, (ii) increased energy during awake periods, (iii) improved concentration during awake periods, (iv) reduction of facial wrinkles, and (v) reduction of joint and muscular pain with increases by at least 10 percent of the ability of skin to retain moisture and totally absorb the glutathione without requiring injection or oral supplementation of the glutathione.

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for alleviating or treating hair loss through the inflammation amelioration of human dermal papilla cells and peripheral cells and the inhibition of 5?-reductase expression, the pharmaceutical composition comprising genistein and kaempferol as active ingredients.

Disclosed is an efficacious, low-pH skin care composition that provides good sensory properties and has a low skin irritation potential. The low-pH composition includes an effective amount of a vitamin B.sub.3 compound and, optionally, one or more additional skin care actives to provide a skin health and/or appearance benefit. The low-pH composition also includes a pH buffer comprising lactic acid and sodium lactate, a polymer thickener comprising polyacrylate crosspolymer-6, and a silicone fluid having a kinematic viscosity of 100 cSt or less at 25? C. The pH of the low-pH composition can range from 2.0 to 5.0.

The invention relates to aqueous, high active, self-preserving composition of mild surfactants which are used to create transparent liquid formulations with pH similar to skin's pH. More specifically, the composition comprise of sodium/potassium acyl isethionate of Formula I and mono potassium acyl glutamate of Formula II with solids content of at least 45 w/w, for personal care formulation that are ultra-mild, with skin pH and transparent.

In some embodiments, soothing redness correction formulations are provided. In other embodiments, formulations to treat skin discoloration via a multi-modal approach are provided in some embodiments in which select ingredients work together to effectively brighten skin and treat hyperpigmentation. In yet other embodiments, certain formulations are renewal formulations adapted to treat the eye area to, for example, reduce laxity, puffiness, wrinkles and/or dark circles around the eye.
