This invention relates to compounds that treat microbial skin infections. Previously, powered forms of talk were difficult to apply to skin without becoming a lung irritant. Embodiments of the present invention use talc, lanolin, petroleum jelly, sodium lauryl ether sulfate, sodium chloride, water, sodium salicylate, Lauryl ether sulfate, Isopropyl palmitate, propylene glycol, mineral oil, and sodium benzoate.

The present disclosure discloses a composition for relieving skin itch or irritation, which contains thymol trimethoxycinnamate or a stereoisomer, salt, hydrate or solvate thereof as an active ingredient, and a method for relieving skin itch or skin irritation by administering the composition to a subject in need of reliving of skin itch or irritation. The composition according to an aspect of the present disclosure has a superior effect of relieving skin itch or skin irritation by inhibiting the voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.7 without side effects.

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.

The present invention is related to a skin care composition comprising (1) a physiologically acceptable medium and (2) a synergistic composition consisting of: a blend of a Nelumbo nucifera (Sacred Lotus) serum fraction and a Camellia sinensis (Tea) serum fraction in a respective weight ratio of 75:25; or a blend of a Nelumbo nucifera (Sacred Lotus) serum fraction and a Chamomilla recutita (German chamomile) serum fraction in a respective weight ratio of 75:25. The invention also relates to a method for improving skin appearance associated with skin aging comprising applying compositions thereof.

A depilatory wax additive and process. The depilatory wax additive may modify a depilatory hard wax composition to include visual, olfactory, or skin treatment components. A depilatory wax additive may include molded hard wax component and glitter, a color modifier, a scent modifier, or a skin treatment. A preexisting hard wax composition of solid particles may be heated to a liquid. The depilatory wax additive may be added to the liquefied preexisting hard wax composition, mixed, and heated to disperse the glitter, a color modifier, a scent modifier, or a skin treatment in the wax mixture.

A topical composition comprising an aqueous-based composition comprising cannabinoids, in particular cannabidiol, in niosomes having size lower than 500 nm, and at least one topically acceptable excipient, characterized in that said niosomes comprise (i) at least one linear or branched polyglycerol, esterified with saturated or monounsaturated linear fatty acids, (ii) at least one polysaccharide, and optionally (iii) at least one glycol having 4 to 16 carbon atoms.

The present invention relates generally to: a composition comprising or consisting of at least one avenantlrramide or an analogue thereof and 4-hydroxyacetophenone with an improved solubility; its cosmetic or medical use; the use of such composition N for the preparation of foods, food supplements, cosmetic, pharmaceutical or veterinary preparations; and foods, food supplements, cosmetic, pharmaceutical or veterinary perparations comprising such a composition. Finally, the present invention relates to 4-hydrox-yacetophenone for improving solutility of an avenantramide or an analogue thereof.

A non-antimicrobial cleansing composition is disclosed comprising from about 10.0 wt. % to less than about 40 wt. % of one or more C.sub.1-C.sub.8 alcohols; about 0.5 wt. % to about 10.0 wt. % of at least one primary surfactant; 0 wt. % to about 10.0 wt. % of at least one secondary surfactant, with the primary and secondary surfactants having an HLB value greater than 8; a pH adjusting agent; and water. The composition does not achieve a microbial kill level greater than 2.0 log.

The present invention relates generally to: a composition comprising or consisting of a specific avenanthramide and at least one penetration enhancer with an improved skin penetration; a method for preparing said composition; the use of such compositions as cosmetics or pharmaceuticals; and cosmetics or pharmaceuticals comprising said composition.

The present invention relates to skin care additive which comprises a diester skin care additive which is the reaction product of a fatty alkoxylated ester and a straight, branched or aromatic polyol or poly acid, where the skin care additive provides improved wet lubricancy and/or reduced skin irritancy. More especially, there is provided a personal hygiene product treated with the skin care additive, as such the invention also relates to providing the care additive as a coating on a personal hygiene product. The present invention may also provide use of such a personal hygiene product comprising said skin care additive to prevent or alleviate dermatitis, and in particular nappy rash.
