A low-water cleansing composition is provided that includes 5.0 wt. % to less than 40 wt. % of one or more C.sub.1-C.sub.8 alcohol, at least 10.0 wt. % of a mixture of two or more surfactants, at least 0.05 wt. % of a pH adjuster; and water, the concentrations being based on a total weight of the low-water cleansing composition.

A water based composition contains a sugar based delivery system, coemulsifiers, a positively charged molecule, oil, optional auxiliary materials, and optional lipophilic active ingredients. The composition is encapsulated to be used in personal care products including cosmetics. The composition is penetrating into the skin and is, depending on the active included, able to stabilize the substance and reduce its irritation potential.

The present invention concerns the use of selected compounds in a cosmetic skincare treatment or in the treatment of certain skin, scalp or mucosal diseases. The invention also provides a composition for topical use incorporating a pharmaceutically or cosmetically effective amount of a compound for preventing or treating skin or mucosal diseases having an inflammatory component or for reducing the redness or irritation of skin or mucosae.

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.

A method of selecting a skin barrier system suitable for infants and young children is disclosed.

The present disclosure is related to a method of treating and concealing a skin defect in a subject. The method comprises applying a makeup composition to the skin defect, wherein the makeup composition comprises silicone and/or a purified natural remedy and a coloring agent, wherein the makeup composition simultaneously conceals and treats said skin defect. Makeup compositions and kits for treating and concealing skin defects are also disclosed.

The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition having an excellent anti-inflammatory effect, thereby enabling effective prevention or treatment of inflammatory diseases such as reperfusion injury, periodontitis, arthritis, pressure sore inflammation, wound inflammation or dermatitis, and provides an anti-inflammatory cosmetic composition to be used as a raw material of cosmetic products that can be used for various inflammatory skin diseases.
