A method for preparing Ganoderma lucidum extract using an eco-friendly extraction technique is disclosed. A Ganoderma lucidum extract prepared thereby and a cosmetic composition containing the extract, and their uses are disclosed. The extraction technique use an aqueous cyclodextrin solution alone or in combination with ultrasonic extraction to afford a Ganoderma lucidum extract containing a high concentration of the effective ingredient triterpenoid.

A method for producing a nonaqueous composition for external use on the skin including a strongly hydrophilic amphiphilic solid active ingredient-surfactant complex dissolved or dispersed in an oil phase, the method including the steps of: dissolving a surfactant in an oil phase to obtain a surfactant solution; mixing the obtained surfactant solution with a strongly hydrophilic amphiphilic solid active ingredient to obtain a suspension; and allowing the obtained suspension to stand still to obtain a transparent composition. Unlike conventional methods for preparing S/O formulations, the strongly hydrophilic amphiphilic solid active ingredient can be solubilized in an oil phase without the process of emulsification and freeze drying.

A device for treating hair or scalp, the device comprises a dispenser connected to a cartridge, wherein the cartridge comprises a formulation; a plurality of tips, wherein the tips have at least one opening to dispense the formulation; and a controller that controls the amount of formulation that is dispensed from the tips.

The present invention relates to a transdermal delivery complex using a metal-organic framework (MOF) and a triblock copolymer. In addition, the present invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising the transdermal delivery complex and a method for preparing a transdermal delivery complex.

In an ultraviolet-shielding particle coated with silicon oxide of the present invention, a surface of the ultraviolet-shielding particle is coated with a silicon oxide coat, at least one functional group selected from the group consisting of an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, and a cycloalkyl group is present on a surface of the silicon oxide coat, and a content of the functional group is 0.0001% by mass or more and 0.30% by mass or less.

A natural human shaker hair is offered to be efficiently applied to the balding spots and thinning areas of a user's scalp. The shaker hair comprises 100% natural human hairs and does not include any chemicals and/or man-made materials. The shaker hair is statically charged with negative electricity to not only allow easy application to the affected areas, but also cling to the user's scalp and existing hair. Thus, the shaker hair creates root lift and substantial kickstand support to the existing long hair of the user, and helps the user with desired styling. Further, an innovative method of making the all-natural human shaker hair is provided. The method prepares the shaker hair by cutting natural human hairs into hair granules and charging the hair granules with a charging machine. The resulting shaker hair charged with statically negative charge is placed into hair shakers and ready for use.

The present invention provides compositions comprising energy (e.g., light) absorbing submicron particles (e.g., nanoparticles comprising a silica core and a gold shell) and methods for delivering such particles via topical application. This delivery is facilitated by application of mechanical agitation (e.g. massage), acoustic vibration in the range of 10 Hz-20 kHz, ultrasound, alternating suction and pressure, and microjets. The method of treatment is performed and then, depending upon the desired clinical outcome, repeated after a treatment response interval has elapsed.

A plant composition, a preparation method and an application thereof. The plant composition comprises the following components in parts by weight: 20-60 parts of lemon eucalyptus, 3-20 parts of lavender, and 2-15 parts of mint. By means of adjusting the content of lemon eucalyptus, lavender and peppermint, a synergistic effect among said three components is expressed, ensuring a repellent effect while repellent time is prolonged; introducing the plant composition into skin care products enhances a repellent effect while being safe and non-irritating.

Compositions contain boron nitride nanomaterials at least partially coated with biomolecules.

Disclosed is a method of preventing or treating a condition of the gastrointestinal tract. The method includes the steps of providing a DNA repair composition, the DNA repair composition comprising at least one DNA repair enzyme, the DNA repair composition configured for administration within the gastrointestinal tract of a patient; and administering the DNA repair composition to the patient, such that the DNA repair composition is absorbed within the gastrointestinal tract of the patient to treat the condition of the gastrointestinal tract.
