A fermented pollen-based composition is provided which is made by treating pollen grains with one or more natural potassium sources selected from coconut water, coconut milk, raw honey, or honeydew honey, to naturally stimulate germination of the pollen, then incubating the germinated pollen, optionally with one or more additional components selected from beeswax, oils, enzyme-containing components derived from fruit, and probiotic components, wherein the resulting composition comprises a plurality of bioactive components selected from low molecular weight peptides, fatty acids, esterified flavonoids, dicaffeoyl quinic acid isomers and dicaffeoyl tartaric acid ester or ether compounds. Topical skin compositions including the fermented pollen-based composition as an active ingredient are also provided.

Disclosed is a complex including at least one lactoferrin and at least one silica having a specific surface area included between 100 m2/g and 1000 m2/g (BET area, measured according to standard ISO 9277-2010), the complex being obtainable by adding the lactoferrin to the silica in the form of a sol-gel with an aqueous solvent, and subsequent drying of the sol-gel. The complex is particularly suitable for use in oral care products, in particular toothpastes, mouthwashes, gels, chewing gum, tablets for use in oral care, gingival dyes, and the like. The complex features a high level of stability and bio-availability, such that it has an effective, long-lasting antibacterial and antioxidant action within the oral cavity. The complex is particularly suitable for the prevention or treatment of diseases of dental apparatus, in particular for the prevention or treatment of periodontitis or peri-implantitis, preferably in patients suffering from diabetes.

Disclosed is a composition of freeze-dried formulation which is mixed with a medium composition to be applied to the skin. The composition allows incorporation of a high concentration of hyaluronic acid capable of retaining a moisturizing protective film, provides a high moisturizing effect, and can stabilize an unstable active ingredient.

Provided is a cosmetic composition which can ameliorate wrinkles and suppress secretion of sweat and sebum, thereby exhibiting a makeup lasting effect.

Disclosed is a skin care kit comprising (a) a freeze-dried cosmetic composition comprising a cosmetic active, and (b) an aqueous cosmetic composition comprising an acrylic polymeric thickener.

The present invention relates to a porous material having a scaffold comprising: one or more fibroin moieties A and one or more polysaccharide moieties B, wherein A and B are directly conjugated with another without an interconnecting linker structure. Moreover, the present invention refers to a method for preparing a porous material. The present invention further relates to an injectable composition comprising a particulate porous material according to the invention and to cosmetic and therapeutic uses thereof such as facial and body re-shaping as well as regenerating tissue.

A cosmetic composition, comprising osteogenic growth peptide carbon-terminal pentapeptide, and at least one of a carrier, a diluent and an adjuvant. The cosmetic composition can promote the proliferation of fibroblasts and the synthesis of skin collagen, and also has the effects of promoting skin wound healing, and eliminating swelling and inflammation.

Disclosed a Dahlia pinnata composition, Dahlia pinnata composition powders, a Dahlia pinnata cosmetic composition and a method for producing the same. A method for producing a Dahlia pinnata composition includes preparing Dahlia pinnata petals; adding and stirring ethanol into the Dahlia pinnata petals to extract Dahlia pinnata extract; filtering the Dahlia pinnata extract; and diluting the filtered Dahlia pinnata extract in a solvent to obtain a Dahlia pinnata composition having an antioxidant efficacy. The Dahlia pinnata composition is produced by the method for producing a Dahlia pinnata composition, and thus has an antioxidant efficacy. In addition, the cosmetic composition includes the Dahlia pinnata extract and thus has an antioxidant efficacy.

Various packaged probiotic compositions, methods of producing a packaged probiotic composition, and cosmetic methods are described. A packaged probiotic composition includes a storage vessel that defines a first chamber, a second chamber, and a wall that separates the first and second chambers. The first chamber includes a lyophilized probiotic bacteria matrix and the second chamber includes a moisture-providing composition. A dispensing mechanism is individually coupled to the first and second chambers and, when activated, draws pre-measured portions of the lyophilized probiotic bacteria matrix and the moisture-providing composition from the respective first and second chambers, mixes the pre-measured portions, and dispenses the resulting mixed composition.
