Suggested is a cooling preparation comprising phenylalkenals and homovanillic acid esters.

The present invention relates to an oral care composition comprising a magnesium ion-containing material in an amount from 0.1 to 40 wt.-%, based on the total weight of the composition as well as the use of a magnesium ion-containing material as opacifying agent and/or whitening pigment in oral care compositions.

Provided is a kit or system (100) for preparing a peroxide composition with increased viscosity with a pH in the range of 7 to 12 in an almost instantaneous method. For example, the kit or system may be used to provide an almost instantly obtainable (hydro)gelled peroxide composition. The system comprises a first aqueous composition (102) comprising a peroxide agent. The first aqueous composition has a first pH of less than 7. The system further comprises a second composition (104) comprising a basic agent. The second composition is separate from the first aqueous composition. A pH induced thickener is included in the kit or system separate from the second composition. The peroxide composition is obtainable by combining the parts of the kit or system. The pH induced thickener is capable of increasing the viscosity of the peroxide composition upon subjecting it to the pH in the range of 7 to 12. The kit or system has sufficient basic agent for the peroxide composition to cause the pH in the range of 7 to 12. A method for preparation and use of the kit or system is also provided.

Disclosed is a confectionery product for instant optical tooth whitening comprising artificial and/or natural dyes and characterised by the ability to produce an immediate whitening effect after extremely short contact times with the teeth.

The present disclosure relates generally to compositions that include at least two or at least three gelling agents, at least one emollient, and at least 15% water by mass relative to the total mass.

The present invention relates to a composition for preventing hair loss or promoting hair growth, comprising ginsenoside Rg4 or a mixture of ginsenosides Rg2, Rg4, Rg6, and Rh1 as an active ingredient. Treatment with ginsenoside Rg4 or the mixture of ginsenosides Rg2, Rg4, Rg6, and Rh1 in human hair follicle dermal papilla cells exhibits a desirable effect of forming three-dimensional spheres capable of inducing hair follicle formation and growth and increasing the size thereof, exhibits a desirable effect of activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling, which is important for hair follicle cell activation and regeneration, and exhibits a desirable effect of increasing the expression levels of ALPL, VCAN, BMP2, and FGF7 genes, which are important for hair follicle formation and growth. Thus, ginsenoside Rg4 or the mixture of ginsenosides Rg2, Rg4, Rg6, and Rh1 can be usefully utilized as a composition for preventing hair loss and promoting hair growth.

A meso-abrasive dentifrice formulation of from 15 wt % to 30 wt % a first abrasive, from 10 wt % to 15 wt % a second abrasive, and excipients. The second abrasive is silica and is different from the first abrasive. A system is also disclosed for cleaning a human oral cavity having the disclosed meso-abrasive dentifrice formulation and an oscillating cup for delivery of the dentifrice formulation. The system demonstrates a Cleaning Efficiency Index (CEI) of from 2.34 to 2.45. The system demonstrates an Increase in Gloss Score of greater than 28 and a system Relative Dentin Abrasiveness (RDA) value less than 100.

An additive for use alone as a tablet or capsule or with a base product to produce an enhanced product that provides health benefits to a person who consumes or uses the additive, including stimulating naturally occurring enzymes in the person's body. The additive has one or more hydrogenated substances, such as Erythitol, Xylitol, hydrogenated dihydromyricetin and/or Quercetin dihydrate, and the flavonoid Dihydromyricetin. The flavonoid may be extracted from a Vine Tea plant and/or a plant chosen from the genus Hovenia, such as the Japanese raisin tree. The additive may also have one or more of a solvent, such as a bicarbonate compound or an alcohol solvent, a pH balancing acid and/or a preservatives. The base product may be a liquid, solid, powder, chewable, pharmaceutical, cosmetic or a lotion or other applied product. The enhanced product are a base product that is enhanced by the additive.

Nutraceutical composition for the activation of sirtuins in humans, the composition including from 10% by weight to 15% by weight of honokiol; from 12% by weight to 40% by weight of pterostilbene; from 22% by weight to 32% by weight of polydatin; from 25% by weight to 40% by weight of ellagic acid and from 1.5% by weight to 3% by weight of a mixture of zinc, seleniun, chromium and nicotinamide, the composition promoting the inhibition of cell degradation and aging phenomena.

A system for delivering an active agent comprising an oral care composition, a delivery carrier, and optionally a device capable of producing electromagnetic radiation. The oral care composition can include a high internal phase oil-in-water emulsion and/or jammed oil-in-water emulsion. A method for delivering an active agent to an oral cavity including providing an oral care composition, contacting the oral care composition with at least one tooth, and optionally applying electromagnetic radiation to at least one tooth.
