Succinic acid esters of resveratrol and topical compositions containing the esters.

A cosmetic composition according to an embodiment of the present disclosure stably contains capsules. In the cosmetic composition according to an embodiment, the capsule where an active ingredient such as a colorant is loaded has excellent physical and chemical stability. Therefore, the cosmetic composition does not have problems of formulation instability which may be caused by contact and reaction between a component in the capsule and a component outside the capsule, even when kept for a long period of time. In addition, the cosmetic composition can obtain a dramatic makeup effect when the colorant loaded in the capsule is discharged only by frictional force generated during use of the cosmetic.

Disclosed herein is a composition that is suitable for influencing electromagnetic radiation on cutaneous extracellular matrix protein production. The composition contains (a) a proanthrocyanin, a polyphenol or a proanthrocyanin/polyphenol-containing plant extract, absorbed or adsorbed onto an inert carrier, where component (a) is responsive to UV, IR or visible light; (b) a photo-activatable amino acid or amino acids blend; and (c) a dermatologically-acceptable vehicle, wherein component (a) is present in an amount of from about 15 wt % to about 35 wt % based on the total amount of component (a) and component (b), said component (b) is present in an amount of from about 65 wt % to about 85 wt % based on the total amount of component (a) and component (b), and said component (c) is present in an amount of from about 90 wt % to about 99.95 wt % based on the total weight of the composition.

A surface treatment agent or a powder treatment agent comprising a co-modified organopolysiloxane is disclosed. The co-modified organopolysiloxane is represented by the general formula: R.sup.1.sub.aR.sup.2.sub.bQ.sub.cSiO.sub.(4−a−b−c)/2. The co-modified organopolysiloxane has a number average molecular weight of less than 4500 and includes a long-chain alkyl group and a polyoxyalkylene group in the molecule.

The present invention relates to a long-lasting powder essence composition with improved coloring and skin feeling and its preparation method. The powder essence composition is a high-fitting coloring powder not likely to smear or wear off. The composition turns into liquid the moment it is rubbed on the skin to offer a natural color tone like water color, keeps the color clear without getting cakey even when it is reapplied multiple times, and delivers a clearer color as it glides on the skin to break powder and water particles. The powder essence composition according to the present invention is also a powder emulsion, which makes the skin feel light and hydrated rather than sticky or stuffy when applied to the skin and stays long due to its water-resistant function. In addition, the powder essence composition according to the present invention contains different functional moisturizing agents to provide plenty of nourishment when applied to the skin. The composition makes the skin feel fresh and hydrated rather than stuffy or heavy, lightly sinks into the skin like nothing is applied on the skin, to display a strong tint function, stays long just with one touch and has a good water-resistant effect, so it does not bleed when in contact with water.

An objective of the present invention is to provide a solid powder cosmetic excellent in impact resistance and usability despite that boron nitride and spherical resin particle are blended in a large amount. The present invention provides a solid powder cosmetic comprising: 12-30 mass % of synthetic fluorphlogopite iron; 5-15 mass % of boron nitride; and 5-15 mass % of phenyl-modified silicone spherical elastic powder.

The present invention relates to a capsule comprising a pigment and a method for producing the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to a capsule which comprises therein a pigment inside which is likely to be discolored due to external environment, and thereby can easily crack or break and cause color development when applied to the skin, while isolating the pigment from the external environment, and a method for producing the same.
