Compositions for the treatment of some orphan diseases and oral mucosal ulcers, many with similarities in terms of their anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative activities, but also multiple differences in their observed abilities that can be combined to challenge the current, underlying pathophysiology. The orphan diseases of interest are Dupuytren's Contracture, Peyronie's Disease, Scleroderma, Raynaud's (or Renaud's) Phenomenon, chemotherapy/radiation induced oral mucosal ulceration, and aphthous ulcers; and more frequent skin issues of skin damage from cuts, abrasions, and burns; aging skin changes, and toe nail fungus. These can be treated with the disclosed compositions with the proper combination and alteration of ingredients inclusive of alpha-pinene, an aloe vera preparation, and a shea butter preparation. A process for preparation of such ingredients in a water-in-oil emulsion is described herein.

Cosmetic compositions capable of forming a multilayer structure after application to a keratinous material are provided, as well as methods of applying such compositions to a keratinous material.

A method for producing a powder solid composition including a base containing non-volatile liquid oil, the method includes: blending wax in a powder form into the base; dispersing the base in a solvent; volatilizing the solvent at a first temperature where the wax does not dissolve; and heating the base at a second temperature where the wax dissolves, wherein a blending amount of the non-volatile liquid oil is 15% by mass or more and 40% by mass or less with respect to the base.
