A personal care composition, comprising a soluble zinc polyphosphate complex made by combining ingredients comprising an organic zinc salt, a plurality of long chain polyphosphates having 6 or more phosphate polymer units, and an aqueous solvent; wherein the relative amount of organic zinc salt and long chain polyphosphates provides a phosphorus to zinc mole ratio of at least 6:1. Also, a method of using the composition for reducing at least one of perspiration or body odor.

A fragrance-containing microparticle of water-insoluble polymeric material, the polymer having a glass transition temperature of from 0° C. to 50° C. and a zeta potential lying within the ranges −40 mV to −5 mV and +5 mV to +45 mV. The microparticles have enhanced substantivity to hair, resulting in a longer-lasting fragrance.

The present invention relates to pre-formulations comprising low viscosity, non-liquid crystalline, mixtures of: a) at least one neutral diacyl lipid and/or at least one tocopherol; b) at least one phospholipid; c) at least one biocompatible, oxygen containing, low viscosity organic solvent;
wherein at least one bioactive agent is dissolved or dispersed in the low viscosity mixture and wherein the pre-formulation forms, or is capable of forming, at least one liquid crystalline phase structure upon contact with an aqueous fluid. The preformulations are suitable for generating parenteral, non-parenteral and topical depot compositions for sustained release of active agents. The invention additionally relates to a method of delivery of an active agent comprising administration of a preformulation of the invention, a method of treatment comprising administration of a preformulation of the invention and the use of a preformulation of the invention in a method for the manufacture of a medicament.

Compositions and methods for inhibiting and interrupting biofilm formation, and for destabilizing established biofilms are provided, the novel compositions including polymeric resins and monomeric non-polymerizable and polymerizable resins. More particularly, the compositions and methods enable the protection and removal of biofilms from surfaces in the context of medical, consumer, domestic, food service, environmental and industrial applications, where the effects constitute beneficial and desirable biofilm attenuating activity.

A natural edible shampoo and preparation method thereof, the components comprises fatty acyl lactyl-lactic acid, arginine, vegetable oleic acid monoglyceride, plant phospholipid, ε-polylysine, ethyl lauroyl arginate hydrochloride, inulin, polyol and so on. It resist static electricity, improve the smoothness of hair, prevent pore clogging, and has good flowability at a low temperature. The shampoo overturns the classic concept of existing cationic hair care (large irritation), uses nearly non-irritant natural anionic wash and care main ingredients, relies on a non-enclosed protein peptide/low HLB value oiliness agent film-forming smoothing system, avoids a cationic polymer/silicone oil hair-care pattern with intensive negative effect, and protects the original ecological environment of hair and scalp, so that a final product gains the smooth experience feeling of organic silicone oil, thereby creating a new path for research and development of food and cosmetic-type wash and care two-in-one shampoos.
