A hand-held device with a paddle, an arm and a handle. Using the handle and arm, the paddle is slapped/tapped against the face to, in effect, provide a workout for an individual's facial skin and facial muscles. One purpose of a workout for the facial muscles is to tighten the facial muscles by inducing/stimulating the production of new and healthy collagen, improve skin firmness and texture, and blood circulation. The skin's cells need good circulation to heal and produce collagen. The slapping/tapping of the face creates a superficial trauma to the skin and muscles which tricks the body into producing high levels of collagen to assist in the healing process without causing any actual damage to the skin.

A cosmetic composition for topical skin application and for use in reducing the appearance of scars comprising a combination of arginine and glutamine. The composition comprises L-Arginine in combination for L-Glutamine and further comprises bromelain, tetrahydrobisdemethoxydiferuloylmethane and tetrahydrocurcumin. Additional ingredients include various antioxidants, moisturizers, skin protectants, and vitamins together to promote the healing of affected skin while reducing visible scarring.

Facial cosmetic compositions include a cannabinoid and a retinoid. The compositions can also comprise an aliphatic oligopeptide, an acetylated oligopeptide, and/or hyaluronic acid. Methods of administering facial cosmetic compositions include topically and/or subtopically administering to facial skin of a subject.

The present technology includes a set of topical compositions used in treating wounds or scars in accordance with the methods and protocols described herein. The set of topical compositions can include (i) a cleansing composition comprising polydimethylsiloxane (silicone) and Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) flower extract; (ii) a first treatment composition comprising Aloe barbadensis (aloe) leaf juice, Macadamia temifolia (macadamia) seed oil, and panthenol (vitamin B5); (iii) a second treatment composition comprising Aloe barbadensis (aloe) leaf extract, sodium hyaluronate, and allantoin; (iv) a third treatment composition comprising snail mucin extract; (v) a fourth treatment composition comprising tocopherol; and (v) a fifth treatment composition comprising retinol.

A three-part method of cleaning a user's teeth and/or gums is disclosed. First, a user applies a tonic of essential oils to the user's teeth and/or gums by either brushing, rubbing, rinsing and/or flossing with the tonic thereby destroying harmful bacteria. Second, the user brushes with a toothpaste having nano-hydroxyapatite being particles of 50 nanometers or smaller. The nano-hydroxyapatite is absorbed into the surface opening inside dentinal tubules of the teeth. Third, the user seeds their mouth with an oral probiotic having beneficial bacteria. The third step must come after both the first and second steps.

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.

Topical delivery systems are described. The topical delivery systems include at least one skin care active and nanocellulose in a cosmetic composition. It has been surprisingly found that the presence of nanocellulose in a cosmetic composition enhances or regulates the penetration of skin care actives. The present application further describes a cosmetic composition comprising a skin care active and nanocellulose and use thereof.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising: (a) at least one cinnamic acid derivative according to a specific chemical formula; (b) at least one lipophilic antioxidant; (c) at least one oil; and (d) water, wherein the pH of the composition is 4.5 or less. The composition according to the present invention is stable under a variety of temperature conditions.

The present invention is directed to a personal composition comprising a) a strobilurin; b) salicylic acid wherein the ratio of a:b is from about 1:1 to about 100:1; wherein there is a synergistic anti-inflammatory/cellular stress activity.
