The salt-stable cosmetic composition is in the form of a low viscosity emulsion (oil in water) and is especially stable at high electrolyte contents and includes a salt-stable polymeric system comprising a polymer blend such that the salt-stable cosmetic composition resists phase separation, pilling and gellifying at high salt content, conferring a flowable, lightweight lotion-type texture.

The present invention relates to topical compositions comprising panthenol, hydroxyacetophenone and a micronized UV filter.

A topical composition comprising ginger, curcumin, one or more of glutathione, MSM, Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, sodium lauryl sulfate, Vitamin D and Vitamin E, and a carrier, wherein each of the glutathione, MSM, Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, sodium lauryl sulfate, Vitamin D, and Vitamin E. When applied to human skin or animal skin, the composition can improve the appearance of skin and speed up wound healing.

Keratin protein cosmetic compositions are provided that include at least one keratin protein derived from human hair and a base cosmetic solution. Methods of treatment are also provided.

Personal care compositions and methods for treating or reducing reactive oxygen species in or on skin are disclosed. The personal care composition may include a carrier, at least one plant oil, and at least one vitamin B compound. The at least one plant oil and the at least one vitamin B compound may be present in an effective amount to reduce reactive oxygen species in skin. The method may include contacting the personal care composition with the skin.

An oral care composition with gum health compound, amino acid, and/or mucoadhesive compound. An oral care composition with gum health compound, a pentapeptide, such as palmitoyl KTTKS, and/or a mucoadhesive compound. Methods of preventing gingival recession, stopping gingival recession, reversing gingival recession, decrease gum recession, increase gingival barrier protection, promoting collagen synthesis, promoting extracellular matrix synthesis, increasing gum resilience, increasing epidermal thickness and/or promoting fibrillin synthesis, in an oral cavity of an animal by contacting the oral care compositions with at least one surface of the oral cavity.
