A method to produce insect frass, water-depleted insects, lipid-depleted insects, and insect lipids is described. The method includes feeding a feedstock to insects to produce grown insects and insect frass, harvesting and removing water from the grown insects, and extracting lipids from the water-depleted insects to produce lipid-depleted insects and insect lipids. The method further comprises mixing the feedstock with water, a mineral enhancer, or a vitamin enhancer, followed by sifting the grown insects, contacting the grown insects with water, separating water from the insect lipids, and distilling, hydrogenating, esterifying, and saponifying the insect lipids. Methods for analyzing, tracking, and shipping the grown insects are described. Producing a multifunctional composition from the insects, and shaping, cooking, flavoring, and production of animal foods or an insect-burger patty is disclosed. The insect production system may be placed within a space station in low Earth orbit, in outer space, or on Mars.

A lip balm applicator product comprises upper and lower portions that are connectable together to define the applicator product being of a substantially spherical shape. A support platform is located in the lower portion and accommodates a quantity of lip balm having an arcuate surface. A lip balm comprises a composition of waxes and oils in solid form and formed to have an arcuate surface. The composition is formed to have the arcuate surface using a hot pour process. A method of manufacturing a lip balm comprises providing a receptacle having a concave arcuate surface. A lip balm material in a heated, liquefied phase is poured into the receptacle. Once poured, the heated, liquefied phase is allowed to solidify such that a surface of the solidified lip balm material has an arcuate configuration that corresponds to the concave arcuate surface of the receptacle.

The invention relates to a cosmetic process for treating keratin fibers, preferably the hair, comprising at least the steps consisting in: a) applying to said keratin fibers a composition containing at least one substance chosen from fatty substances, non-silicone polymers and surfactants, b) applying a mechanical tension to said keratin fibers, and c) exposing said keratin fibers under mechanical tension to microwaves, at a pressure ranging from 50 000 to 250 000 Pa, in the presence of at least one solvent in vapor form on contact with the keratin fibers and without there being complete drying of the keratin fibers throughout the entire exposure to the microwaves, the solvent(s) in vapor form being entirely generated by evaporating at least one compound present, before emission of the microwaves, on contact with the keratin fibers, step a) taking place prior to step c).

The invention relates to novel multicolour, multitexture and multimaterial cosmetic products as well as to a method for hot casting cosmetic compositions containing fats, in particular an oil. Said method advantageously renders a mold superfluous and allows the creation of products that include a plurality of compositions such as to produce highly original appearances. Said method also allows the production of products with a very irregular raised designs.

A composition, in particular a cosmetic composition, comprising a fatty phase and an aqueous phase, the aqueous phase being substantially immiscible with the fatty phase, at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure, wherein: the aqueous phase is in the form of spheres (S1) that are solid at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure, comprising at least one hydrophilic gelling agent, which is preferably temperature-sensitive, and the fatty phase comprises at least one lipophilic agent having a suspending capacity, which is preferably thixotropic, preferably a hydrophobic silica.

The present invention relates to a composition such as an anhydrous gel, comprising a cannabinoid and a silicone-based excipient, methods of administering the composition to a subject, and methods of treatment using said compositions.

A topical skin care composition for rejuvenation of the skin containing tetracaine, purified water, stearic acid, lauramide diethanolamine, beeswax, propylene glycol, sodium tetraborate, sodium lauryl sulfate, benzyl alcohol, glycerin, diazolidinyl urea, triethanolamine, methyl salicylate, and eucalyptus oil. The topical skin care composition of the invention is useful in the healing of the skin and in particular, after the skin has been exfoliated.

In one aspect, the disclosure relates to stable emulsions incorporating an oil phase and an alcohol phase, wherein the emulsions contain one or more oxidative compounds, organic acids, and, optionally, skin conditioners, vitamins, fragrances, and the like. The emulsions are, in one aspect, useful as sanitizing lotions, moisturizing skin treatments, and makeup cleansers or removers. In another aspect, the emulsions are effective at sanitizing the skin but are non-drying and non-irritating. Also disclosed are single-phase liquid solutions incorporating at least one monoalcohol, a polyalcohol, and one or more oxidative compounds. In one aspect, the solutions are useful as cleansers for makeup and grooming tools. In another aspect, disclosed herein are methods of making the emulsions and solutions.

A topical lotion composition for promoting hair growth includes honey, Aloe vera gel, rosemary oil, coconut oil, olive oil, rose oil, almond oil, and vitamin E oil, in a base. Application of the topical lotion composition to a scalp of a user promotes hair growth.

A dentifrice composition comprises a toothpaste carrier having a pH of about 7 to about 10 and a calcium ion source and a fluoride ion source wherein the calcium ion source is unencapsulated and the fluoride ion source is encapsulated or coated in a coating impermeable to the toothpaste carrier. The coating degrades to release fluoride ions when mechanically agitated by a toothbrush in an oral cavity surface. In a second embodiment, the dentifrice composition comprises an aqueous toothpaste carrier having a pH of about 7 to about 10 with an unencapsulated calcium ion source and a fluoride ion source having a pH of between 3 to less than 7 wherein the fluoride ion source is encapsulated in a first (or inner) impermeable coating adapted to degrade to release the fluoride ions in the presence of a toothpaste carrier. The first coating is encased in a second (or outer) impermeable coating adapted to resist degradation in the presence of the toothpaste carrier and to mechanically degrade to expose the first (or inner coating) which degrades to release the fluoride ions in response to application of the dentifrice composition to an oral cavity surface.
