The present invention relates to an adhesive and soluble adhesive bandage or patch comprising a soluble film of natural origin with high mineral content. The soluble film comprises from 20 to 90 wt % of mineral filler and wherein the mineral filler content level is higher than the polysaccharide content level. It also relates to these bandages or patches for use in cosmetics or therapy. Also, a method of making a soluble film.

The present invention relates to a cosmetic for application to a user's skin. The cosmetic is provided with a colorant including iron oxides. The cosmetic also includes a high buffering-capacity agent configured to react with an external acidic source coming in contact with the cosmetic and to inhibit release of iron ions from the iron oxides.

A composition for strengthening skin barrier or improving skin barrier function is able to improve objective indicators related to the protection of skin barrier, the strengthening of skin barrier, and/or the improvement of skin barrier function. The composition exhibits the effects of increasing the amount of ceramides, dihydroceramides and sphingoid bases, increasing the activities of enzymes that are involved in the synthesis thereof, and decreasing the activities of enzymes that are involved in the degradation thereof. In addition, the composition is able to restore skin barrier function by reducing TSLP, IL-4, and IL-13 which are closely associated with skin barrier damage, and thus interrupting a vicious circle in which the lipids and proteins contributing to skin barrier decrease.

The lyophilized formulation of stem cell-derived exosomes and the anti-inflammatory composition including the same as an active ingredient is able to stabilize stem cell-derived exosomes and exhibit excellent anti-inflammatory effects, and particularly, exhibit remarkable anti-inflammatory effects as compared with not-lyophilized stem cell-derived exosomes isolated and purified from conditioned media of stem cells. Therefore, the lyophilized formulation of stem cell-derived exosomes and the anti-inflammatory composition including the same as an active ingredient is able to effectively prevent, suppress, alleviate, ameliorate or treat inflammatory response or inflammatory diseases.

Compositions comprising extracts from marine organisms show beneficial effects on skin ailments. Fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging in skin are improved with the application of compositions with marine extracts. Production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid are increased after application of the compositions.

Provided herein are compositions comprising ergothioneine (e.g., a natural form of purified L-ergothioneine) and methods of using such compositions, e.g., for improving cell viability, maintaining telomere length, or treating telomere-related disorders. In some embodiments, the ergothioneine has a purity of at least or about 98%.

The present invention chiefly aims to provide a novel composition for controlling indigenous bacterial flora in the skin which can enhance or improve the diversity of bacterial species in the indigenous bacterial flora in the skin relative to the condition before treatment. The present invention can include, for example, a composition (e.g., an ointment, a liquid) for controlling the diversity of bacterial species in indigenous bacterial flora in the skin, comprising an effective amount of earthworm lipids extracted from a raw earthworm (Lumbricus rubellus), and a base. The composition of the present invention is useful, for example, as a raw material for skin care products and cosmetics.

Embodiments described herein relate generally to apparatus, methods and systems for low energy processing of consumer personal hygiene products (PHPs) and formulations of the same. In some embodiments, a method of manufacturing a consumer PHP comprises combining a first material and second material at room temperature to form a first mixture, mixing the first mixture at room temperature, adding a third material at room temperature to form a second mixture; mixing the second mixture at room temperature, adding a fourth material at room temperature to form a third mixture; and mixing the third mixture at room temperature. In some embodiments, the third material and the fourth material can be mixed to form the second mixture and the first mixture and second mixture can be combined to form the third mixture. In some embodiments, the mixing can be accomplished using a propeller mixer. In some embodiments, the propeller mixer can be rotated at a speed of greater than about 200 rpm during at least one of the mixing steps. In some embodiments, the pH of the third mixture can be adjusted to between about 4.5 and about 6.5 using an acidifier. In some embodiments, the viscosity of the third mixture can be adjusted to between about 100 cP and about 25,000 cP using a thickener.
