Methods and systems to manufacture a soap bar comprising post-brew coffee particles are disclosed. A soap bar may comprise multiple post-brew coffee ground particle sizes to take advantage of the benefits associated with each size. For example, the soap bar may comprise espresso grinds (0.20 mm), regular grinds (1.0 mm), and/or coarse grinds (1.5 mm). A saponified fat base, e.g., a milk soap base, a plant oil base, and/or an animal fat base may be obtained and heated to a consistency. Collected post-brew coffee grounds may then be added. The coffee grounds may be anywhere from 1% to 65% of the total weight of the final product, depending on the desired soap quality. The final soap product may comprise coffee ground positive and coffee ground negative layers or portion, or the coffee grounds may be evenly dispersed throughout the product.

The present invention provides a hair regrowth promoter comprising an egg-yolk protein hydrolysate as an active ingredient. The egg-yolk protein hydrolysate is a safe ingredient produced from a natural source, and therefore can be widely used in daily consumable products, such as food and drink products, medicaments, animal feeds, and dietary supplements, or as a food additive, etc. The promoter etc. of the present invention can be orally administered and is thus very advantageous.

Products are described for treating epithelial tissues of the human or animal body including liquid compositions containing whole blood, or parts of blood including blood plasma, blood serum, blood platelets and growth factors derivable from blood. Other compositions disclosed include solid reservoirs of collagen or amniotic membrane into which whole blood or parts of blood have been absorbed. Methods of treatment using these compositions are described, in particular for treatment of ophthalmic disorders such as dry-eye and oral disorders such as dry mouth. A range of devices (1, 11, 31, 41, 51, 61, 71, 81, 91, 101) are described for sampling, mixing, storing and/or applying blood and compositions containing blood and parts of blood.

Provided are: a method for producing an oral composition suitable for treatment or prevention of a disease or symptom in the oral cavity; and an oral composition produced by the production method. The oral composition production method characterized by including a mixing step of mixing earthworm castings with water and a collecting step of collecting vaporized water generated from a mixture obtained in the mixing step to obtain a liquid; and the oral composition produced by the production method. It is preferred to further mix an organic substance together with the earthworm castings and the water in the mixing step.

Disclosed are a system, and method for fixation of hair fibers on a bald region on a human head. The method comprises pre-treating the bald region so that excess static electricity is removed from the bald region. The removal of static electricity improves fixation property the bald region. The method further includes, using a hair concealment device that is made up of a bottom and a top part. The top part is made up of metal and hence when a user touches metal portion with his hands, static electricity of the hair fibers is removed. This provides better fixation property to the human fibers and increases fixation to the bald region. The method further includes providing finishing to the bald region by spraying a soft gel to further improve fixation of hair to the bald region and natural human hair.

A deodorant composition comprising a metal oxide; a primary emollient; and at least one wax with a melting point above 50° C.; wherein the composition is anhydrous and aluminum-free; and wherein the composition has a pH greater than about 8.0 at 60 minutes as measured by the pH Release Test Method.

A personal care 100% plant derived, biodegradable solid granules that sustain beneficial essential oils, and or plant/herbal extracts and emulsify in water to create an emulsified therapeutic solution is disclosed. This invention improves over existing liquids in that its solid granule form is completely plant derived and biodegradable and can sustain essential oils and antioxidants without the requirement of chemical preservatives, and can be packaged in eco-friendly water soluble film and compostable paper. It improves over existing solid forms in that it is a 100% water soluble granule that emulsifies easily in water to form an easy to use liquid product.

A process for obtaining compositions constituted by propolis nanoparticles is disclosed. The nanoparticles are optionally associated to a substance of interest such as active ingredients, and, optionally, substances of secondary effect such as synergists and adjuvants. The process includes preparing a fraction A, which consists of propolis extract dissolved in an organic solvent, to which stabilizer and/or emulsifier may be added, and, optionally, substances of interest and/or of secondary effect; ii) preparing a fraction B, aqueous phase, constituted by: (ii.1) water; or (ii.2) an aqueous solution or dispersion, to which stabilizer and/or emulsifier may be added; (iii) dropping the fraction A onto the fraction B or vice versa; iv) homogenizing the mixture by stirring and spontaneous formation of nanoparticles with average size from 1 to 1000 nm in a dispersion; and v) optionally (v-1) removing organic solvent and/or (v-2) drying the nanodispersion.

The present invention provides a composition for preventing, improving or treating periodontal diseases comprising extract of mangosteen.

The composition of the present invention has excellent anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory effects against bacteria inducing periodontal diseases as comprising extract of mangosteen, or alpha-mangosteen or gamma-mangosteen derived from thereof, and thereby it can be widely used for medicines and foods for preventing, improving or treating periodontal diseases.

A method, and formulations for the method, for the treatment of hair loss is herein described. Typically, the method involves applying an exosome-based skincare product to skin affected by hair loss, such as the skin of the scalp. The exosome-based skincare product contains exosomes produced by and excreted from human umbilical mesenchymal stem cells cultured in vitro under specific conditions and then contained within a solvent. The hair loss may be caused by androgenic alopecia, alopecia areta, or telogen effulvium.
