Skin care compositions, methods, and kits are provided. In some embodiments, the skin care compositions include one or more oils that include ximenynic acid, and one or more oils that include linolenic acid, and/or one or more oils that include linoleic acid. In certain embodiments, methods of using the aforementioned skin care formulations are provided for the treatment of acne, psoriasis, eczema, or dermatitis.

The present invention provides novel compositions for suppressing or improving hair loss, and compositions for suppressing or improving graying. More specifically, it provides agents that stabilize type XVII collagen expression, preferably agents that suppress the degradation of type XVII collagen by ELANE inhibitors and such, and compositions comprising a DNA repair-promoting agent or a DNA damage-suppressing agent as an active ingredient. Advantageous suppressive effects of hair loss and graying can be obtained when a composition comprising as an active ingredient a suppressive agent of type XVII collagen degradation such as an ELANE inhibitor is administered to a mammal. For the ELANE inhibitors, suppressive agents of type XVII collagen degradation and DNA repair-promoting agents, low-molecular compounds, polypeptides, proteins, antibodies, or nucleic acid medicine such as antisense oligos or siRNAs may be used. A method of screening for effective substances for suppression of hair loss and graying is also provided.

Disclosed herein are compositions, delivery devices and methods for feminine health. A delivery device for feminine health can include a feminine hygiene product including an absorbent substrate and a composition absorbed onto the absorbent substrate for placement against a vulva, inserted into a vagina, or both. The composition can include a continuous phase and a dispersed phase dispersed throughout the continuous phase forming a fluid suspension. The continuous phase can include a solvent of one or more essential oils, one or more lubricants, or a combination thereof. The continuous phase can include one or more solutes dissolved in the solvent including one or more fat-soluble vitamins. The dispersed phase can include a pH-balancing agent, a dietary mineral, an absorbent, one or more water-soluble vitamins, or a combination thereof.
