High throughput cell free protein synthesis methods and systems are provided for expression of active, mature enzymes and proteins derived from zymogens and proproteins. Zymogens and proproteins are expressed in their mature, active form in a cell free expression system, without cleavage of a pro-sequence to produce the active polypeptide.

The present invention relates to biobased polyglyceryl ester compounds and compositions and formulations comprising same, processes for preparing the inventive biobased polyglyceryl ester compositions, as well as applications thereof including the use of the inventive compounds and compositions in formulations of products or components of products. The biobased polyglyceryl ester composition may comprise a mixture including one or more compounds of Formula (I):

##STR00001## wherein: PG is a polyglyceryl group comprising greater than 40% hexaglycerol and higher polyglycerols and less than 60% pentaglycerol and lower polyglycerols, R is a linear or branched C.sub.5-C.sub.8 alkyl group, n=from 1 to 3, and wherein substantially all of the carbon present in the one or more compounds of Formula (I) is biobased.

A production method of microencapsulated probiotics with chitosan-alginate polymers, the microcapsules loaded with probiotics obtained by this method and their use in food, agriculture and cosmetics. The microcapsules do not make alterations in the color and appearance of the product in which they are applied and have antifungal and anti-mycotoxin features.

The present invention belongs to the area of cosmetics, especially to a delivery system for actives to the skin, such as face masks and facial masks. Particularly, the present invention refers to a delivery system consisting of a basic body comprises nonwoven fibrous materials and an active-substance preparation which is an o/w emulsion or w/o emulsion, and a wetting liquid that comprises one or more actives to activate the delivery system.

A lip scrub composition including an emollient, a botanical, an exfoliator, the exfoliator comprising Oryza sativa Rice Powder and Citrus limon Peel Powder, and a lip plumper, the lip plumper comprising Sodium Hyaluronate, Arnica montana Flower Extract and Phytonadione.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising plant extracts. The composition according to the present invention has a skin whitening effect by reducing the total amount of melanin and tyrosinase activity in melanocytes of the skin, promotes skin regeneration and increases skin elasticity or reduces skin wrinkles by promoting collagen synthesis and inhibiting collagenase activity in fibroblasts of the skin, has an anti-inflammatory effect or a skin soothing effect by inhibiting NO generation, increases the amount of moisture in the skin and has a moisturizing effect by promoting generation of hyaluronic acid in fibroblasts, and has an antioxidant effect by scavenging free radicals. In addition, since the composition of the present invention exhibits a broad antibacterial effect against various bacteria, the composition may be used as a cosmetic composition, a pharmaceutical composition, a skin external preparation, or a food composition.

A semi-permanent colorant composition is provided that is exhibits excellent color deposit without heat or oxidative treatment, and resists fading throughout several washes.

The subject application relates to topical preparations comprising polyalkoxylated polyols polyester with Guerbet acid. Compounds contained herein relate to polyalkoxylated polyol polyesters having a viscosity that allows a product to be poured, yet retained on a desired surface to which it is applied. Embodiments of the compounds may be exemplified by the formula:

Q-[(OA).sub.n-OR].sub.m

A hair cleansing formulation is provided, comprising: a dermatologically acceptable vehicle; a dermatologically acceptable hair care cleansing surfactant; a dermatologically acceptable silicone; and a deposition aid polymer, wherein the deposition aid polymer is a tertiary amine functionalized dextran polymer, comprising a branched chain dextran polymer functionalized with tertiary amine groups; wherein the deposition aid polymer enhances deposition of the dermatologically acceptable silicone from the hair cleansing formulation onto mammalian hair.

Provided herein are preservative compositions containing a preservative agent with an alkylene glycol ester. Also provided are method for increasing the efficacy of preservative agents and methods for reducing the minimum amount of preservative agent needed for effective preservation activity in end-use formulations.
