Embodiments include formulations for topical administration of sugar alcohol to treat a skin condition such as acne. A formulation can include a moisturizer, an emollient, a sugar alcohol and zinc. In aspects, the sugar alcohol is erythritol with zinc chloride at a molar ratio of about 3:1. Embodiments also include methods of administering the erythritol-zinc formulations. The methods can include microdermabrasion. In aspects, the erythritol-zinc formulation is applied to an area of skin after steps of (a) crystal-free microdermabrasion and (b) suction massage/cleansing.

The present specification discloses compositions comprising one or more monoterpene compounds and HA polymers as well as methods and uses of such compositions for treating a soft tissue condition of an individual and/or cellular senescence in a skin region of an individual.

The present invention relates to a cosmetic and/or dermatological composition comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium: a) at least some hydrophobic aerogel particles, b) at least some silicone elastomer particles, c) at least one particle that absorbs sebum. The invention also relates to a process for making the skin matt and/or for reducing its shine.

A crosslinkable coating composition comprising: ingredient A that has at least two protons that can be activated to form a Michael carbanion donor; ingredient B that functions as a Michael acceptor having at least two ethylenically unsaturated functionalities each activated by an electron-withdrawing group; and a dormant carbamate initiator of Formula (1) ##STR00001##
wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 can be independently selected from hydrogen, a linear or branched substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 22 carbon atoms; 1 to 8 carbon atoms; and A.sup.n+ is a cationic species or polymer and n is an integer equal or greater than 1 with the proviso that A.sup.n+ is not an acidic hydrogen; and optionally further comprising ammonium carbamate (H.sub.2NR.sub.1R.sub.2.sup.+−OC═ONR.sub.1R.sub.2). The crosslinkable coating composition can be used for a variety of coating applications including nail coating compositions.

An aqueous oral care solution, a kit that includes such solution, a method of making such solution, a method of using such solution (e.g., a method of providing fluoride to a patient's tooth surface), and a tooth surface having a coating derived from the aqueous oral care solution, wherein the oral care solution includes: silver cations; thiocyanatc anions provided by a thiocyanatc source comprising Ca(SCN)2; fluoride anions; and water; wherein the molar ratio of silver to thiocyanatc ions is up to 0.40:1, and water is up to 57 wt-%, based on the total weight of the solution.

The present disclosure relates to methods, systems and kits for treating the skin by applying onto the skin a skin tightening composition comprising 1) at least one thermoplastic elastomer and at least one adhesive polymer; and 2) a sunscreen composition comprising one or more UV filters. Methods, systems and kits comprise applying the compositions of the systems sequentially.

The disclosure relates to compositions comprising gluconolactone, at least one amino acid, and optionally at least one polysaccharide. The compositions can be used for styling or shaping hair, and/or for providing manageability benefits to hair, in particular curly hair. The disclosure also relates to methods of using the compositions.

The present invention relates to compositions for mineralizing a dental surface, in particular tooth enamel. Methods of mineralizing hypomineralized lesions (including subsurface lesions) in the tooth enamel caused by dental caries, dental corrosion and fluorosis are also provided. In particular, the invention relates to a method of mineralizing a dental surface or subsurface comprising contacting the dental surface or subsurface with a compound that is capable of increasing or maintaining the pH of a solution and a mineralizing agent.

The present invention is related to anhydrous cosmetic compositions having enhanced anti-oiliness properties, dry touch to the skin after the application combined with mate effect, and with a very light, thin and invisible touch on the skin, comprising A) an emollient system, B) a filler system, and C) an UV filter. The present invention is also directed to a process of manufacturing the anhydrous cosmetic compositions and their uses as a sunscreen daily product and for reducing the oiliness of the skin.
