An assembled jade activation material is assembled and synthesized by the sol-gel method, and contains 55-59% tetraethyl orthosilicate, 4-8% calcium nitrate tetrahydrate, 26-30% magnesium nitrate hexahydrate, 1-8% zinc nitrate, 0-3% yeast selenium, 0-1% manganese nitrate and 0-1% copper nitrate by molar ratio, and the sum of the mole percentages of each component is 100%. The assembly method draws on the main components of natural jade materials that exert their effects, and synthesizes the assembling jade activation materials through self-assembly of sol-gel technology, uniquely increases silicon, calcium, magnesium ions, etc., and adjusts the amount of trace elements according to needs, adding zinc, selenium, manganese, copper and other elements.

A environmentally and user-safe non-nano particle zinc oxide sunscreen composition that is homogenous at rest with semi-sheer to transparent application including 20 to 30% by weight of zinc oxide, 50 to 70% by weight of an oil mixture and 10 to 30% by weight of a water-resistant wax comprising beeswax, calendula wax, or a mixture thereof.

Compositions comprising a manganese mineral are provided. In specific embodiments, the manganese mineral contains manganese carbonate (MnCO.sub.3), which may be in the form of rhodochrosite. The compositions may be administered topically to a subject, or in some versions by inhalation. For example, the compositions may be administered by direct contact with the subject's skin or by inhalation through the subject's nasal passages or mouth. Such application of the disclosed compositions may increase the subject's collagen synthesis, prolidase activity (an enzyme responsible for collagen function), and manganese superoxide dismutase activity (an antioxidant having manganese in its active site) in the subject.

The present disclosure is directed to providing a moldable solid washing agent composition and an article molded from the same. The composition of the present disclosure can be stored easily at room temperature for a long time. It is applicable to a system that can be manufactured on site and can satisfy customer needs because it can be molded immediately by a simple method and the shape, size, etc. can be controlled. In addition, the solid washing agent composition disclosed in the present specification has superior compatibility with water.

A composition comprises phenolic polymer particles and a surfactant, on the phenolic polymer particles. The composition is lipophilic. A dispersion comprises the phenolic polymer particles, the surfactant, and a carrier vehicle. The carrier vehicle may be a cosmetically-acceptable fluid or a wax that is lipophilic.

Microparticles comprising carboxylated, sulfated, or phosphated cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and pigment nanoparticles are provided. In these particles, the cellulose nanocrystals and the pigment nanoparticles are agglomerated together thereby forming said microparticle, and wherein the pigment nanoparticles are bound to the surface of the cellulose nanocrystals. Cosmetic preparations comprising these microparticles are also provided. Finally, a method for producing the microparticles is provided. The method comprises the steps of a) producing an aqueous suspension of carboxylated, sulfated, or phosphated CNCs with pigment nanoparticles bound thereto; and b) drying said aqueous suspension to produce the microparticles.
