The present disclosure discloses a composition for skin anti-inflammation and skin moisturizing, which contains an Artemisia extract extracted using a skin cosmetic solution as an extraction solvent as an active ingredient. Specifically, the composition according to the present disclosure, which contains the Artemisia extract obtained using an effective and safe extraction solvent, may exhibit superior skin safety and usability as well as superior anti-inflammatory and moisturizing effects. In addition, the composition according to the present disclosure, which contains the Artemisia extract extracted using the skin cosmetic solution that can be used as a cosmetic ingredient as an extraction solvent, may superbly maintain Artemisia flavor without an additional flavoring agent.

The present invention relates to self-healing shells incorporating amphiphilic molecules having metal-coordinating group(s) reversibly cross-linked with metal cations.

The present invention relates to the use of a methacrylate or acrylate modified polysaccharide; or a single-chain polysaccharide methacrylate or acrylate-based nanoparticle, having a surface tension measured by Du Noüy Ring method equal to or lower than 63 mN/m, as oil-in-water emulsion stabilizer; and an oil-in-water emulsion stabilizer composition, and an oil-in-water emulsion containing them. It also relates to processes for their preparation, and their uses.

The present invention is in the field of emulsifiers and provides novel emulsifier mixtures for use in cosmetic or pharmaceutical formulations or in detergents. The emulsifier mixtures according to the invention comprise a citrate ester mixture and at least one 1,2-alkanediol, 1,3-alkanediol, 1,4-alkanediol and/or 1,5-alkanediol and are characterized by increased stability and low precipitation over a wide temperature range and during a long storage period.

The present invention relates to the field of delivery systems. More specifically, the invention concerns an oil-in-water emulsion comprising a solid lipid material in combination with a liquid oil-soluble active material, preferably an arthropod control agent. The present invention also describes a process for preparing said emulsion and consumer products comprising said emulsion.

Methods and compositions for improving the appearance of skin are provided. The methods and compositions are especially suited for improving sallow-looking skin by enhancing bilirubin degradation in skin. The methods and compositions herein utilize one or more sucrose esters, which demonstrate a surprising ability to reduce bilirubin levels. The method involves applying a skin care composition containing an effective amount of a sucrose ester to a target portion of skin where a reduction in bilirubin level is desired.

One aspect of the invention provides an oil-in-water emulsified cosmetic, which comprises in a cosmetically acceptable medium: a) a hydrogenated lecithin, b) an anionic surfactant derived from microorganisms, c) a polyol comprising a glycerin, d) a polysaccharide, wherein the content of the anionic surfactant preferably ranges from 0.005% to 1% by weight of the total weight of the oil-in-water emulsified cosmetic.
