The current application discloses a composition that comprises at least one peptide with a sequence length of 6-12 amino acids, where 2-5 of those amino acids are cysteines for the treatment and cosmetics of animal hair, in preference human hair. There are several hair styling methods that involve breakage and reestablishment of disulfide bonds, allowing relaxation and straightening of the hair. However, the most effective methods currently used to modulate hair contain harmful chemicals. Thus, there is a constant demand for formulations that efficiently model the hair fiber without damage. Thus, the present invention aims to provide a composition for treatment of the hair, including animal and human hair, without the use of chemicals harmful to the hair fiber and consumer health and uses of said compositions in shampoo, lotion, serum, cream, conditioner, foam, elixir, oil, aerosol or mask.

The present disclosure relates to an active substance carrier comprising a core-shell network structure formed using a biopolymer. In an aspect of the present disclosure, the core-shell network structure comprises a core-shell particle comprising: a core comprising prolamin; and a shell comprising pullulan and pectin, wherein the pullulan comprised in the shell surrounds the core and the pectin is located in the outermost layer of the shell, so that a network is formed between the core-shell particles. It can effectively facilitate the transdermal absorption of an active substance.

The present invention provides a method for producing a rice protein peptide including (1) preparing a slurry of rice residue protein, followed by sterilizing the rice residue protein; (2) first crushing; (3) undergoing a first proteolysis; (4) second crushing; (5) undergoing a second proteolysis; (6) conducting solid-liquid separation; (7) concentrating; (8) membrane filtering; (9) providing an anti-microbial treatment; (10) performing spray drying. The present method performing super-fine grinding on the proteolytic rice residue protein. During the process of second proteolysis, the protease fully contacts with the substrate, thereby promoting the proteolytic efficiency and taste.

A microcapsule composition containing microcapsules is provided as is a method for making the microcapsule composition and using the microcapsule composition in consumer products.

Disclosed are biodegradable core-shell microcapsule compositions composed of microcapsules having a wall formed by self-condensation of an isocyanate in the presence of a denatured pea protein as dispersant. Also disclosed are consumer products containing such a core-shell microcapsule composition and methods for producing core-shell microcapsule compositions.

In an embodiment, the present disclosure relates to a skincare composition including full spectrum hemp extract and a constituent. In some embodiments, the constituent includes at least one of an emollient, a moisturizer, a humectant, a perfuming agent, a skin soothing agent, a muscle relaxant, an antioxidant, a skin conditioner, a skin hydrator, or a skin nourishing agent. In a further embodiment, the present disclosure relates to a method that can include applying a skincare composition to an area of skin. In some embodiments, the skincare composition includes full spectrum hemp extract and a constituent that can include, without limitation, an emollient, a moisturizer, a humectant, a perfuming agent, a skin soothing agent, a muscle relaxant, an antioxidant, a skin conditioner, a skin hydrator, or a skin nourishing agent.

The present invention relates to a composition for treating keratin fibres, comprising at least an aqueous dispersion of hybrid hydrophobic film-forming acrylic polymer particles, at least one linear block silicone copolymer and at least one amino acid or amino acid derivative.

The biologically active substance is obtained or capable of being obtained by alkaline extraction, using an aqueous solution of at least one base in the presence of at least one reducing agent, of at least one macroscopic edible mushroom reduced to powder, to obtain a mixture having a liquid portion containing the soluble extracted materials and a solid portion formed of insoluble solid particles; filtering the resulting mixture to remove the solid portion and optionally clarifying the liquid portion; neutralising the liquid portion using a cation exchange resin and optionally filtering/clarifying the liquid portion thus neutralised to obtain the biologically active substance in the aqueous phase; and treating the resulting aqueous phase, the treatment being selected from dilution in water, concentration, dehydration and lyophilisation to obtain a biologically active substance which is, respectively, more diluted in water, in an aqueous solution more concentrated, dehydrated in powder form or lyophilised.

The present disclosure relates to air texture altering systems and methods that, among other things, loosen the curl pattern of the hair without straightening the hair using oils, other natural ingredients, and low concentrations of sodium hydroxide, in a manner that reduces the use of harsh and/or synthetic chemicals.

A fusion protein includes heat shock protein 10 and brazzein protein. The fusion protein has an enhanced anti-oxidation activity and skin cell proliferation effect. It can be used as a cosmetic composition for ameliorating skin wrinkles. The cosmetic composition including the fusion protein can be advantageously used in future as a material of a functional cosmetic product.
