Compositions for treating keratin fibers are described. Said compositions comprise, in a cosmetically acceptable medium: (a) at least one film-forming amino-silicone polymer selected from Polysilicone-35, Polysilicone-33, Polysilicone-29, Polysilicone-28, Polysilicone-25, Polysilicone-24, Polysilicone-22, Polysilicone-19, Polysilicone-18, Polysilicone-14, Polysilicone-3, and mixtures thereof; and (b) at least one silane derivative of a hydrolyzed protein or peptide or amino acid. These compositions provide an anti-frizz effect to hair while reinforcing and repairing hair as well as protecting hair during heat treatments (heat-protection). A process for treating keratin fibers using these compositions and the use of these compositions for protecting keratin fibers from heat damage are also described.

The present invention provides 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 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 invention relates to plant-based coacervate core-shell microcapsules, wherein the shell comprises a plant protein extract, as well as methods and uses of the same.

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 invention relates to plant-based microcapsules for the efficient encapsulation and retention of water-soluble ingredients, as well as the efficient co-encapsulation of water-soluble and water-insoluble ingredients. The present invention also relates to compositions comprising the microcapsules, a method of making the microcapsules and compositions, and to uses of the microcapsules and compositions.

The present invention discloses a number of formulations (including some that comprise Lunasin and reduce the visible signs of ageing by reducing skin wrinkles) that can be used as body-wash and related skin and hair treatments that can be manufactured using high quality ingredients at a reasonable cost, lower than comparable available products.

It is an object of the present disclosure is to provide a method for treating keratinous material, in particular human hair, wherein on the keratinous material are applied: a first composition (A) comprising: (A1) one or more organic C.sub.1-C.sub.6 alkoxy silanes and/or condensation products thereof, and a second composition (B) comprising (B1) at least one compound selected from the group of amino acids and protein hydrolysates,
where the total content of all polymers contained in the composition (A)—based on the total weight of the composition (A)—is below about 0.3% by weight, and the total content of all polymers contained in the composition (B)—based on the total weight of the composition (B)—is below about 0.3% by weight.

The present invention provides a method for preparing an high internal phase of pumpkin seed protein nanoparticles, including dissolving pumpkin seed protein powder in water and adjusting pH to approximately 8 to 11 to obtain a pumpkin seed protein solution; adding the pumpkin seed protein solution through a peristaltic pump into an ethanol solution with stirring for 4 hours to obtain a first solution; performing a centrifugation to the first solution and collecting precipitates; diluting the precipitates with water and performing a freeze-drying to obtain the pumpkin seed protein nanoparticles. The present invention first uses an anti-solvent method to prepare pumpkin seed protein nanoparticles, which have excellent emulsifying properties and can stabilize the high internal phase emulsion. In addition, the resulting pumpkin seed protein nanoparticles can stabilize the high internal phase emulsion independently without compounding with other substances.

The present invention relates to a plant proteoglycan obtained from gum arabic obtained from a trunk or branch of Acacia plant (Acacia Senegal Willdenow or Acacia Seyal Delile), having a weight average molecular weight of 900,000-3,500,000, and having a total aldehyde content of not more than 2.0 μmol equivalent/g. A plant proteoglycan having physiological activity equal to or higher than that of animal proteoglycan can be provided by the present invention.

Provided herein are oral care compositions comprising partially hydrolyzed plant protein, which are useful in methods of repairing or inhibiting dental erosion, promoting dental remineralization, and/or enhancing the anti-cavity effects of fluoride.
