The subject of the application is protein hydrolyzates having specific amounts of the amino acids arginine and lysine, which demonstrate improved properties in hair treatment compositions and in cleansing compositions for skin and hair, and also enzymatic methods for the preparation thereof, and the cosmetic compositions comprising same.

The invention pertains to the field of oat protein compositions and production method thereof. In particular, the present invention is directed to an oat protein composition having low lipid content and which does not contain traces of organic solvent and to the production method thereof.

Microcapsule compositions as disclosed comprising a microcapsule dispersed in an aqueous phase. The microcapsule has a microcapsule core and a microcapsule wall encapsulating the microcapsule core. The microcapsule core contains an active material. The microcapsule wall is formed of a polymeric network comprising a first moiety derived from a protein, and a second moiety derived from a multi-functional electrophile. Also disclosed are preparation methods and consumer products containing the microcapsule compositions.

A cosmetic composition to combat skin aging, particularly on the neck, includes a blend of skin actives comprising at least the combination of glaucine, retinol and a blend of peptides. The skin actives are provided in an aqueous carrier in a single phase, biphase or emulsion wherein the cosmetic composition is a leave on treatment in the form of a cream, gel, lotion, toner, or serum. The cosmetic composition provides one or more benefits, including, but not limited to improvement in many signs of skin aging, particularly on the neck, such as lines, wrinkles, crepiness, and sagging, the benefits conferred by one or more of increasing firmness, increasing elasticity, improving hydration, and reducing the presence superficial adipose tissue. The cosmetic composition may include one or more of additional skin actives, solvents, surfactants, oils, thickeners, preservatives, brightening agents, effect pigments, essential oils, plant extracts, or combinations of these.

The present invention describes a method for extraction of a raw material or a combination of raw materials to produce a formulation (NEAT™) rich in phytochemicals and which is based on or rich in oil and proteins, said method comprising—bringing the raw material or combination of raw materials into contact with a solvent being carbon dioxide and which optionally is assisted with one or more co-solvents being GRAS (generally recognized as safe), such as but not limited to water, ethanol, dimethyl carbonate; —performing an extraction in high pressure conditions ranging from subcritical to super critical conditions in carbon dioxide in a pressure range of 250-800 bars and in a temperature range of 15-45° C. to provide a formulation being rich in phytochemicals, e.g. lipids, phenolics, terpenoids and alkaloids and proteins wherein a residue obtained in the method for extraction is subjected to extraction in carbon dioxide at supercritical conditions in a pressure above 72 bars and 31° C., and wherein pressurized hot water is used as a co-solvent or after the extraction with carbon dioxide.

Healthy glow is characterized by radiant skin, brighter, lighter, even skin tone and clear skin without blemishes. Skin pigmentation is a process known as melanogenesis involving production, transportation, and distribution of melanin from the epidermis's inner layer to the skin's surface. There are multiple biological processes and underlying gene pathways that impact overall melanogenesis. Disclosed is a composition and methods for a combination of Vitamin B3 and Pea and Quinoa peptides obtained from hydrolyzed proteins. This composition was found to offer a holistic approach to the skin glow through multi targeted action controlling key biological pathways. Vitamin B3, Pea peptides, and Quinoa peptides were found to deliver a synergistic effect for desired skin glow, radiance, even skin tone, uniformity, homogeneity, smoothing skin texture, reducing dark spots/hyperpigmentation and improve skin appearance without any reported side effects as compared to formulations without the composition.

The present invention refers to the oral and dental health care field since it refers to a modified and improved dental floss material aimed at preventing the onset and progression of dental caries and periodontal disease.

Provided are pharmaceutical compositions for skin lightening, which are particularly useful in treating skin hyperpigmentation, together with methods for their use. The compositions comprise a peptide having a sequence comprising PKEK, alpha arbutin and/or sutilains.

An antimicrobial agent contains amino acids extracted from grains as antimicrobial components. The antimicrobial agent includes a soybean-derived amino acid that functions as an antimicrobial component, extracted by separating solids from a grain solution to which a flocculent was added after heat treatment and filtration treatment. The antimicrobial composition also has butylene glycol, alkyldiaminoethylglycine hydrochloride, alkaline electrolyzed water, a cationic surfactant, an amphoteric ion surfactant, a nonionic surfactant, a chelating agent, and purified water.

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.
