The present invention provides core-stabilized microcapsules, wherein said core comprises at least one active agent encapsulated within an inorganic oxide shell, processes for their preparations, comparisons comprising them and uses thereof.

Mineral-based composition and methods of use thereof in preventing skin damages, such as in subjects exposed to radiation, are provided.

A topical composition comprising at least one retinoid, alfalfa extract, and at least one carrier and uses thereof.

The present invention provides core-stabilized microcapsules, wherein said core comprises at least one active agent encapsulated within an inorganic oxide shell, processes for their preparations, comparisons comprising them and uses thereof.

An absorbent article comprising at least a topsheet layer and a backsheet layer, each layer having a first and a second surface, at least one of the layers has a composition comprising a skin beneficial agent printed on the first surface and an ink composition printed on the second surface, wherein the compositions on the first and the second surfaces respectively may be interchanged.

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.

A kit system has a beginning level kit apparatus, an intermediate level kit apparatus, and an advanced kit apparatus. The beginning level kit apparatus has a first derma roller having a head with a plurality of needles each having a length of five tenths millimeters situated thereon. Additionally, the beginning level kit apparatus has a first chemical compound comprising vitamin A.sub.1 at a first potency. The beginning level kit apparatus also has a first red light therapy device that that is configured to emit red light having a wavelength in the range of six hundred ten nanometers to seven hundred nanometers for a predetermined minimum time period of ten minutes. Finally, the beginning level kit apparatus has a beginning level enclosure apparatus that that encloses the first derma roller, the first chemical compound, and the first red light therapy device.
