A hair browning composition is capable of browning the hair without damage to the scalp and hair due to the absence of an alkaline agent, an oxidizing agent, and an aromatic amine-based compound having an improved hair browning effect and a prolonged browning effect-lasting period. The composition includes gallic acid, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, and tromethamine.

The invention relates to a composition for slowing cellular ageing which comprises at least: S-Adenosyl-methionine; an extract of at least one adaptogenic plant selected among plants belonging to the Astragalus, Dioscorea, Schisandra, Panax, Eleuterococcus, Rosmarinus, Pfaffia, Morinda, Cordyceps or Lepidium genera; a vitamin selected among the B vitamins, vitamin C, or a mixture thereof; except for compositions comprising 7-keto-DHEA and an extract of one or more adaptogenic plants belonging to the Dioscorea or Lepidium genera. A liquid or solid food supplement can be characterised in that it comprises the composition. A dermatologically acceptable composition can be characterised in that it comprises at least 10 wt % of the composition.

The invention relates to multi-action dermatological compositions that provides lightening, protecting and anti-aging effects to the skin of a user. The composition comprises niacinamide, arbutin, tranexamic acid, ubiquinone, a DHEA-like component, curcuma oily extract and marine exopolysaccharides. The invention also relates to methods of dermatological treatment and a method of treating hyperpigmentation by applying the composition to the skin of a user.

Injectable compositions and methods of treating skin can help improve hydration, elasticity and/or texture of the skin. The compositions can be based on crosslinked hyaluronic acid matrices made with low molecular weight hyaluronic acids.

The present disclosure relates to a method for preventing spontaneous oxidation of an antioxidant, material thereof and uses thereof. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a method for preventing oxidation of an antioxidant using aptamer specifically binding to its target antioxidant and aptamer-based control of the release rate of active ingredient in the hydrogel. Aptamer having such activity can have versatile applications such as cosmeceuticals and health beverages. As an example, we provide in the present disclosure the establishing method of aptamer targeting for Vitamin C and verification of its prevention of spontaneous oxidation of Vitamin C. We also provide the detailed method for trapping such aptamer-active ingredient complex in the hydrogel. It is expected that an aptamer-trapped hydrogel of the present disclosure has functions of controlling a release rate of the active ingredient through the aptamer-based sensing of specific substance released from the skin according to the skin conditions.

The present invention relates to a dispersant composition comprising 2,3-butanediol, and to a cosmetic composition comprising the dispersant composition. In addition, the present invention relates to a dispersion media composition comprising 2,3-butanediol, and to a cosmetic composition comprising the dispersion media composition.

In some embodiments, a composition is disclosed that includes pure silk fibroin-based protein fragments that are substantially devoid of sericin, wherein the composition has an average weight average molecular weight ranging from about 17 kDa to about 38 kDa, wherein the composition has a polydispersity of between about 1.5 and about 3.0, wherein the composition is substantially homogeneous, wherein the composition between 0 ppm to about 500 ppm of inorganic residuals, and wherein the composition includes between 0 ppm to about 500 ppm of organic residuals. In some embodiments, a composition is disclosed that includes silk fibroin-based protein fragments and is suitable for use in consumer applications. In some embodiments, a preserved composition is disclosed that includes silk fibroin-based protein fragments. In some embodiments, a method of preserving a solution using silk fibroin-based protein fragments is disclosed.

The instant disclosure relates to a kit comprising two or more separately contained cosmetic compositions that are miscible with one another upon mixing, wherein the two or more cosmetic composition have: (a) a viscosity of at least 1,800 cPs or a storage modulus (G′) greater than the loss modulus (G″) for a viscosity below 1,800 cPs; and (b) a maximum yield stress of 9,000 Pa; and wherein the two or more cosmetic compositions are chosen from: (i) oil in water emulsions; (ii) water in silicone emulsions; and (iii) anhydrous emulsions. Methods for treating skin with the kits and/or the cosmetic compositions are also disclosed.
