Disclosed herein are nanoemulsions, the nanoemulsions comprising biologically active ingredients. Further disclosed are processes for preparing the nanoemulsions and methods of their use.

The hand sanitizer may be a hand foam sanitizer or a hand gel sanitizer. Each of the hand sanitizers includes at least one stabilizing agent, at least one skin care agent, and a volume of disinfecting micelle capsules suspended therein. Each disinfecting capsule has a polymer shell which defines a hollow core. The polymer shell includes an antimicrobial material. The antimicrobial material may have a concentration of between 0.5 wt % and 95 wt % of the polymer shell. In order to make the hand foam sanitizer, at least one foaming agent is added to produce a foam by air foaming. The hollow core of each disinfecting capsule may be filled with a material, such as at least one disinfectant, at least one fragrance, at least one supplemental skin care agent, or combinations thereof.

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.

The present disclosure provides esters of a retinoid and an alcohol selected from the group consisting of tocopherols and tert-butylhydroquinone, such as esters of Formula (I). The present disclosure also provides compositions and kits comprising the esters, methods of producing the esters, and methods of using the esters (e.g., for treating or preventing a skin disease, slowing the ageing of the skin, improving the appearance of the skin, or modulating a retinoid receptor).

The embodiments relate to improved skin quality, health and appearance using a new delivery method and certain bioactive compositions and formulations. The system incorporates microneedle delivery technology with unique compositions and formulations. Such development allows for the pursuit of personalized medicine, or treatment delivery that can expand to remote controlled environment, immediate compounding and ultimate personalization with a state of the art longitudinal data predictive analytics. Certain formulations described herein are unique, combinatory and synergistic. Secured by high-tech proprietary system, there are unlimited potentials using AQT technology including but not limited to 3-D printing of a biodegradable micro chips that can be delivered via injection, AQT or any other possible route.

Disclosed is a method of improving a condition or appearance of skin. The method can include applying to skin an effective amount of a topical skin composition comprising tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, Phyllanthus emblica fruit extract, and tocopherol or tocopherol acetate.

A system for delivering an active agent comprising an oral care composition, a delivery carrier, and optionally a device capable of producing electromagnetic radiation. The oral care composition can include a high internal phase oil-in-water emulsion and/or jammed oil-in-water emulsion. A method for delivering an active agent to an oral cavity including providing an oral care composition, contacting the oral care composition with at least one tooth, and optionally applying electromagnetic radiation to at least one tooth.

An alcohol-free lotion for the topical application having sanitizing properties is made by combining an aqueous phase comprising water, a water soluble preservative, an antimicrobial active, and at least one humectant with an oil phase, wherein the at least one humectant is present in the aqueous phase in the range of from 5 to 30 wt. %, wherein the oil phase comprises an oil soluble preservative, at least one surfactant, and at least one oil, wherein the surfactant is present in the oil phase in the range of from about 20 to 60 wt. %, and wherein the aqueous phase to oil phase ratio is from about 12:1 to 1:2.

A gingivitis gum serum having a collagen building complex comprising between about 0.10 and 10.00 percent by weight of a stable Vitamin C derivative and between about 0.03 and 15.0 percent by weight of an amino acid complex primarily consisting of L-glycine, L-proline, L-lysine and mixtures thereof, a multi-mineral organo complex for healthy cell and tissue generation and an orally acceptable antimicrobial in a soft tissue delivery base for manual or vibratory application.

The present invention generally relates to the field of skin care. More particularly, the invention relates to a cosmetic or therapeutic skin care composition comprising live bacteria of at least one Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes) strain in combination with a thickener that specifically supports their viability during storage and/or their ability to replicate after application to the skin. Preferably, the cosmetic or therapeutic skin care composition comprises bacteria of at least one C. acnes strain selected from the group consisting of D1, A5, C1, C3, H1, H2, H3, K1, K2, K4, K6, K8, K9, L1, and F4. The invention also provides a method for treating or preventing acne by applying the skin care composition of the invention to a skin area in need of treatment. The invention also relates to the use of a skin care composition of the invention for treating or preventing acne.
