The present disclosure provides compositions as topical creams for treating vaginal atrophy, methods of making these compositions, and methods of using these compositions to treat vaginal atrophy.

A colchicine-containing composition comprising colchicine as the active ingredient or colchicine in combination with pentoxifylline and tocopherol (Vitamin E) which are formulated for topical use in the prevention and treatment of radiation-induced fibrosis. And methods of making and administering the colchicine-containing compositions. The compositions can be used as topical applications for the prevention and treatment of radiation-induced fibrosis, commonly known as scarring, that can be debilitating, and can occur as a late and permanent complication of radiation therapy

Personal care compositions and methods of use are disclosed herein. A personal care composition is provided comprising: a skin protection system comprising: an amino acid complex; and optionally one or more antioxidants; a penetration enhancer; and a cosmetically acceptable carrier.

Provided is a beauty care pack including a release film and a beauty care sheet which is separably attached to the release film, wherein the beauty care sheet comprises: a support; a fiber layer which is laminated on the support and in which water-soluble polymers are formed in the form of a nanofiber web; a moisturizing layer which is laminated on the fiber layer and consists of the water-soluble polymers and moisturizing materials; and a beauty care layer which is laminated on the moisturizing layer and in which the water-soluble polymers and functional materials are formed in the form of a nanofiber web, such that active ingredients are absorbed into the skin while being dissolved by moisture.

The present invention is drawn to personal care products containing combinations of plant-based glyceride butters and plant-based glyceride oils, and their use in retaining moisture and natural flora in the skin, such as the hands and vaginal lips.

Methods for producing cellulose articles having controlled release of active ingredient include dispersing pulp in aqueous direct solvent for cellulose to form a slurry. Organically modified or ion-exchange-activated phyllosilicate is homogenized in a direct solvent for cellulose with exfoliation by shearing, then mixed with the slurried pulp. A mixture of active ingredient and a lipophilic matrix material or a water-in-oil (“W/O”) emulsion containing active ingredient is stabilized with thickener, converted into a gel-like paste, and mixed with the slurried pulp. Water is stripped from the mixture until all cellulose is dissolved, the mixture is formed into shaped articles, and dried. Exemplary active ingredients include cosmetic active ingredients, fat-soluble vitamins or apolar plant extracts. Domains of active ingredient and matrix material or emulsion containing active ingredient are present as fine divisions within the inventive articles. Exemplary shaped articles include functional fibers in knitted, woven and nonwoven fabrics; paper; foils and membranes.

The present invention relates to cochleates using phosphatidylserine/anionic surfactant/calcium chloride and, more specifically, to cochleates comprising phosphatidylserine, an anionic surfactant, calcium chloride, an active ingredient, and water.

Certain dermatological formulations for direct skin application that correct for hyperpigmentation effects are provided. Such formulations include a number of different compounds that work synergistically to effectuate multiple and varied pathways to pigment removal and/or brightening within the dermal layer. The ability to do so without the necessity for hydroquinone, and thus with a suitable composition that is safe for handling and utilization by pregnant and nursing women, is accorded through a combination of specific ingredients in limited proportional ranges, as well. Such ingredients include kojic acid, niacinamide, sodium hyaluraonate, tocopherol, and licorice extract in very narrow ranges proportionally within an aqueous serum. The method of manufacture and use thereof such formulations are encompassed within the invention as well.

A subject matter of the present invention is a composition comprising: a) at least multilayer spherical composite particles comprising i) a core comprising at least one material A having a refractive index ranging from 1.3 to 1.8; and ii) at least one layer covering said core, comprising at least one material B having a refractive index ranging from 1.9 to 3.1; and iii) optionally at least one second layer covering the material B, comprising at least one material C having a refractive index ranging from 1.3 to 1.8; said composite particles being present in an amount less than 28.0% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition; and b) at least one UV-screening agent.

This composition is for topical use and is more particularly intended for the photoprotection of the skin and/or hair against ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

Provided are a multilayered cationic liposome for enhancing skin absorption, a cosmetic composition including the same, and a method of preparing the same.
