Provided herein are sunscreen formulations containing a metal oxide sunscreen, squalane, and an antioxidant. The sunscreen formulations provided have increased SPF per unit mass of the metal oxide compared to sunscreen formulations that contain metal oxide without the addition of squalane and antioxidant. Also provided are methods of preventing UV damages to skin involving the application of the sunscreen formulation.

One aspect of the present disclosure is an organic/inorganic composite powder and a composition including the same in which a coating film on a surface of an inorganic powder is not easily fall off under various conditions such as pH, temperature, physical force, etc., so that has excellent moisture retention and less transferring and allows for natural makeup.

The present invention relates to methods and compositions for the delivery of cosmetics and medicants. In some embodiments, the invention relates to compositions comprising both hydrophobic and hydrophilic polymers. In preferred embodiments, the invention relates to the delivery of peptides, small molecules and other bioactive compounds using the compositions and methods disclosed herein.

Polymer combinations may be incorporated in a hydroalcoholic solution to improve fragrance longevity. The polymer combination may include at least one plant-based hydrophobic polymer, a hydrophilic polymer, a third cosmetically acceptable sensory polymer, and a fragrance oil in hydroalcoholic solution having prolonged fragrance intensity. The tri-polymer combination may synergistically create a film mesh on the surface of the skin that locks in the fragrance ingredients. The combination may provide an unexpected film forming property with the fragrance oil in hydroalcoholic solution, thereby providing a thin film matrix and adhesive power for the fragrance ingredients to attach/remain on the skin.

[Object] The present invention provides a sulfonated fine cellulose fiber having excellent viscosity and the like, as well as a sulfonated fine cellulose fiber production method capable of efficiently producing the sulfonated fine cellulose fibers.

[Method for Achieving the Object] A fine cellulose fiber obtained by fibrillating a cellulose fiber wherein a part of the hydroxyl groups of the fine cellulose fiber is substituted with sulfo groups, and an introduction amount of sulfur attributable to the sulfo groups is higher than 0.42 mmol/g. The fine cellulose fiber comprises a plurality of unit fibers and has an average fiber width of 30 nm or less. A dispersion liquid in which the fine cellulose fiber is dispersed in a water-soluble solvent at a solid concentration of 0.5% by mass has a viscosity of 5,000 mPa.Math.s or more at 25° C. This makes it possible to obtain the desired viscosity when the fine cellulose fibers are dispersed in a dispersion liquid.

An emulsion composition, a cosmetic composition, and a method for preparing an emulsion composition, in which the oil components are not limited to vegetable oils, and which do not require xanthan gum or welan gum as an essential component. The emulsion composition contains an oil component, an aqueous dispersion medium, an emulsifier, and CNF. The CNF is an emulsion stabilizer, and obtained by unmodified cellulose defibration, and the emulsifier amount is less than 20 mass % of the total composition. The cosmetic composition contains the emulsion composition. The method includes preparing an oil phase, preparing an aqueous phase, and emulsifying by mixing the oil and aqueous phases. CNF obtained by defibrating unmodified cellulose is added in at least preparing an aqueous phase or emulsifying, and an emulsifier is added in at least preparing an oil phase, preparing an aqueous phase, or emulsifying.

A clear personal cleansing composition having an anionic surfactant, a cationic deposition polymer, an aqueous carrier and a level of inorganic salt of from about 0 to about 1 wt %. The composition is substantially free of sulfates and has a % T of greater than about 80%. The composition can further comprise amphoteric surfactants. The composition remains phase stable and minimizes coacervate formulation until after dilution with water.

This invention relates to solid oral care compositions, for example a tablet, comprising a comprising a sugar alcohol and a lubricant. In certain aspects the invention is directed to solid oral care compositions that are tablets that comprise a lubricant, wherein the lubricant comprises a poloxamer, as well as methods of use and related kits.

A cream formulation or topical use made of a mixture of naturally occurring biologically active phytochemical compounds that possess a variety of beneficial animal and human health effects. An extract from an aqueous extraction process or other active ingredients could be used in the cream formulation. The present invention generally provides for the preparation of cream formulations containing active ingredients that contain individually, or in combination, an analgesic, natural product extracts, or a protein or proteins from the tripartite motif family of proteins (TRIM). The analgesic will provide mitigation of pain during the healing process.

The invention concerns a composition to be electrospun, which comprises a first compound to be electrospun and an electrospinning promoter, the function of which is to facilitate the electrospinning of the first compound, in particular to establish the electrospinning method in order to obtain regular fibers. A method to prepare the composition is also described, which provides a step of mixing a first compound to be electrospun with an electrospinning promoter.
