Disclosed is an encapsulated composition comprising at least one perfume and/or cosmetic ingredient that is entrapped in a matrix. The matrix comprises a starch and a hemicellulose.

The present invention refers to the oral and dental health care field since it refers to a modified and improved dental floss material aimed at preventing the onset and progression of dental caries and periodontal disease.

A topical composition comprising a Polymer, a high molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HWM HA) and/or its salt, a low molecular weight hyaluronic acid (LWM HA) and/or its salt, and a polyamino acid and/or its salt; and water and a method for identifying a test polymer that forms a micro-mesh structure when combined with such ingredients.

Skin care formulations that function via a multi-modal approach are provided in some embodiments in which select ingredients work together to protect skin from ultraviolet light, hydrates the skin and provides antioxidant properties.

A biodegradable single-phase cohesive hydrogel includes a homogenous mixture of 2 to 5 identical or different polymers interpenetrating each other in a single phase, wherein the polymers are independently crosslinked prior to interpenetration by mixing, and the crosslinked polymers are insoluble in water and miscible with each other.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a two-component cosmetic which, when a first formulation and a second formulation are sequentially applied, forms a uniform gel film on the skin while imparting a feeling of moisture permeating the skin, thereby providing an ideal skin feel. The present invention pertains to a two-component cosmetic containing: (1) a first formulation containing a gel formation-promoting substance; and (2) a second formulation containing a gel-forming substance. The two-component cosmetic is characterized in that the first formulation is applied to the skin, and then the second formulation is applied thereto.

Provided is a nonaqueous carbon dioxide external preparation in single dosage form, the external preparation comprising a paste base, carbonate, an acid and/or a substance which produces an acid by hydrolysis, and alcohol. Merely by being applied onto skin, this external preparation is useful due to obtaining the effect of a specific action of carbon dioxide.

A cosmetic composition and a method for forming a water resistant cosmetic composition are disclosed. The composition includes a salt activatable component combination having a holoside compound and an alginate compound. The composition also includes at least one cosmetic active agent. The composition has an increased salt water resistance when the salt activatable component combination is activated by a salt activator compared to a composition without said salt activatable component combination.

The invention relates to the use of a haemoglobin for the preparation of dressings and to the resulting dressings.

The present invention provides oral compositions. The compositions may be provided in a solid form, such as a film. The compositions can comprise one or more film forming polymers, one or more bioadhesive agents, one or more active agents, one or more polymeric solvents, and an aqueous solvent, with the proviso that the composition does not comprise benzocaine. The active agent(s) preferably are effective for a range of effects. The oral composition can be a solid or semi-solid composition up to a temperature of at least 40° C. Methods of providing such an oral compositions and methods of applying them to an oral or buccal cavity are also provided herein.
