A skin care, wound care, or oral care device, comprising an essential oil stabilized into a polymerizable substance.

The present disclosure provides a patch which is attached to a tooth or oral mucous membrane and releases an active ingredient to a portion attached, in which the patch comprises a drug layer having an adhesive surface attached to the tooth or oral mucous membrane and a backing layer laminated on the drug layer, and comprises at least one reticular structure inside the drug layer, and is divided into at least 2 drug layers at the boundary of or by the reticular structure.

A method for the preparation of a gelled polysaccharide foam, which includes the following steps: (a) the preparation of a mixture including at least one solubilized polysaccharide chosen from alginates, pectic substances, carrageenans, and mixtures thereof, at least one solvent of the polysaccharide, at least one ionic crosslinking agent of the polysaccharide, the crosslinking agent being not available, optionally a plasticizer soluble into the solvent, optionally a surfactant, and optionally an additive, (b) foaming and gelling the mixture prepared at step (a) by incorporating a pH modifying gas, and (c) optionally drying the gelled foam obtained at step (b). Also, the gelled foam obtained from such a method as well as the uses thereof.

Shampoo compositions having an anionic surfactant, cationic deposition polymer, sheet-like microcapsules and an aqueous carrier. The shampoo composition delivers both good in use benefits, while maintaining a consumer desirable appearance. The sheet-like microcapsules can also contain perfumes, extracts, dyes, colorants, and/or benefit agents.

The present disclosure relates generally to compositions that include at least two or at least three gelling agents, at least one emollient, and at least 15% water by mass relative to the total mass.

Described herein is a nanofibre matrix comprising 100% natural biopolymers selected from polysaccharides and/or proteins with optional functional ingredients for use as cosmetic products. More specifically, nanofibre matrix manufactured by electrospinning methods comprising a dry sheet without containing any preservatives, surfactants, solvents and crosslinkers. To use nanofibre cosmetic products, simply wet skin and then apply the nanofibre to skin. Functional ingredients may be optionally incorporated within the nanofibre matrix during electrospinning to provide different cosmetic effects. Functional ingredients offer skin benefits such as moisturizing, anti-ageing, wrinkle reduction, brightening, antioxidant and acne treatment. Functional ingredients can be essential oil where it is incorporated into nanofibre matrix to provide scent effect to cosmetic products. Functional ingredients can also be natural dye where it is incorporated in nanofibre matrix to make coloured nanofibres. Coloured nanofibres can be used for makeup products such as blush, eye shadow, eyebrow, nail polish, lipstick, contouring and hair dye product. The nanofibre matrix comprising 100% natural biopolymers with or without functional ingredients can be processed to assorted shapes or easily cut by consumers for using on different areas of skin for different purposes.

The present invention provides a simple method for producing a medical/cosmetic sheet that is excellent in adhesion to skin or the like and sense of wearing, and is capable of releasing a functional component gradually and supplying it continuously to a treatment area or the like, and a medical/cosmetic sheet produced by this production method. Provided is a method for producing a medical/cosmetic material including a step of shaping a raw material containing a water-soluble salt of a first polyanionic polysaccharide having a viscosity-average molecular weight of 10,000 or lower, and a water-soluble salt of a second polyanionic polysaccharide having a viscosity-average molecular weight of 50,000 or higher, and thereby obtaining a water-soluble shaped body. A medical/cosmetic material produced by this production method is also provided.

The inventions relate to cosmetology and are intended to increase a cosmetic effect. A mask comprises a cream-type cosmetic agent and an additional reagent, which are isolated from one another. The agent contains a water-soluble biocompatible polymer which has a mass in the range of 50,000-1,000,000 Da and is capable of entering into a cross-polymerisation reaction. The reagent consists of a substance-electrolyte solution containing multicharged ions. The mass ratio of polymer and substance-electrolyte is from 10:1 to 1:1 respectively. A method involves separately applying to the skin the cream-type agent and then the additional reagent on top.

A non-Newtonian, lyophilic colloid comprised of (i) at least one anionic, non-sulfated glycosaminoglycan (ANSG) having a molecular weight greater than about 500 kDa and (ii) glycerin.

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.
