The present invention relates to a controlled release device for oral cavity, which is attached on a hard dental surface of a tooth. The attachment is done using any adhesive layer that can attach on enamel surface of a tooth or using a holder attached to the hard dental surface, to which holder the device can be attached, clipped or fastened. The device comprises of two or more polymeric materials forming a polymer matrix or matrices. The polymer matrices incorporate one or more agent(s), which release rate in the oral cavity can be con-trolled with the polymeric materials in the matrices. The invention also relates to a method producing a controlled re-lease device for delivering an agent to the oral cavity.

A cartridge for an electrostatic spraying device according to the present invention is a cartridge for an electrostatic spraying device, the cartridge comprises a storage bag having a storage section in which a liquid composition is stored, the storage section is surrounded by a joint portion formed by joining a pair of laminates, each of the laminates comprises an innermost layer on the joint portion side, an outermost layer on a side opposite to the innermost layer, and a barrier layer between the innermost layer and the outermost layer, and the liquid composition comprises 50 mass % or more of a volatile liquid agent selected from alcohols and ketones.

Described are effervescent dissolvable solid structures having fibers formed from a composition comprising surfactant and water soluble polymeric structurant, having a total dissolvable solid structure density of from about 0.100 g/cm.sup.3 to about 0.380 g/cm.sup.3, having a surfactant dose of from about 0.5 to about 2.0 g, and a surfactant density of from about 0.1 g/cm.sup.3 to about 0.3 g/cm.sup.3. Also described are processes for manufacturing the Dissolvable Solid Structure.

A composition for enhancing protein strength according to the present invention contains an aminosilane compound capable of covalent binding with a protein of hair, scalp, skin, nails, leather, or textile, so that the protein and the amino silane compound form a covalent bond, and thus the composition can improve the protein strength enhancement effect and maximize the semi-permanent protein strength enhancement effect.

The present invention is a thin film patch to be attached to the skin and used for skin treatment or skin care. In particular, a water-soluble polymer compound is formed by means of melt spinning, melt blowing or electrospinning, into a water-soluble non-woven fabric of which the average diameter of fiber is 5 μm or less. The water-soluble non-woven fabric is coated with a coating agent comprising an active ingredient with a skin treatment or skin care effect; therefore, a thin film having the total thickness of 50 μm and the basis weight of 20 gsm or less is formed, wherein the water-soluble non-woven fabric has an electrically conductive material deposited thereon to have electrical conductivity and is connected to an electrode so that a current can be applied thereto.

A dissolvable solid article, comprising: water soluble polymer; a surfactant; at least one selected from diaminocarboxylic acid chelants and salts thereof; at least one selected from aromatic carboxylic acids and salts thereof; a phenolic derivative; at least one selected from α, β-unsaturated Aliphatic Carboxylic Acids, salts, and derivatives thereof; at least one selected from non-aromatic organic alpha hydroxy acids and salts thereof; wherein the dissolvable solid article has a pH of from about 3 to about 5.5 when dissolved with 20 parts water to 1 part of the dissolvable solid article. The present invention provides dissolvable solid articles which provide preservative efficacy even after dissolution of the articles, while controlling the concentrations of preservative ingredients in the solid articles.

A dissolvable solid fibrous shampoo article made from a plurality of fibrous elements intertangled or otherwise associated with one another to form the fibrous article. The fibrous elements can contain a polymeric structurant, a surfactant system that is substantially free of sulfate-based surfactants, and a pH adjuster that is a monoprotic organic acid and/or a coating comprising an additive that can be a hydratrope or a diprotic and triprotic organic acid and salts thereof.

The present invention relates to the use of a peptide comprising the sequence ID No. 1 and a cosmetic composition thereof in the treatment and prevention of skin aging and photo-aging.

The present invention relates to an asymmetric structure moisturizing mask pack comprising a polylactide. More specifically, the present invention relates to a porous membrane mask pack prepared from copolymers of polylactide and polyvinyl alcohol, wherein the skin contact surface of the mask pack is hydrophilic and the back surface thereof is hydrophobic.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a gel-type skin external composition containing a L-ascorbic acid derivative, which has excellent shape retention, stability, and excellent feeling of use even when salts coexist in the composition. The above problem is solved by providing a gel-type skin external composition containing a L-ascorbic acid derivative, a nonionic synthetic water-soluble polymer, and a natural water-soluble polysaccharide.
