Provided is a new application for D-pantothenyl alcohol. It is a melanogenesis inhibitor comprising D-pantothenyl alcohol.

Various embodiments disclosed relate to water-based nail-treatment compositions including a first film-forming copolymer that is a copolymer of a (C.sub.1-C.sub.5)alkyl ester of methacrylic acid, of a (C.sub.1-C.sub.5)alkyl ester of acrylic acid, or a combination thereof, and of methacrylic acid. The nail-treatment compositions also include a second film-forming copolymer that is a copolymer of isophorone diisocyanate, a poly((C.sub.2-C.sub.3)alkylene oxide), and 2,2-bis(methylol)propionic acid. Methods of using the nail-treatment compositions and cured products of the same are also provided. A cured product of the nail-treatment composition can be monolithically peelable from the nail.

A method for treating skin of a person in need thereof is disclosed. The method includes topically applying to the skin of the person a composition comprising an effective amount of an aqueous, alcoholic, or aqueous-alcoholic extract from Ficus lacor, wherein the extract from Ficus lacor reduces oxidation in the skin or reduces MMP-1 activity in the skin.
