A hair care oil composition including Eclipta alba. The compositions are useful for treating the hair and scalp.

The present invention is related to a topical pharmaceutical composition and cosmetic composition comprising a combined herb extract of Longanae Arillus,Ligustici Tenuissimi Rhizomaand Polygalae radix as an active ingredient to treat and alleviate skin ulcer.

A capsule delivery system. The system has a first capsule containing a first capsule wall encapsulating a first active material and a second capsule containing a second capsule wall encapsulating a second active material. The first and second capsules differ in their wall materials, amounts of wall materials, ratios of wall materials, core modifiers, scavengers, active materials, curing temperatures, heating rates, curing times, or a combination thereof. Also provided is a consumer product containing this capsule delivery system.

In one aspect, provided is an aqueous antiseptic composition comprising glycerin 8.5-16% by weight; caprylyl glycol 0.45-3% by weight; and a first ingredient; wherein the first ingredient is acrylates/C10-30 about 0.01-0.1% by weight or ethoxydiglycol about 1-5% by weight. The glycerin, the caprylyl glycol and the first ingredient taken together form a first component. A sum of the first component is more than 13% by weight of the antiseptic composition. Other exemplary embodiments are also described. In certain embodiments, provided is an antiseptic composition useful for making skin or hand sanitizers that have a long-lasting, great antiseptic efficacy but at the same time having skin-moisturizing, low toxicity and low skin-irritating, hypo-allergenic properties, low inflammability, and low production cost.

The invention relates to a personal care product for alleviating skin dryness, including facial skin dryness, body dryness, and breast skin dryness and for use as a massage oil. Embodiments of the personal care product include a formulation including cocoa butter, kokum butter, shea olein, and hyaluronic acid and/or cannabis oil. The personal care product may also include other plant-based glycerides, natural hormones, herbal roots and oils, amino acids, dietary supplements. The personal care product is substantially free of added water, alcohol, synthetic chemical, anti-microbial, and synthetic hormone.

Compositions and methods for modulating inflammation and wound healing are provided.

Disclosed are oral care compositions, for example dentifrice compositions, comprising an oral care composition comprising an orally acceptable vehicle, metal oxide particles having an average particle size of no greater than a dentin tubule and at least one amino acid capable of chelating the metal oxide. The composition may comprise a polymeric adherent material for adhering the metal oxide particles in the dentin tubule. The metal oxide particles have a median particle size of 5 microns or less, and may comprise zinc oxide.

Compositions and methods are disclosed herein for inducing (up-regulating) the expression of sulfotransferases in the hair follicles, e.g., the scalp. Increasing sulfotransferase is beneficial for metabolizing pro-drugs that require sulfonation to be activated, e.g., minoxidil sulfate is the active metabolite of minoxidil. A method for combining the compositions described herein with topical minoxidil to enhance minoxidil treatment for androgenetic alopecia is described. Additional methods and compositions include the use of retinoid X receptor agonists, retinoic acid receptor agonists, and nuclear receptor agonists in an RXR—NR heterodimer. Additional methods and compositions include the use of a topical solution containing an alkalinizing agent or an alkalinizing agent used with a penetration enhancer for up-regulating the sulfonating capacity of hair bearing skin, hair follicles, and/or keratinocyte cells. In addition, compositions and methods for increasing or decreasing the growth rate of hair follicles is disclosed by altering the intracellular pH.

A natural hair product for improving and restoring the condition of hair, and promoting the strength and growth of the hair, includes filtered water, burdock powder, stinging nettle powder, peppermint, horsetail powder, lavender flowers, and hibiscus flowers, in a base of olive oil, avocado oil, vitamin E, and lavender oil. If desired, the hair preparation may also include rosemary and fenugreek powder. The method of making the hair product is also disclosed.

A method for making highly soluble Stevia sweetener compositions is described. The resulting sweetener compositions readily provide high concentration solutions, and also possess superior taste qualities. The compositions can be used as sweeteners, sweetness enhancers, and flavor enhancers in foods, beverages, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
