The invention relates to a cosmetic foam made from a) an O/W emulsion containing glycerine and b) mono- and/or polyvalent alcohols with a carbon chain length of less than 12 C-atoms and c) a gas or gas mixture of propane, n-butane and/or isobutane, foaming the emulsion, which emulsion is fre of polyethylene glycol derivatives (PEG derivatives).

Toothpaste formulations supporting the health, well-being, and/or appearance of a user's skin is described herein, as are coordinated uses of such formulations. Methods of using these formulations to support the beauty, health, well-being, and/or appearance of a user's skin are described. Kits are also identified.

Disclosed in certain embodiments herein is a formulation including a plant-based growth factor and at least one of a peptide, an antioxidant and a botanical agent. The formulation has been found to improve the properties of the skin on the face and on areas under the eye. Also disclosed herein are methods of administering the formulation described herein for treating a skin.

There is disclosed a composition comprising a water-insoluble thermoplastic compound capable of stimulating collagen synthesis (CSSC), the CSSC having a molecular weight of more than 0.6 kDa and being dispersed in a polar carrier as nano-elements having an average diameter of 200 nm or less and a viscosity of 10.sup.7 mPa.Math.s or less. The nano-elements of CSSC can be capable of stimulating the synthesis of skin proteins and/or enabling the delivery of active agents upon their application to a surface to be treated therewith. Methods for preparing the compositions and uses thereof are also provided.

A reduced coenzyme Q.sub.10-containing composition has high water solubility and excellent storage stability. A powder composition contains the reduced coenzyme Q.sub.10, starch octenylsuccinate, and gum Arabic. A method of producing the powder composition includes homogenizing the ingredients in water to obtain an emulsion composition; and drying the composition.

An agent for oxidatively changing the color of keratin fibers, such as human hair, may include at least one complexing agent of the general formula (I); at least one activator from the group of amino acids, protein hydrolyzates, and radical scavengers; and at least one oxidant.

A mixture, comprising at least four different chemical compounds, selected from the group consisting of calcium ascorbate, tocopherol acetate, coenzyme Q.sub.10, eicosapentaenoic acid, usnic acid, L-carnitine fumarate and norspermidine, is used in dental health compositions. The mixture when used for dental hygiene has bactericidal and bacteriostatic effectiveness against S. mutans and S. sorbinus.

A system for producing a customized skin care product in less than five minutes includes active ingredient premixes, premix dispensers respectively operable to dispense a predefined quantity of the active ingredient premixes by a single dispenser operation, skin care product bases, product base dispensers respectively operable to dispense a predefined quantity of the skin care product bases by a single dispenser operation, and instructions executable by a processor to receive data indicative of a customer's skin condition and generate a recipe for producing a customized skin care product containing specified percentages by weight of two or more active ingredients suited for the customer's skin condition. The recipe defines a number of operations of one or more of the premix dispensers and one of the product base dispensers. The system further includes a mixing machine operable to mix the contents of a closed container filled in accordance with the recipe.

The present disclosure relates to a process for preparing a Lawsonia inermis extract which is rich in Lawsone. It also relates to the extract which may be obtained by said process and to a composition comprising thereof. The disclosure also relates to a method for dying fibers, in particular keratin fibers.

The present disclosure provides at least one skin supplement composition that has been shown to be advantageous for healthy skin, preferably comprised of hydrolyzed collagen, glucosamine sulfate, biotin, vitamin A palmitate, vitamin E, alpha lipoic acid, coenzyme Q.sub.10, pine bark extract, L-selenomethionone and niacinamide. An advantageous nootropic composition is also disclosed preferably comprised of ascorbic acid, taurine, elemental magnesium, glycinate, L-theanine, L-tyrosine, pine bark extract, N-acetyl-L-carnitine, DL-choline bitartrate, maca root, glucosinolates, P5P (pyridoxal-5-phosphate) and alpha ketoglutaric acid. A method to provide a specifically tailored supplement is also disclosed, preferably of collecting dry blood spots, analyzing the dry blood spots with tandem mass spectrometry, determining an amino acid kinetic pattern based on the analysis, and generating the specifically tailor supplement based on the pattern.
