A periorbital skin serum in accordance with the present disclosure comprises squalane (sugarcane derived), vitamin E (tocopheryl acetate), vitamin C (tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate), and ubiquinone (coenzyme Q10, oxidized form).

The invention relates to a composition comprising melatonin, a metabolite or derivative thereof and coenzyme Q10 and to use thereof for the production of a pharmaceutical or cosmetic composition for the treatment of the skin, said composition potentiating the movement of both molecules into the mitochondrion and facilitating percutaneous absorption, in which both the melatonin and the CoQ10 can reach all of the strata of the skin.

The invention relates to a composition comprising melatonin, a metabolite or derivative thereof and coenzyme Q10 and to use thereof for the production of a pharmaceutical or cosmetic composition for the treatment of the skin, said composition potentiating the movement of both molecules into the mitochondrion and facilitating percutaneous absorption, in which both the melatonin and the CoQ10 can reach all of the strata of the skin.

A botanical uni-sourced drug-loaded lipid-based nanoemulsion produced from one single medicinal herb such as Nigella sativa, Cannabis sativa, or Curcuma longa, wherein the herb acts as a comprehensive provider for the bioactive phytochemicals, oil phase, saponin surfactant, co-surfactant, proteins, and carbohydrates to produce the uni-sourced safe, clear, stable lipid-based drug delivery system. The nanoemulsion can be formulated into oral dosage form including nanoemulsion, microemulsion and liposomes, wherein the extraction and emulsification are carried out by the addition of water-soluble organic solvent, wherein the product can be further fermented and esterified for improved stability, wherein Nigella sativa uni-sourced nanocompositions are used as first-in-class oral formulation to relax coily hair targeting the arrector pili muscle in the hair root, anticancer, anti-tuberculosis, anti-COVID-19; and antiviral treatment, Cannabis nanocompositions are used for medical or recreational purposes, and Curcuma longa is used for nutraceutical and treatment purposes.

A method for the prevention, reduction and treatment of gingivitis, white spots in an oral cavity on teeth and attributable to caries, cavities, and/or combinations thereof, oral cavities, caries, or a combination thereof in a subject in need thereof is provided. The method may include administering a medicament comprising hops beta acid, and a metal. The metal may comprise tin, zinc, or combinations thereof. The medicament is an oral care composition that is substantially free of fluoride.

The present invention relates to a composition for dyeing keratin fibers, comprising (a) at least one direct dye; and (b) at least one oxygen-containing polycyclic compound which has at least one oxygen-containing polycyclic ring. The composition according to the present invention may further include (c) at least one specific sulfone compound. The composition according to the present invention is a one-part composition and can prevent or reduce skin staining by the direct dye on the skin such as the scalp, while providing the keratin fibers with good cosmetic effects such as good coloring properties.

Described are compositions containing quinones that show activity in enhance DNA repair and/or prevent damage to DNA and/or upregulate genes associated with wound healing. The quinones are thymoquinone, lapachol, myrtucommulone C, or mixtures thereof, and can be formulated into cosmetic compositions for topical administration to a subject in need thereof. The cosmetic compositions can also include sunscreens, surfactants, sunless tanning agents, desquamation agents, antiperspirants, colorants, preservatives and mixtures; and a cosmetically acceptable carrier. The compositions should find use in methods for treating the signs of ageing in mammals, dermatitis and wound healing via topical application to a site in need thereof, such as the skin or hair of the mammals or a wound site.

The present invention provides a stable fat-soluble active ingredient composition, microcapsule and process for preparation and use thereof. The fat-soluble active ingredient composition comprises tocopherol, vitamin C palmitate and a fat-soluble active ingredient; wherein the weight ratio of tocopherol to vitamin C palmitate is 2-8:1, the weight ratio of a combination of tocopherol with vitamin C palmitate to the fat-soluble active ingredient is 7-13:100. The present invention obtains a novel antioxidant composition without hidden dangers for improving the stability of the fat-soluble active ingredient by screening a combination of antioxidants and adjusting their proportion and dose.
