The present disclosure relates to a moisturizing or anti-atopic composition, including a fatty acid or a fatty acid derivative. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a moisturizing or anti-atopic composition including at least one compound selected from the group consisting of ethyl linoleate, α-linolenic acid, and monolinolein as an active ingredient. The composition for moisturizing or anti-atopic dermatitis, according to the present disclosure, has not only low cytotoxicity but also an anti-inflammatory effect, an increase in the amount of moisturizing factor production, an increase in the amount of skin bather strengthening factor production, and an active effect to inhibit the production of atopic factors, so it can be used in various fields such as beauty for improving skin condition, pharmaceuticals, and food.

The present disclosure relates generally to oral compositions and methods for freshening breath and oral cleansing, and more particularly, to oral compositions comprising a combination of an extract of magnolia and a hydrocarbon. The oral compositions are useful for improving oral health, including freshening breath and reducing the adherence of plaque to teeth.

The invention provides a topical o/w emulsion which moisturizes, and protects, repairs or restores the skin lipid barrier of a mammal. The topical o/w emulsion composition comprises: a) a discontinuous oil phase; b) a continuous aqueous phase comprising water; c) a thickening agent; d) at least one lamellar membrane structure comprising (i) a phospholipid, (ii) a fatty alcohol, and (iii) a fatty acid; e) a pharmaceutically acceptable active agent; and f) optionally a dermatologically acceptable excipient. In one embodiment, the composition, in use, has a water vapor transmission rate of less than or about 75 g.Math.m.sup.−2.Math.hr.sup.−1 measured in vitro using the modWVTR test methodology.

Compositions comprising select meroterpenes and a linoleic component and the use thereof in regulating the endocannabinoid system (ECS), especially in controlling and/or reducing the levels of cortisol: thereby having a stress reducing or inhibition effect.

Compositions for topical application that effectively deliver antioxidants across the epidermis, dermis, or a combination thereof into cells and/or the bloodstream while concurrently maintaining chemical activity of the antioxidants. In certain aspects, these formulations include emulsions and balms each having a lipophilic carrier and a lipophilic antioxidant solubilized by the lipophilic carrier. Also disclosed herein are methods for making these compositions for topical application.

The present invention relates to cosmetic formulations with a high moisturizing power comprising, as active principle, ucuuba (Virola surinamensis) butter comprising myristic acid in high concentration, more particularly in a concentration equal to or greater than 70% of the constitution of said butter. Additionally, the invention relates to products comprising such cosmetic formulations, as well as to the use of ucuuba butter for the preparation of a differentiated cosmetic product with high skin moisturizing power, as will be demonstrated in the present patent application. The invention further discloses a cosmetic kit comprising the formulation disclosed with a suitable applicator and instructions for use.

Described herein is a powdered soap comprising a plurality of particles, each of the particles comprising: an ionic polymer; and a fatty component comprising compounds having C.sub.8 to C.sub.18 chains.

New surfactants with emulsifying, bio and eco-compatible properties, having long-chain aliphatic amides, obtained by a green method, deriving from amino acids, fatty acids and/or oils and/or butters, treated with microwave irradiation are provided.

The present invention relates to maresins, preferably maresin-1, for use in the treatment of CNS injuries preferably selected from spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury.

The present invention relates to a composition for keratin fibers comprising: (a) at least one non-neutralized anionic surfactant; (b) at least one non-ionic surfactant; (c) at least one fatty alcohol; and (d) at least one alkaline agent, wherein the composition does not comprise more than 2% by weight of a phosphoric surfactant. The present invention can provide the composition for keratin fibers which can suppress its ammonium odor and have improved stability.
