The current disclosure relates to a combination of ingredients including Plumeria alba (Frangipani) flower extract and salicylic acid. The composition can further contain hydroxyacetophenone, titanium dioxide, and/or carrageenan. This combination of components has been shown to be useful as a cleansing composition that is effective for reducing sebum, increasing clarity of the skin, and for improving the appearance of the skin by reducing shine and pore size. This combination of components has further been shown to be useful for reducing irritation and inflammation in the skin.

The present disclosure provides thirteen synthetic peptides which have been shown to be FGF18 agonists. These synthetic peptides and topical compositions for decreasing, eliminating, or suppressing hair growth are disclosed herein. Methods for reducing hair growth, improving the appearance of skin, kits, and related cosmetic formulations are also provided herein.

A physically stable skin care serum emulsion composition with a continuous phase and a dispersed phase. The continuous phase can include from about 0.5% to about 1.5% sodium hyaluronate with a weight average molecular weight from about 500,000 to about 1,000,000 Da according to the European Pharmacopoeia Method. The continuous phase can also include a thickening agent that includes polyacrylamide polymers and copolymers. The dispersed phase can include silicone. The composition can have an average viscosity from about 4,000 cP to about 25,000 cP and can be stored and dispense via a dropper package.
