The present invention relates to a method of capturing and stabilising volatile thiol malodour generated on the human skin, comprising steps of: i) contacting the human skin with a substrate, ii) absorbing said thiol into the substrate, and iii) reacting said thiol with a thiol-capture agent. The invention also relates to a method of quantifying said thiol, a method of assessing the deodorizing performance of a cosmetic composition on the human skin.

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating hair loss, a health functional food composition or a cosmetic composition, including a specific compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient, wherein the compound exhibits an excellent hair growth recovery effect in hair follicle tissues in which hair growth is inhibited without cytotoxicity, and thus hair loss can be more effectively prevented, improved, or treated.

A pharmaceutical composition or a cosmetic composition for treating hair loss, or promoting hair growth is described. The composition according to the present invention exhibits an excellent effect of treating hair loss and promoting hair growth, and can be safely used regardless of sex and age.

The present invention relates to a compound represented by the following formula (I): A[B—(C).sub.v].sub.w, wherein A is a photoprotective moiety, B is a linker, C is a functional group, v is an integer from 1 to 2000, and w is an integer from 1 to 6. It also relates to a composition comprising the same and, more particularly, to a cosmetic or a sunscreen composition. It also relates to the use of such compounds in cosmetic and therapeutic applications. The invention also relates to the use of such compounds for reducing photodegradation and/or photoinstability of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. The invention further relates to a material comprising a support and such a compound adhered to said support.

The present invention provides three embodiments to create and apply a tattoo to a dermal area of a recipient wherein the tattoo is non-permanent. The present invention includes a first embodiment and a second embodiment wherein the tattoo ink is removable via introduction of a solution and/or a solvent. A third embodiment of the present invention provides a method for tattoo ink creation that provides a tattoo ink that will degrade within the aqueous bodily environment over a period of time based on the polymer with which the water soluble dye is created. The first embodiment utilizes an organic dye that contains at least one metal atom. A solution containing a chelating agent is presented to the tattooed area wherein the chelating agent will extract the metal atom resulting in disappearance of the tattoo ink. Another embodiment utilizes wax encapsulated ink to be removed by presentation of a solvent.
