The present disclosure relates to compounds, cosmetic or dermopharmaceutical compositions comprising the same, and methods for using the compounds or compositions for treating, protecting, and/or improving the condition and/or aesthetic appearance of skin, for example, treating, preventing, ameliorating, reducing and/or eliminating fine lines and/or wrinkles of skin, or improving the appearance of fine lines and/or or wrinkles of skin comprising application of the compounds or compositions disclosed. In some embodiments, the compounds useful in the methods described herein include compounds of Formula I: ##STR00001##
or a dermatologically acceptable salt thereof.

The present invention relates to the cosmetic or pharmaceutical use for a composition comprising a salicylic or nicotinic acid derivative inhibiting chemokines, for preventing or treating chronic internal and/or external inflammatory conditions.

A method of combatting colour loss from a dyed material, the method comprising contacting the material with a composition comprising an amine salt of a carboxylic acid wherein the carboxylic acid has 4 to 10 carbon atoms.

Hair bleaching compositions, methods for using hair bleaching compositions, and methods for preparing hair bleaching compositions are provided herein. The hair bleaching compositions comprise at least one gallic acid derivative, at least one amino acid and/or at least one amino acid derivative, at least one oxidizing agent, and optionally, at least one hair care agent and/or hair treatment agent.

Provided is a composition for skin improvement, including an amino acid complex as an active ingredient. The composition according to an aspect including the amino acid complex as an active ingredient may proliferate cells, promote expression and synthesis of collagen, and have an effect on skin wrinkles and skin elasticity, and thus may be effectively used for overall skin improvements.

Personal care topical compositions at skin-tolerant pH with cystine which is solubilized or has small crystal size below 20 microns. A process of making the composition is also described.

The present invention relates to a method for testing oral malodor, in particular oral malodor from coffee. Described herein are methods for testing the efficacy of an oral care composition to reduce oral malodor, the method comprising the steps of: a) cleaning at least a part of the oral cavity with an oral care composition; b) testing a sample of exhaled breath from the cleaned oral cavity to provide a test result representing a amount of at least one oral malodor component detected in the exhaled breath; c) exposing the oral cavity to an oral malodor material including or capable of forming the at least one oral malodor component; and d) testing a sample of exhaled breath from the oral cavity to provide a test result representing an amount of the at least one oral malodor component detected in the exhaled breath.

The present invention provides a composition containing component (A): a compound represented by the formula (1)

##STR00001##

wherein each symbol is as described in the DESCRIPTION or a salt thereof, component (B): a water-soluble moisturizing component and component (C): water, as a stable composition which is superior in affinity and adhesion to the skin and hair, easily provides effects as a cosmetic, and is also superior in the sustainability of the effect.

The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for providing full spectrum photo protection to skin, which includes protection from infrared (IR) radiation and/or visible light in addition to protection from UV radiation. The compositions typically include: (a) baicalin; (b) one or more antioxidants selected from the group consisting of venuceane, polydatin, hesperetin, mango leaf extract, vitamin C; (c) optionally, one or more solubilizers; and (d) a cosmetically acceptable carrier. The compositions are unique in that the combination of (a), (b), optional (c), and (d) alone, provide at least full spectrum protection from ultraviolet radiation (UV), visible light, and infrared radiation (IR). The composition can additionally, optionally, include one or more UV filters to further enhance protection from UV radiation.

The present disclosure relates to an active ingredient composition for the care of human hair. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a cosmetic agent for treating a keratinous material comprising a) at least one organic silicon compound and b) pyrrolidonecarboxylic acid or a salt of pyrrolidonecarboxylic acid, the cosmetic agent being particularly suitable for caring for stressed hair.
