Succinic acid esters of resveratrol and topical compositions containing the esters.

A method for treating intact irritated or inflamed skin with a composition comprising at least one Histamine Receptor pathway inhibitor; at least one Lipoxygenase pathway inhibitor; at least one Cyclooxygenase pathway inhibitor and at least one Chemotaxis pathway inhibitor.

The present technology relates to compositions, in particular, cosmetic, topical and pharmaceutical compositions, comprising extracts of plants in the family Zingiberaceae, as well as methods in connection with such compositions, including methods of reducing sebum production, reducing the appearance of oily skin, reducing the appearance of acne, reducing the appearance of pores, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, reducing free radicals, reducing baldness, reducing or increasing hair growth and reducing or increasing androgenic stimulation, or reducing the rate of oxidation.

A long lasting breath mint including a carrier and a flavorant, wherein the carrier includes at least one of a high viscosity cellulose ether and a low viscosity cellulose either and an alginate. The carrier forms a gel upon contact with saliva. A tablet is placed in the mouth of user, whereupon the tablet is wetted with saliva. A surface of the tablet is converted to a gel resulting in a tablet having an outer gel layer and a core. The gel serves as an adhesive for adhering the tablet to mouth structure. The gel slows exposure of the core to moisture and also slows diffusion of flavorant into the mouth of the user with the gel resulting in a breath mint having an extremely long life prior to complete dissolution, e.g., greater than 30 minutes or longer.
