The present disclosure relates to a composition for preventing hair loss or promoting hair growth, which contains a mixture of cucumber, eggplant and snail extracts as an active ingredient. The composition according to the present disclosure, which contains a mixture of cucumber, eggplant and snail extracts as an active ingredient, has been confirmed to increase the expression of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) in dermal papilla cells which are known to play a critical role in the induction of new hair follicles and maintenance of hair growth, exhibit hair-growing effect comparable to that of minoxidil in a hair growth test for depilated 6-week-old C57BL/6 mice, and exhibit hair loss-improving effect in a clinical test for human. Accordingly, it can be usefully used as a cosmetic composition or a pharmaceutical composition for external application to skin for preventing hair loss or promoting hair growth.

Disclosed are a phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition, a hydrogen-generating skin care spray device including the same, and a method for preparing the same, wherein a phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition, which contains, on the basis of the total weight of the composition, about 95-98 wt % of water, about 1-3 wt % of a phytoncide undiluted liquid, about 0.05-0.5 wt % of gamma poly L glutamic acid, about 0.05-0.5 wt % of chitosan, and about 0.1-2 wt % of an emulsifier, is mixed with hydrogen generated by a hydrogen generator, thereby maximizing, at one time, the effect of the phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition, which is capable of suppressing the increase in collagenase in the skin due to ultraviolet radiation, and the effect of the hydrogen, which suppresses melanin synthesis by ultraviolet radiation and makes active oxygen generated due to the ultraviolet radiation harmless to the human body.

The use of long-chain alkenones to impart desired characteristics in personal care compositions for topical applications is described. The preparation of mixtures long-chain alkenones and synthetic derivatives thereof is presented. Examples of compositions include abrasive soaps, with alkenones serving as natural exfoliating agents. Alkenones and their derivatives can serve as emollients, occlusive agents, stabailizing agents, binding agents, thickening agents, surfactants, and antimicrobials.

This invention is a process for the manufacture of water stable, antimicrobial silanol quaternary ammonium compounds (SQACs) and the trisilanol, polysiloxanol and water soluble polysiloxane derivatives thereof. The stabilizing agent is selected from a list of antimicrobial, naturally occurring, renewable phytochemical essential oils and extracts that easily form crystal clear microemulsions when water is added to the concentrated SQAC/essential oil mixture. These non-foaming oil in water microemulsions have excellent long term storage stability, are freeze/thaw stable, remain very low in viscosity and do not phase separate or precipitate for many months. Many of the essential oils found to be useful in this process are non-toxic food additives and have pleasant scents, have low flammability yet are volatile enough to evaporate upon cure down of the SQAC, thereby resulting in a higher concentration of SQAC in the cured, antimicrobial film. Economically shippable concentrations of the stabilized SQACs can be further diluted with water to application concentrations without loosing any of their stabilizing properties and remain storage stable at these lower concentrations indefinitely. In particular, the invention relates to the use of such viscosity controlled aqueous dilutions cured as durable antimicrobial coatings for human or animal skin that covalently bond to the skin, remain active through many washings and reduce or eliminate bacteria, viruses and fungi for days.

Disclosed herein are a bio-cellulose sheet without a supporting means, in which the bio-cellulose sheet includes coconut and contains a preservative including a plant extract, a bio-cellulose sheet product including the bio-cellulose sheet without a supporting means, and production methods thereof. The bio-cellulose sheet without a supporting means and the product including the same have a high content of a cosmetic composition, are less irritating to the skin, and are convenient to use. The use of the methods for producing the bio-cellulose sheet without a supporting means and the product including the bio-cellulose sheet results in increased efficiency and a reduced production cost.
