A topical skin composition is disclosed. The composition includes Echinacea purpurea extract, Silybum marianum extract, behenyl alcohol, bisabolol, shea butter, Carthamus tinctorius oil, cetyl alcohol, citric acid, Cocos nucifera oil, glycerin, Helianthus annuus seed oil, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium hyaluronate, and squalane.

A composition and method for lightening skin includes applying a skin care composition including cell culture extract of Earliella scabrosa. A method for culturing Earliella scabrosa including using an inducer, select carbohydrates and optimal processing condition produces increased skin lightening properties of the cell culture extract.

Disclosed is a composition comprising ascorbic acid or a derivative thereof, a silicone containing compound, and an essential oil, wherein at least 50% of the initial amount of the ascorbic acid in the composition remains stable when the composition is stored for at least 1 month at room temperature. The composition can be non-aqueous.

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.

The present invention relates to a phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition, a hydrogen-generating spray device for skin care including the same, and a method of manufacturing the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition, a hydrogen-generating spray device for skin care including the same, and a method of manufacturing the same, wherein the phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition, as a mixture of about 95 to 98% by weight of water, about 1 to 3% by weight of an undiluted phytoncide solution, about 0.05 to 0.5% by weight of gamma-poly L-glutamic acid, about 0.05 to 0.5% by weight of chitosan, about 0.1 to 2% by weight of an emulsifier, and the like based on a total weight of the phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition, is mixed with hydrogen generated by a hydrogen generator to suppress increase in a collagenase in the skin caused by ultraviolet rays and simultaneously maximize the effect of suppressing melanin synthesis by ultraviolet rays and the effect of hydrogen capable of making active oxygen generated by the melanin synthesis harmless to the human body, and the generated hydrogen is stored in an aluminum pouch, from which the hydrogen does not leak, to allow efficient use of a phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition saturated with the hydrogen without waste of the hydrogen.

Disclosed herein are methods and compositions comprising whole yeast organisms and/or lipid yeast extract. Such compositions may be cosmetic, medical, biotechnological or agricultural compositions, comprising one or more cosmetic, medical, biotechnological or agricultural ingredients. The invention comprises methods of making such compositions. The yeast components of the compositions may be derived from yeast cultures which comprise at least 0.1% oil by dry weight.

The invention relates to hydrogen peroxide stabilized with a coated particle with a diameter of 10.sup.4-10.sup.3 nanometres of one or more antimicrobial plant extracts. These plant extracts are particularly stabilized with a coating of one or more non-toxic alcohols, such as polyols with hydrogen-absorbing properties. The stable hydrogen peroxide according to the invention can be widely applied as disinfectant by removal of bacteria, fungi, viruses, algae, protozoa and/or nematodes. It is for instance possible here to envisage disinfection of surfaces, equipment, air, water and application in human hygiene, in short, any application for which hydrogen peroxide is suitable.
