The invention relates to stable liquid neurotoxin formulations which are free of animal proteins, comprising a surfactant, an amino acid selected from tryptophan and tyrosine, a buffer comprising sodium, chloride and phosphate ions, which have a pH between 5.5 and 8, and which are stable for 2 months. These compositions are suitable for use in therapy and in particular for administration to a patient to achieve a desired therapeutic or aesthetic effect. The invention also relates to the use of an amino acid selected from tryptophan and tyrosine to protect a proteinaceous neurotoxin from degradation in a liquid composition which is free of animal derived proteins.

A process for dyeing keratinous material is disclosed. The process includes applying an agent (a) and an agent (b) to the keratinous material. The agent (a) comprises (a1) at least one organic silicon compound, and (a2) at least one sulfated and/or sulfonated fatty acid ester. The agent (b) comprises (b1) at least one sealing reagent, and (b2) at least one first colorant compound. A multi-component packaging unit is also disclosed, and comprises, separately packaged, a first container comprising an agent (a′), a second container comprising an agent (a″), and a third container comprising an agent (b). The agent (a′) comprises (a1) at least one organic silicon compound. The agent (a″) comprises (a2) at least one sulfated and/or sulfonated fatty acid ester. The agent (b) comprises (b1) at least one sealing reagent, and (b2) at least one first colorant compound.

A composition comprising two peptides with a size of 11 and 12 amino acids, wherein 2-3 of said amino acids are cysteines and a suitable dermatology excipient, which can be used for treatment and grooming products for animal hair, preferably for treatment and cosmetics for human hair.

A water dispersable film-forming composition is disclosed. The composition comprises pullulan, sugar alcohol, and amino acid. The composition forms a moisturizing and transparent film. The composition provides an excellent rolling feeling when the contents are initially applied, thereby facilitating skin massage. Also, after rapid absorption of the composition into the skin, the viscosity increases again and absorption takes place, providing a feeling of a lot of nutrients and flexible film.

A composition comprising two peptides with a size of 11 and 12 amino acids, wherein 2-3 of said amino acids are cysteines and a suitable dermatology excipient, which can be used for treatment and grooming products for animal hair, preferably for treatment and cosmetics for human hair.

The present disclosure relates to compounds that are capable of inhibiting the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier and promoting hair growth. The disclosure further relates to methods of promoting hair growth or treating conditions or disorders affecting hair growth, such as baldness or alopecia.

The invention provides a fluorinated chitosan derivative as a drug carrier, which has the following structure: a fluorine-containing compound covalently attached to the backbone of chitosan. The chitosan has a molecular weight in the range of 1000-5000000, a degree of deacetylation of not less than 55%, and a viscosity in the range of 25-1000 cps. The fluorine-containing compound is a fluorine-containing aliphatic chain shown by the following chemical formula (I)

##STR00001##

or an aromatic ring with functional groups shown by the following formula (II)

##STR00002##

wherein R.sub.1 is halogen (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine), or a halogen-substituted alkane, cycloalkane, aldehyde group, carboxyl group, alkenyl group, alkynyl group, hydroxyl group, sulfonyl chloride, sulfonic acid bond or mercapto group, for interacting with a primary amino group. The compounds of the present invention can be universally bound to a variety of drugs to promote drug absorption and bioavailability, and reduce toxicity.

The invention relates to a personal care product for alleviating skin dryness, including facial skin dryness, body dryness, and breast skin dryness and for use as a massage oil. Embodiments of the personal care product include a formulation including cocoa butter, kokum butter, shea olein, and hyaluronic acid and/or cannabis oil. The personal care product may also include other plant-based glycerides, natural hormones, herbal roots and oils, amino acids, dietary supplements. The personal care product is substantially free of added water, alcohol, synthetic chemical, anti-microbial, and synthetic hormone.

The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising a eutectic mixture containing: an amino acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid, and water; or two types of amino acids. The cosmetic comprises either an amino acid and an alpha-hydroxy acid or two types of amino acids in the form of a eutectic mixture. Thus, a cosmetic composition with excellent skin penetration effect even under weakly acidic or neutral pH conditions, which causes less irritation, can be provided, wherein the cosmetic composition provides excellent keratin exfoliation, reduces the number of pores, enhances skin elasticity, and promotes skin regeneration while having excellent low-temperature stability.

Oral care compositions including peroxide and abrasive. Dentifrice compositions including peroxide and abrasive. Oral care compositions including peroxide and calcium pyrophosphate. Dentifrice compositions including peroxide and calcium pyrophosphate.
