The present specification discloses a composition for preventing hair loss or promoting hair growth comprising, as an active ingredient, extracellular follicles derived from lactic acid bacteria, and a method for preparing the extracellular follicles derived from lactic acid bacteria. The composition has an effect of preventing and prohibiting hair from falling off from the scalp or becoming thin or tapered. In addition, the composition has an effect of implementing a hair growth function for generating new hair, or a function for promoting the hair growth, as well as a function of promoting a delay from an anagen to a catagen phase of a hair cycle and a function of growing the existing hair healthy.

The present invention primarily relates to the use of 4-ethyl-octen-2-nitrile and/or 4-ethyl-octen-3-nitrile as fragrance. The invention further relates to novel fragrance compositions comprising 4-ethyl-octen-2/3-nitrile, perfumed products comprising 4-ethyl-octen-2/3-nitrile as well as diverse methods for imparting, modifying and/or enhancing certain scents.

Compositions comprising sun-care actives and self adapting polymers are disclosed. Self adapting polymers align themselves with the hydrophilic group pointing to the surface during application thus delivering an aesthetically pleasing surface to the consumers with a pleasant after feel. These polymers then rearrange upon contact with water so that the hydrophobic groups now point to the surface which then increases the water resistance of the formulation.

The compositions of the various embodiments include benzoyl peroxide and Hest G-18-0. The methods of this invention include treating acne, increasing the solubility of benzoyl peroxide, and treating the skin. Embodiments are also directed to a dual chamber package comprising a chamber for benzoyl peroxide and a chamber for Hest G-18-0.

The present invention relates to an odoriferous mixture with improved intensity and longevity, capable of masking bad odours, said mixture comprising at least dihydro-5-pentyl-2(3H)-furanone at a percentage between 20 and 80% by weight and 2,4-dimethyl-4-phenyltetrahydrofuran at a percentage between 20 and 80% by weight, the percentages by weight being relative to the total weight of said mixture. The invention also relates to the cosmetic, detergent or scented products comprising said mixture.

An antimicrobial composition that includes a rhamnolipid and a cell membrane disruptor, wherein the cell membrane disruptor includes a carboxylic acid selected from the group consisting of caprylic acid, azelaic acid, caproic acid, malic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, adipic acid, tartaric acid, and mixtures thereof, and wherein the cell membrane disruptor is present in the range of 0.01-10 wt % of the composition.

The present invention aims a new fragrance composition comprising a fragrance compound and a solvent or carrier, wherein at least 10% by weight based on the total weight of solvent and carrier of the fragrance composition is one or more specific low vapor pressure volatile organic compound (VOC). The new fragrance composition is particularly well adapted to air care devices like wicking or electrical systems (plug-in, reed diffusers . . . ).
