The present invention discloses a human body cleaner and manufacturing method thereof. The human body cleaner comprises 1% wt˜60% wt of garlic extract, and 40% wt˜99% wt of cleaning agent. The method for manufacturing the human body cleaner comprises the following steps: preparing a plurality of garlics, adding water in a predetermined ratio to a plurality of garlics to obtain a garlic mixture, adding yeast in a predetermined ratio to the garlic mixture and leaving it to stand for a period of time for fermentation to obtain a garlic fermentation broth, performing cryogenic distillation on the garlic fermentation broth to obtain a garlic extract, and adding a cleaning agent in a predetermined ratio to the garlic extract for mixture to obtain the human body cleaner. The present invention uses the herbal human body cleaner made from garlic to clean human body and reduce symptoms of dandruff. Moreover, long-term use of the present invention will not cause either antibiotic resistance or environmental degradation.

Described herein is an anti-dandruff composition including at least two anti-dandruff actives selected from a punicalagin composition; a first monoterpenoid composition, or a second monoterpenoid composition; and a dermatologically-acceptable carrier. The two or more anti-dandruff actives are present in the anti-dandruff composition in an effective amount to treat or prevent dandruff caused by the proliferation of Malassezia furfur.

This present invention relates to scalp nourishing wipes used to prevent dry scalp and to remove any dirt buildup or fungus development that causes itchy scalps. The scalp wipes are infused with a novel aloe and mint based solution. The scalp wipes can be applied to the scalp surface to maintain the moisture level of the skin, which eventually nourishes the skin in single application. The scalp wipes are manufactured using bio-degradable material and is eco-friendly. Further, the scalp wipes of the present invention can be stored in containers that features a sealed lid to prevent the scalp wipes from prematurely drying out.

Disclosed is a topical composition comprising: (i) an antimicrobial active which is at least one of piroctone, caprylhydroxamic acid, benzohydroxamic acid, or piroctone olamine; and (ii) norbraylin. Also disclosed is a non-therapeutic method of providing topical antimicrobial benefit on a topical surface of a human or animal body comprising a step of applying a safe and effective amount of the topical composition.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising kakkalide. In addition, the composition of the present invention comprising kakkalide can be variously used for brightening the skin, improving wrinkles in the skin, moisturizing the skin, inhibiting bacteria in the skin, preventing hair loss, or promoting hair growth.

An aqueous anti-dandruff shampoo composition which comprises: (I) a cleansing surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactant, zwitterionic or amphoteric surfactant and nonionic surfactant; (II) suspended particles of an anti-dandruff agent, (III) an anti-settling, thickening polymer, wherein the anti-settling, thickening polymer, comprises: (a) 40 to 74.5 wt % of structural units of C.sub.1-4 alkyl acrylate; (b) 20 to 50 wt % of structural units of methacrylic acid; (c) 0.2 to <5 wt % of structural units of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS); (d) 5 to 25 wt % of structural units of a specialized associated monomer having the following structure wherein R.sup.1 is a linear saturated C.sub.10-24 alkyl group; wherein R.sup.2 is a hydrogen or a methyl group (preferably, wherein R.sup.2 is a methyl group); and wherein n is an average of 20 to 28; with the proviso that the structural units of the specialized associated monomer (d) are derived from one of (i) a single specialized associated monomer (preferably, a single specialized associated monomer wherein R.sup.1 is selected from the group consisting of a linear saturated C.sub.12 alkyl group, a linear saturated C.sub.18 alkyl group and a linear saturated C.sub.22 alkyl group; more preferably, a single specialized associated monomer wherein R 1 is selected from the group consisting of a linear saturated C12 alkyl group and a linear saturated C18 alkyl group); (ii) two specialized associated monomers, wherein R.sup.1 is, respectively, a linear saturated C.sub.12 and a linear saturated C.sub.18 alkyl group; or (iii) two specialized associated monomers, wherein R.sup.1 is, respectively, a linear saturated C.sub.18 alkyl group and a linear saturated C.sub.22 alkyl group; (e) 0 to 1 wt % of structural units of acrylic acid; and (f) 0 to 2 wt % of structural units of multi-ethylenically unsaturated crosslinking monomer or chain transfer agent; and wherein the sum of the weight percentages of structural units (a)-(f) is equal to 100 wt % of the anti-settling, thickening polymer; and the use of such a composition in a method of treating hair or scalp.
