Described herein are complexes comprising a cationic antibacterial agent and a metal salt, personal care compositions comprising same; along with methods of making and using these complexes and compositions.

Described herein are anti-microbial and UV-protective biological devices and extracts produced therefrom. The biological devices include microbial cells transformed with a DNA construct containing genes for producing proteins such as, for example, zinc-related protein/oxidase, silicatein, silaffin, and alcohol dehydrogenase. In some instances, the biological devices also include a gene for lipase. Methods for producing and using the devices are also described herein. Finally, compositions and methods for using the devices and extracts to kill microbial species or prevent microbial growth and to reduce or prevent UV-induced damage or exposure to materials, items, plants, and human and animal subjects are described herein. Also disclosed are biological devices producing polyactive carbohydrates and carbo sugars, as well as compositions and articles incorporating both extracts from these devices and the anti-microbial and UV-protective extracts.

A dermal skin protectant and carrier comprising a combination of two different viscosity dimethicone components, wherein the difference between the two different viscosity dimethicone components is about 2.0 million cP or greater; and comprising at least one active ingredient.

A deodorant stick comprising: at least about 25% of a liquid triglyceride; at least one antimicrobial; a primary structurant with a melting point of at least about 50° C.; and less than 8% of secondary structurants having a melting point of at least about 60° C.; said stick being free of an aluminum salt; and said stick having a hardness from about 80 mm*10 to about 140 mm*10, as measured by penetration with ASTM D-1321 needle.

The present invention is related to the field of liquid disinfectant formulas, specifically with obtaining disinfectant compositions applicable to hard and smooth surfaces, porous surfaces and for human use; particularly with disinfectant compositions that allow the surface or surfaces where it is applied, a disinfection with a prolonged effect, for periods greater than 24 hours. More particularly with the use of long-lasting disinfectant compounds, some of them approved by international agencies such as the EPA, and which are also approved by the FDA for cosmetic use due to their low or null toxicity. More particularly, the present invention relates to the formulation of said compositions.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising probiotics, preferably based on bacteria, in particular of the genus Lactobacillus, to be used for the purpose of preventing and/or treating the disorders affecting the skin, in particular inflammatory disorders, in particular autoinflammatory disorders of dermatological interest such as atopic dermatitis. Furthermore, the composition of the invention is useful for preventing and/or reducing the damage induced by UV radiation, in particular skin aging.

The invention relates to cosmetic and dermatological preparations which comprise a combination of levulinic acid and anisic acid. The preparations according to the invention are particularly suitable for use on skin. The preparations have a selective antibacterial effect on skin by specifically controlling anaerobic bacteria of the skin flora while having little or no bactericidal effect on aerobic bacteria. The compositions according to the invention are therefore suitable for cosmetic skin care and for the dermatological treatment of certain skin disorders, such as acne.

An aqueous skin-compatible antimicrobial solution effective against yeasts and mycobacteria, comprises 2-3.8 wt % of at least one peroxygen; from 1.5 up to 7 wt % of at least one aromatic monohydroxy alcohol selected from phenoxyethanol, phenethyl alcohol, cyclopentylmethanol, cyclohexylmethanol, benzyl alcohol, or any mixture thereof; from 0.5 up to 5 wt % of at least one high foaming amine oxide amphoteric surfactant; from 2 up to 10 wt % of at least one polyol-based skin conditioning agent; an effective amount of at least one pH adjusting agent for adjusting the solution pH to 2-3. The solution has a redox potential value from 220 to 280 mV, is readily biodegradable, and is free of aromatic carboxylic acids, inorganic salts, quaternary ammonium compounds, volatile aliphatic monohydroxy alcohols, other volatile organic compounds, halogen containing compounds, and other antimicrobial agents.

Eggshell membranes with high collagen and hyaluronic acid content are separated from the eggshell wastes by means of a foam separation method. During the foam separation, the eggshell membranes are enriched with the extract obtained from olive leaf and olive mill wastewater, which include phenolic compounds having antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, to obtain an antimicrobial and antioxidant compound that can be used in natural supplementary food products or cosmetic products.
