The present specification discloses compositions comprising one or more encapsulates comprising one or more agents and methods and uses for the disclosed agents. A composition disclosed herein can be incorporated into a body wash, an after shower body lotion, a shampoo, a conditioner, a soap, a gel, a hand sanitizer, a cream, a spray, a mouse, a lotion, an ointment, a make-up product, a lip balm, a hair spray product, an arachnid/insect repellent or a medicinal product.

Disclosed is a composition for promoting biosynthesis of elastin or collagen. The composition improves the ability of fibroblasts to biosynthesize elastin and collagen and is thus used to restore skin elasticity deteriorated due to aging or light exposure, remove wrinkles and facial lines, improve vascular elasticity deteriorated due to aging, and hypertension and decreased blood circulation caused thereby, and enhance tendon and ligament elasticity and joint elasticity.

Antimicrobial polymer coating formulations are prepared that protect biological surfaces by treating, reducing, ameliorating, preventing or inhibiting pathogenic microorganism ingress to a human or animal host, reducing the potential for infection, particularly by necrotizing fasciitis originating microorganisms, through use of a polymer coating barrier containing antimicrobial agents that facilitates sustained release of biocidal agents active against such opportunistic microorganisms. Such formulations are effective for inhibiting microbial ingress pertaining to soft tissue and skin tears, abrasions, punctures and surgical wounds, and can be used as in water environments and as a skin protectant sunscreen and insect repellent.

A composition contains 2 to 6 parts by weight of at least one rhamnolipid, 1 to 4 parts by weight of at least one alkyl polyglycoside, and 1 to 3 parts by weight of at least one acyl lactylate.

A topical preparation for use in treating dermatological ailments is prepared from a mixture comprising salicylic acid or a salt thereof, zinc or a salt thereof, iodine or a salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier vehicle. The preparation comprises any one or more of anti-inflammatory properties, keratolytic properties, anti-pruritic properties, anti-carcinogenic properties. Methods of treatment involving topical application of the preparation are also described.

The present invention relates to a 3′-ketoglycoside compound defined by formula (I) and its use for controlled release of alcohols, in particular alcohols showing an insect repellent effect. It relates also to a process for preparing the 3′-ketoglycoside compound of formula (I). It further relates to a composition comprising a 3′-ketoglycoside compound of formula (I). It relates also to the use of a 3′-ketoglycoside compound of formula (I) for the controlled release of alcohols. It related also to a method of use of such composition.

An application of a series of compounds in controlling or killing mites. It has been found by comparison that the compounds, when compared with a control group, can reduce the survival time of mites; in particular, taraxerol, diosmetin, and taraxasteryl acetate can significantly shorten the survival time of mites, and can be used for miticide and mite control products (such as drugs, cosmetic products, daily products and so on).
