The present invention relates to a multi-postbiotics-compounded rejuvenating essence, which includes the following components in percentage by weight: 8.0-13.0% of butanediol, 2.0-3.0% of triglyceride octoate/caprate/succinate, 2.0-3.0% of polyglutamate sodium, 0.5-1.0% of extract of Japanese Ardisia herb stems, 0.5-1.0% of yeast/rice ferment filtrate, 0.5-1.0% of fission yeast mycelium ferment filtrate, 0.5-1.0% of lactobacillus/mung bean extract/sodium glutamate ferment filtrate, 0.5-1.0% of lactobacillus ferment, 0.5-1.0% of bacillus/rice bran extract/soybean extract ferment filtrate, 0.5-1.0% of Streptococcus thermophilus ferment, 0.1-0.2% of collargol, and 65.3-79.4% of deionized water, wherein the essence is put in an airtight container and is injected with hydrogen. The present invention can achieve an effect of repairing the skin, and the combination of active substances with the hydrogen injected has a prominent effect on reducing the amount of allergic erythema and alleviating the recurrent allergic redness and rashes.

Provided is a method capable of manufacturing high-purity 1,3-butylene glycol having a high potassium permanganate test value, a very low content of low boiling point components, and a high initial boiling point with a high recovery rate.

The method for manufacturing 1,3-butylene is a method for obtaining purified 1,3-butylene glycol from a crude reaction liquid containing 1,3-butylene glycol. In a dehydration column used in a dehydration step, a liquid feed containing 1,3-butylene glycol and water with an acetaldehyde content of 1000 ppm or lower and a crotonaldehyde content of 400 ppm or lower is distilled under a condition of a reflux ratio of higher than 0.3, and a liquid concentrated with a low boiling point component containing water is distilled off from above a feed tray. In a product column used in a product distillation step, a 1,3-butylene glycol liquid feed with an acetaldehyde content of 500 ppm or lower and a crotonaldehyde content of 200 ppm or lower is distilled under a condition of a reflux ratio of higher than 0.1.

The present disclosure relates to silica particles comprising repeating units of (SiO.sub.4/2) that are spherical in shape, which has the benefit of compatibility with personal care components and the resulting personal care applications. The present disclosure also relates to methods of preparing silica particles.

A bacterial ferment obtained by a method including the following steps: (a) culturing Lactobacillus species in at least one growth medium for at least 24 hours; (b) separating the mixture via centrifugation; (c) adding lactic acid to the supernatant obtained from step b) in an amount sufficient to lower the pH value of the supernatant; (d) stabilizing the resulting mixture with the addition of at least one preservative and/or at least one multifunctional; and optionally (e) filtering the mixture to remove any final precipitation.

The inventive subject is directed towards ready-to-use topical cosmetic formulations that include at least one defensin present in sub-antimicrobially effective concentrations. Surprisingly, even at such low concentrations, defensins recruit LGR6+ stem cells from hair follicles to the interfollicular space. Including defensins in the inventive topical cosmetic formulations may reduce one or more of wrinkle depth, wrinkle length, wrinkle width, pore size, irregularity in texture of a skin surface, oiliness, brown spots, and red spots in non-injured skin, thus reducing apparent age.

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.

The present disclosure discloses a composition for skin anti-inflammation and skin moisturizing, which contains an Artemisia extract extracted using a skin cosmetic solution as an extraction solvent as an active ingredient. Specifically, the composition according to the present disclosure, which contains the Artemisia extract obtained using an effective and safe extraction solvent, may exhibit superior skin safety and usability as well as superior anti-inflammatory and moisturizing effects. In addition, the composition according to the present disclosure, which contains the Artemisia extract extracted using the skin cosmetic solution that can be used as a cosmetic ingredient as an extraction solvent, may superbly maintain Artemisia flavor without an additional flavoring agent.

Disclosed is a composition including, per 100% of its mass: a) 60.0% to 75.0% by mass of an organic solvent (OS.sub.1) chosen from 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,3-butanediol, 1,2-butanediol, 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, 1,8-octanediol, or a mixture of these compounds; b) 0.1% to 2.0% by mass of a composition (ES) including an amount by mass x.sub.1, expressed as mass equivalent of 1-O-(2-caffeoyl)maloyl-3,5-di-O-catfeoylquinic acid, of greater than or equal to 200 mg/g of a compound of general formula (I):
