A cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition contains at least one polymer precursor and at least one polymerization catalyst in the presence of which the at least one polymer precursor polymerizes under the action of light. Also, a process for skin tautening, skin fixation and/or wrinkle reduction includes an elastic, wearable polymer layer being formed on the skin when a polymer precursor and a polymerization catalyst are topically applied on the skin area to be treated and the skin area to be treated is subsequently exposed to light.

The present invention relates to the use of collagen hydrolysate for improving endurance performance by increasing mitochondrial activity. Further, the invention relates to the use of collagen hydrolysate for stimulating lipid catabolism, and in particular for reducing body weight, by increasing mitochondrial activity.

Disclosed is a method of treating a fine line or wrinkle in a person's skin. The method includes topically applying to the fine line or wrinkle a composition comprising an effective amount of Commiphora mukul resin or an extract thereof that includes oleo gum resin. Topical application of the composition to the fine line or wrinkle reduces the appearance of the fine line or wrinkle.

This disclosure relates to a method of reducing a fat deposit comprising injecting an alcohol-containing pharmaceutical composition into the fat deposit. The method may be effective in improving the appearance of or reducing the weight or volume of the fat deposit.

The present invention provides wound healing compounds, compositions thereof, and methods of treatment using the same.

The invention relates to a lipid extract of the seeds of passion fruit, Passiflora incarnata and/or Passiflora edulis, preferably P. edulis, characterised in that said lipid extract is an oil of passion fruit seeds concentrated in its unsaponifiable fraction, containing between 3 wt. % and 100 wt. % of unsaponifiable matter in relation to the total weight of the extract. The invention also relates to a method for preparing such an extract and to a composition comprising said extract, especially for the use thereof in a dermatological or pharmaceutical composition or as a food.
