The present invention relates to a two-component cosmetic composition for wrinkle reduction. The two-component cosmetic composition for wrinkle reduction according to the present invention forms a coating having a sufficient strength to reduce a scrubbing phenomenon caused by external force and has a suitable viscosity as well as no cloudiness phenomena arising.

The present invention relates to antimicrobial formulations. More particularly, the invention relates to monovalent copper-containing and/or monovalent copper-generating products for healing wounds and burns, and particularly for chronic wounds, prevention of wound infections and infections in various implants as well as medical/surgical devices.

Cosmetic compositions, systems and methods for conferring responsive durable shaping of keratinous fibers employ at least one shape memory polymer that includes a four-armed branched polyethylene glycol (PEG) based polymer that is functionalized with one or more metal-coordination active groups. The shape memory polymer forms a crosslinked network coating on a substrate, for example a substrate selected from keratinous substrates, for example, hair. Hair coated with the shape memory polymer and treated with an oxidizing agent can be shaped, locked into shape, and reprogrammed by modulation of pH. The coated hair retains durable shaping properties through at least one shampoo treatment. The cosmetic compositions, systems and methods provide durable and reprogrammable durable shaping of the keratinous substrate, for example for styling hair.

Oral care compositions comprising an amino acid and stannous ion source, especially in the absence of a soluble zinc ion source, are provided for promoting Gum Health of a user.

The present invention involves the formation of host-guest complexes between C-methylresorcin[4]arene and Oxybenzone (OXB). NMR spectroscopy confirmed the formation of a weak host-guest complex and molecular dynamics docking simulations indicated that this complex likely had a 1:1 stoichiometry. Furthermore, skin permeation testing revealed that complexation by C-methylresorcin[4]arene significantly reduced the amount of OXB that permeated skin. These results show the potential of supramolecular complexation for improving the stability and decreasing the skin permeability of OXB, thus limiting harmful side effects.

Described is an initial liquid composition with at least antimicrobial, antibacterial, and/or anti-viral properties comprising chelated metal oxide particles suspended in a polyol, such that metal oxide particles are homogeneously dispersed in a primarily liquid based polyol carrier so that chelated metal oxide particles form a stable complex suspension that is optionally an alkaline based aqueous silver oxide dispersion. The liquid composition can be subsequently added to any polymer or polymer compound/system where the polymer degrades or melts at a temperature lower than the polyol carrier degradation or boiling temperature. The metal oxide complex may also impart beneficial semi-conductive or conductive as well as permeability and flammability property changes to the polymer (host) system.

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.

An opaque antiperspirant composition, including an antiperspirant active, a high HLB surfactant, an emollient, and a gelling agent, wherein the high HLB surfactant includes a high HLB glyceryl monostearate mixture.

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 invention relates to a composition comprising 5 to 100 wt. % of a structured aqueous phase wherein the composition contains 0.1 to 10 wt. % sericin by weight of water, said sericin having a proportion of beta-sheet in the secondary structure that exceeds 80%. It was found that sericin having a proportion of beta-sheet in the secondary structure that exceeds 80% is an excellent water structurant and can suitably be used to structure the aqueous phase of a wide range of products, such as cosmetic products, pharmaceutical products, food products and detergent compositions.
