Disclosed are acidic feminine intimate cleansing compositions having a pH in the range of from 3 to 5, which further necessarily comprises at least: as a primary antimicrobial active constituent, lactic acid, which may optionally be a substituted lactic acid and/or derivative thereof; and which composition further includes an anionic constituent system which boosts the antimicrobial efficacy of the primary lactic acid constituent present; and which compositions feature low irritation, and good antimicrobial efficacy against certain species of bacteria. Treatment processes using the feminine intimate cleansing composition in treatment of the groin area of human females, and vendible products containing the feminine intimate cleansing compositions are also disclosed.

Aspects of the present invention relate to an improved antimicrobial and/or anti-viral composition comprising an antimicrobial and/or anti viral mixture consisting of: H.sub.2O.sub.2 at a final concentration of between 3-7% v/v, and a poloxamer at a concentration of 0.1-10% w/v. The poloxamer is in a composite hydrogel formulation. The composition disclosed herein is antimicrobial and/or anti-viral and is particularly useful for cleaning, sterilizing, disinfecting, sanitizing, decontaminating and/or debriding biological surfaces and surfaces of biomaterials, such as when provided in a hand sanitizer, mouth wash, nasal rinse and/or for wound care and/or chronic ulcer care and use for dental prophylaxis and peri-implant health maintenance.

The lyophilized formulation of stem cell-derived exosomes and the anti-inflammatory composition including the same as an active ingredient is able to stabilize stem cell-derived exosomes and exhibit excellent anti-inflammatory effects, and particularly, exhibit remarkable anti-inflammatory effects as compared with not-lyophilized stem cell-derived exosomes isolated and purified from conditioned media of stem cells. Therefore, the lyophilized formulation of stem cell-derived exosomes and the anti-inflammatory composition including the same as an active ingredient is able to effectively prevent, suppress, alleviate, ameliorate or treat inflammatory response or inflammatory diseases.

Compositions comprising extracts from marine organisms show beneficial effects on skin ailments. Fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging in skin are improved with the application of compositions with marine extracts. Production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid are increased after application of the compositions.

The present invention relates to a composition having an anti-glycation effect and an application thereof. The anti-glycation composition includes the following constituents in parts by mass: 0.1 to 5 parts of Osmanthus fragrans extract, 0.1 to 5 parts of Punica granatum extract and 0.1 to 2 part of Olea europaea extract, wherein in the Osmanthus fragrans extract, a mass content of polyphenol is more than or equal to 10%, and a mass content of verbascoside is more than or equal to 10%; in the Punica granatum extract, a mass content of polyphenol is more than or equal to 30%, and a mass content of punicalagin is more than or equal to 8%; and in the Olea europaea extract, a mass content of polyphenol is more than or equal to 10%, and a mass content of hydroxytyrosol is more than or equal to 3%.

The present invention relates to a skin topical composition having an antipruritic efficacy, comprising a combination of (A) birch sap and (B) betaine, and the skin topical composition does not comprise water added as a separate component. The skin topical composition is a pharmaceutical composition or a cosmetic composition.

The invention provides probiotic bacteria and lysates thereof for use in methods of medical and cosmetic treatment. Use in the treatment of infections, including skin infections and methods involving regeneration or repair of the skin barrier are contemplated.

Embodiments of the disclosure relate to dissolvable solid foam compositions having a soluble polymer and a surfactant. The compositions may be biodegradable and a closed cell solid foam. Also described are kits, methods of preparation and methods of use of such dissolvable solid foam compositions.

Compositions comprising extracts from marine organisms show beneficial effects on skin ailments.

Compositions, kits, and methods for repairing bonds, for example, disulfide bonds, in hair or on the skin are disclosed. The compositions provide improved conditioning benefit for dry hair or moisturize the skin. The compositions also provide a long lasting moisturized feel and smooth feel to the skin or hair, without feeling greasy. The compositions contain one or more compounds that covalently bind at least two thiol groups in the hair or on the skin. Use of the binding compositions prevents reversion of the repaired bonds to their free thiol state, for at least one week or one month, or more, after a single application of the composition. Improved methods of styling hair, for example permanent hair waving, hair curling, hair coloring or highlighting, and hair straightening, are also provided.
