An objective of the invention is to provide a sunscreen cosmetic that increases the ultraviolet protection power of ultraviolet protectants, thereby achieving high ultraviolet protection power using only a small amount of ultraviolet protectants, while simultaneously providing an excellent texture and placing little strain on the skin. The sunscreen cosmetic according to the present invention contains the following components (A) to (C): (A) an ultraviolet protectant; (B) silica having a particle size of 0.3 to 1 .Math.m; and (C) a powder having a particle size of 1 to 30 .Math.m; wherein the (C) powder is of one or more types selected from the group consisting of silica, aluminum starch octenyl succinate, cellulose or derivatives thereof, waxes, mica, sericite and biodegradable resins.

A skincare product having packaged in a container a stable and effective ascorbic acid (vitamin C) serum formulation formulated from a skincare composition and a composition therefor. The composition comprises several types of hydrophilic ascorbyl (vitamin C) molecules in their respective suitably selected concentration ranges, several types of hydrophobic ascorbyl (vitamin C) molecules with their respective suitably selected concentration ranges, glutathione to co-stabilize the water phase vitamin C, bisabolol to prevent skin irritation from high vitamin C concentration, and a lipid cap that contains several types of vitamin E and squalane (non-oxidizable) to insulate hydrophilic/water phase from air.

Shaving systems, methods, and devices, include a shaving device and a shaving device holder that prolongs a usable duration of the shaving device. The shaving device holder has a receptacle portion that holds a fluid (e.g. oil) which creates an oxygen free environment for a blade of the shaving device when the blade is submerged in the fluid. The system further includes components for preserving the fluid, such as a movable lid to guide water and debris away from an interior of the receptacle portion, and a wicking material to absorb water that ingresses into the interior the receptacle portion. A base plate attaches to an underside of the receptacle portion with one or more positioning protrusions shaped to fit the receptacle portion. Additionally or alternatively, a vertical backstop and/or shaving cover can enclose the shaving device and provide a surface for mounting the devices to an environmental surface.

A method of applying a skin peel formulation or product that includes providing a skin peel formulation or product containing at least 10% of the total weight of the skin peel formulation or product being vitamin A. Also provided is vitamin C present in at least 20% of the total weight of the skin peel formulation or product, wherein the vitamin C is in oil soluble form. The skin peel formulation is applied to a region of the body without any acid pre-treatments. After application of the skin peel formulation the user waits at least 25 days before reapplying the skin peel formulation again.
