The invention provides an antimicrobial personal cleansing composition comprising: (i) an aqueous continuous phase including one or more anionic cleansing surfactants; (ii) a dispersed phase including dispersed particles of zinc pyrithione (ZPT); (iii) a structuring polymer for the aqueous continuous phase which is selected from crosslinked alkali-swellable acrylic emulsion (ASE) polymers; and (iv) from 3 to 20 wt % niacinamide based on the total weight of the composition, wherein the structuring polymer is selected from crosslinked copolymers of (meth)acrylic acid with one or more C1 to C5 alkyl esters of (meth)acrylic acid.

The present invention relates to a structure for accelerating transdermal absorption, a manufacturing method thereof, and a cosmetic composition comprising the same, and the structure for accelerating transdermal absorption comprises an acicular body; a hydrophilic group binded to the acicular body; and a carrier binded to the hydrophilic group.

Compositions are provided that contain biologically active components of amniotic fluid including growth factors and other proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and metabolites. The compositions containing biologically active components of amniotic fluid can be useful for a range of therapeutic treatments including joint and soft tissue repair, regulation of skin condition, and for use in organ preservation, such as for use in organ transplant procedures. Advantages of the compositions include that they can be reproducibly produced, without the inherent variability of amniotic fluid from individual donors, and that they are free of fetal waste.

The present invention is in the field of personal care compositions; in particular skin lightening compositions. A composition that combines the cyclic adenylic acid reduction and the reduction of melanin content in melanocytes remains to be desired. It has been found that niacinamide in combination with MMP inhibitor galardin synergistically reduces melanin content in melanocytes. The invention thus relates to a composition comprising a synergistic combination of niacinamide and galardin for use in skin lightening. Thus the composition, when applied topically over an appropriate length of time in-vivo, may be used to lighten the skin, or to reduce age spots or freckles.

A thickened aqueous composition containing about 0.01% to about 10%, by weight, of an superabsorbent polymer, about 0.1% to about 20%, of a silicone elastomer; about 0.1% to about 20%, by weight, of a fatty alcohol; and from about 20% to about 98% of water.

The non-therapeutic cosmetic treatment method includes at least: —applying an active composition including at least niacinamide onto the skin of a subject, and—illuminating the skin using at least one light source emitting at a wavelength of between 620 and 690 nanometres, preferably 660 nanometres, the illumination being carried out before, at the same time as or after the application of the composition. A device is configured for implementing such a method.

A physically stable skin care serum emulsion composition with a continuous phase and a dispersed phase. The continuous phase can include from about 0.5% to about 1.5% sodium hyaluronate with a weight average molecular weight from about 500,000 to about 1,000,000 Da according to the European Pharmacopoeia Method. The continuous phase can also include a thickening agent that includes polyacrylamide polymers and copolymers. The dispersed phase can include silicone. The composition can have an average viscosity from about 4,000 cP to about 25,000 cP and can be stored and dispense via a dropper package.

A physically stable skin care composition with a continuous phase and a dispersed phase and a method for making the same. The continuous phase can include from about 0.5% to about 1.5% sodium hyaluronate with a weight average molecular weight from about 500,000 to about 1,000,000 Da according to the European Pharmacopoeia Method. The continuous phase can also include at least two thickening agents that can includes polyacrylamide polymers and copolymers and a carboxylic acid polymer. The dispersed phase can include silicone. The composition can have an average viscosity greater than 25,000 cP and the sodium hyaluronate can be fully hydrated.

A hand-held device with a paddle, an arm and a handle. Using the handle and arm, the paddle is slapped/tapped against the face to, in effect, provide a workout for an individual's facial skin and facial muscles. One purpose of a workout for the facial muscles is to tighten the facial muscles by inducing/stimulating the production of new and healthy collagen, improve skin firmness and texture, and blood circulation. The skin's cells need good circulation to heal and produce collagen. The slapping/tapping of the face creates a superficial trauma to the skin and muscles which tricks the body into producing high levels of collagen to assist in the healing process without causing any actual damage to the skin.

A cosmetic composition for topical skin application and for use in reducing the appearance of scars comprising a combination of arginine and glutamine. The composition comprises L-Arginine in combination for L-Glutamine and further comprises bromelain, tetrahydrobisdemethoxydiferuloylmethane and tetrahydrocurcumin. Additional ingredients include various antioxidants, moisturizers, skin protectants, and vitamins together to promote the healing of affected skin while reducing visible scarring.
