The present invention refers to Pickering emulsion comprising (i) water; (ii) 10 to 50 wt.-% oil, based on the total weight of the Pickering emulsion and (iii) 1 to 10 wt.-% of Pickering pigments, based on the total weight of the Pickering emulsion, wherein the Pickering pigments are calcium carbonate particles selected from surface-reacted calcium carbonate (SRCC) or mixtures of ground calcium carbonate (GCC) and surface-reacted calcium carbonate (SRCC) and wherein the calcium carbonate particles have a volume median particle size d.sub.50 value from 0.2 .Math.m to 10 .Math.m. Furthermore, the present invention refers to a composition comprising said Pickering emulsions and a method of preparing such Pickering emulsions. The present invention also refers to the use of calcium carbonate particles as Pickering pigments for stabilizing Pickering emulsions comprising water and 10 to 50 wt.-% oil, based on the total weight of the Pickering emulsion, wherein the calcium carbonate particles are selected from surface-reacted calcium carbonate (SRCC) or mixtures of ground calcium carbonate (GCC) and surface-reacted calcium carbonate (SRCC) and have a volume median particle size d.sub.50 value from 0.2 .Math.m to 10 .Math.m.

Disclosed are a novel self-assembled amino acid supramolecular polymer, a preparation method therefor, and an application thereof. The self-assembled supramolecular polymer is N-lauroyl-L-alanyl-L-alanine or a salt thereof, and the salt thereof comprises sodium N-lauroyl-L-alanyl-L-alaninate and potassium N-lauroyl-L-alanyl-L-alaninate. The disclosed polymer is more effective at inhibiting bacteria and removing pesticides, and can be widely applied to the daily chemical, agricultural, and pharmaceutical industries. Further disclosed are three methods for preparing the compound. The methods produce products in high yields and are suitable for industrial production.

Compositions comprising emu oil as a vehicle for the delivery of other active ingredients for the treatment of cosmetic and other skin imperfections such as acne, wrinkles, and hair loss are disclosed. Methods of treating cosmetic and other skin imperfections using the compositions are also disclosed.

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.

A hair or skin treatment composition for improving health of hair or skin includes an ointment obtained by heating one or more of castor oil, animal fat, and vegetable oil with a mash comprising one or more of carrots, onions, coconut flesh, and watercress, for between one and eight hours to generate, after straining to remove solids, a preliminary oil mixture. The preliminary oil mixture is heated with one or more of citrus juice and nutmeg, for between one and eight hours, to generate, after straining to remove solids, an intermediate oil mixture. The intermediate oil mixture is heated with sulfur, petrolatum, and at least one agent configured for absorbing or blocking ultraviolet radiation to generate, upon cooling, the ointment, which can be applied to hair or skin of a user to effect a physical or aesthetic change thereto.

The present application is related to cancer immunotherapy, e.g. stimulation of T cell mediated anti-tumor therapy. Accordingly, described herein are methods of inducing or enhancing an adaptive immune response to a cancer in a subject and methods of treating cancer in a subject. In some embodiments, the methods hyperactivate dendritic cells (DCs), which induce T helper type I (TH1) and cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses in the absence of TH2 immunity.

This invention relates to compounds that treat microbial skin infections. Previously, powered forms of talk were difficult to apply to skin without becoming a lung irritant. Embodiments of the present invention use talc, lanolin, petroleum jelly, sodium lauryl ether sulfate, sodium chloride, water, sodium salicylate, Lauryl ether sulfate, Isopropyl palmitate, propylene glycol, mineral oil, and sodium benzoate.

Embodiments of the present disclosure recite medicated cosmetic skin creams containing Yel002, methods of manufacturing said creams, and methods of using said skin creams.
