A cosmetic composition is disclosed for applying to skin. The composition includes a liquid and dispersed in the liquid: any amount or form of fucoidan, any amount or form of beta glucan; and any amount of a marine extract. When the cosmetic composition is applied to the skin, the appearance of the skin is improved.

The present invention relates to novel microalgae with high productivity of loliolide, in which the Scenedesmus sp. HS4 of the present invention can be used as a biological resource to produce loliolide due to its high biomass productivity and high loliolide content, and can be used as a pharmaceutical composition or cosmetic composition which requires loliolide derived from Scenedesmus sp. HS4.

A novel cosmetic skin care composition is provided which comprises a solubilized lipophilic peptide, preferably palmitoyl peptide, preferably palmitoyl-GHK-Cu, at a concentration in the range of 0.2-1.1%, the formulation being substantially free of alcohols or preservatives. A method of formulating the composition is also provided to provide a high concentration of the peptide in the final composition.

Disclosed is a confectionery product for instant optical tooth whitening comprising artificial and/or natural dyes and characterised by the ability to produce an immediate whitening effect after extremely short contact times with the teeth.

A method for making a composition for enamel regeneration proposes to encapsulate soluble calcium and phosphate salts within corresponding internal water phases in respective water-in-oil-in-water emulsions stabilized by solid particles, and add them to a toothpaste, enamel restoring gel or mouth wash base. In this way, the soluble calcium and phosphate salts can be present stably in the toothpaste, enamel restoring gel or mouth wash over a long period of time. When the toothpaste, enamel restoring gel or mouth wash of the present disclosure is used in oral cavity, the water-in-oil-in-water emulsions rapture under the effect of friction and pressing, releasing the soluble calcium and phosphate salts encapsulated within the corresponding internal water phases. As a result, the liquid in the user's oral cavity will contain high concentrations of calcium and phosphate ions, which can enhance the rate of enamel remineralization.
