An oral hygiene composition which relates to oral hygiene compositions. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a toothpaste which combines stannous fluoride and tea tree oil (Melaleuca). The composition prevents tooth decay and new cavity formation on enamel and dentin, reducing dentinal hypersensitivity when used regularly. The present disclosure helps prevent gum disease (Gingivitis) bad breath and improves oral hygiene and overall health.

The present invention generally relates to the field of skin care. More particularly, the invention relates to a cosmetic or therapeutic skin care composition comprising live bacteria of at least one Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes) strain in combination with an excipient that specifically supports their viability during storage and/or their ability to replicate after application to the skin. Preferably, the cosmetic or therapeutic skin care composition comprises bacteria of at least one C. acnes strain selected from the group consisting of D1, A5, C1, C3, H1, H2, H3, K1, K2, K4, K6, K8, K9, L1, and F4. The invention also provides a method for treating or preventing acne by applying the skin care composition of the invention to a skin area in need of treatment. The invention also relates to the use of a skin care composition of the invention for treating or preventing acne.

The disclosure relates to compositions comprising (a) at least one polyphenol; (b) at least one film former; (c) at least one gum; (d) at least one emulsifier; (e) at least one fatty alcohol; and (f) at least one solvent. Optionally, the compositions may further comprise at least one humectant and/or at least one fatty acid. The compositions can be used for styling hair, for example temporarily straightening the hair and/or for reducing frizz of hair. The disclosure also relates to methods of using the compositions to style hair, straighten hair, and/or reduce frizz of hair.
