The present technology generally relates to compositions comprising cannabidiol (CBD) or a derivative thereof and at least one active cosmetic ingredient, for use in cosmetics and personal care products such as anti-aging or moisturizing creams for skin care and massage oils for muscle therapy.

The present invention relates to particularly stable and soluble scFv antibodies and Fab fragments specific for TNF, which comprise specific light chain and heavy chain sequences that are optimized for stability, solubility, in vitro and in vivo binding of TNF, and low immunogenicity. The antibodies are designed for the diagnosis and/or treatment of TNF-mediated disorders. The nucleic acids, vectors and host cells for expression of the recombinant antibodies of the invention, methods for isolating them and the use of the antibodies in medicine are also described.

The present invention relates to a non-hygroscopic salt of the compound 2-(3-(4-propylheptyl)morpholino)ethan-1-ol having the INN name delmopinol. In particular, the invention relates to the citrate salt of delmopinol. The present invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the citrate salt of delmopinol depicted below. ##STR00001##

Suggested is a method for making and using an extract of halophytes or psammophilous plants comprising the steps of contacting the plant materials with a solvent, re moving the dissolved extract from the residue, recovering the extract and topically or orally administering the extract to a patient in need of dysfunctions of skin and hair.

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 a filler 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 object of the invention is topical compositions comprising pea proteins and polyphenols and the use thereof for the treatment of local or generalised disorders caused by increased permeation of the natural epithelial barriers. Said disorders may be of bacterial, viral, inflammatory, allergic and/or fungal origin, or endogenous or idiopathic.

Disclosed are compositions, methods of treatment using the compositions and methods of preparing the compositions for the treatment of acne vulgaris. The compositions include succinic acid and an API selected from the group consisting of salicylic acid, azelaic acid, picolinic acid, benzoyl peroxide, antibiotic, retinoid and combinations thereof in a pharmaceutically acceptable preparation. The compositions that include the combination of succinic acid and another API produce improved efficacy in treating acne vulgaris.
