The present invention relates to non-elicited dedifferentiated plant cells of a plant of the species Lavandula angustifolia, or extracts thereof, and also to the cosmetic composition comprising same, to the uses thereof and to cosmetic treatment processes comprising the application of said composition to the skin for improving and/or reinforcing the barrier function, and also for improving the moisturization of the skin.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising: (a) at least one particle comprising at least one cationic polymer and at least one anionic polymer, at least one cationic polymer and at least one amphoteric polymer, at least one anionic polymer and at least one amphoteric polymer, or at least one amphoteric polymer, and at least one non-polymeric acid having two or more pKa values or salt(s) thereof or at least one non-polymeric base having two or more pKb values or salt(s) thereof; and (b) water, wherein the anionic polymer is selected from hyaluronic acid and derivatives thereof, and the amphoteric polymer is selected from cationized hyaluronic acid and salts thereof. The composition according to the present invention is stable, and can have a variety of cosmetic functions. The stickiness of the composition according to the present invention can be reduced.

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 disclosure provides a method for deodorizing a konjac tuber extract or konjac tuber powder containing glucosylceramide.

With steam treatment including bringing steam into contact with a konjac tuber extract or konjac tuber powder containing glucosylceramide under a temperature condition of 100° C. or lower, a unique odor can be eliminated.

A method of moisturizing skin of a person is disclosed. The method can include topically applying to the skin of the person a composition comprising an effective amount of an aqueous, alcoholic, or aqueous-alcoholic extract from Parkia biglobosa, wherein the composition moisturizes the skin.

A method of treating skin is disclosed. The method can include topically applying to a peron's skin a composition comprising 0.0001% to 5% w/w of a hydrolyzed algae extract comprising exopolysaccharides from Halymenia durvillei, and 0.0001% to 5% w/w of a saccharide isomerate comprising an exopolysaccharide synthesized by Vibrio alginolyticus, wherein at least one of skin permeability is decreased, filaggrin production is increased, skin moisture is increased, occludin production is increased, or TNFα production is inhibited in the skin.

The present disclosure provides solid molded formulations comprising an emulsion gel comprising a gel matrix, water and lipophilic droplets comprising one or more emulsifiers and lipophilic material, the lipophilic droplets being dispersed within the gel matrix, wherein the gel matrix is formed of at least one gel forming material that is water insoluble at a temperature below 40° C.; the at least one gel forming material is present at a concentration higher than 1% by weight out of the total weight of the solid molded composition; the lipophilic material is present at a concentration of at least 5% by weight out of the total weight of the solid molded composition; at least 80% of the emulsifiers are solid at room temperature; and the said at least one gel forming material, one or more emulsifiers, lipophilic material and water provide together said solid molded composition with a discrete shape that is deformable upon shearing against a surface. Also disclosed are methods of producing the formulations.

The present disclosure relates to stable cosmetic compositions that include high levels of free glycolic acid. The cosmetic compositions typically include: glycolic acid and/or a salt thereof; at least one non-silicone fatty compound; at least one emulsifier; at least one water-soluble solvent; at least one silicone; and water. The cosmetic compositions are in the form of an emulsion, in particular, a water-in-oil emulsion, and typically have a low pH of below 7. Also, the cosmetic compositions have high amount of free glycolic acid, for example, at least 6 wt. % of free glycolic acid, based on the total weight of the cosmetic composition. The cosmetic compositions are particularly useful for improving the appearance of skin. Accordingly, the instant disclosure relates to methods of treating skin, for example, improving the appearance of skin using the cosmetic compositions.

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 inventive subject is directed towards ready-to-use topical cosmetic formulations that include at least one defensin present in sub-antimicrobially effective concentrations. Surprisingly, even at such low concentrations, defensins recruit LGR6+ stem cells from hair follicles to the interfollicular space. Including defensins in the inventive topical cosmetic formulations may reduce one or more of wrinkle depth, wrinkle length, wrinkle width, pore size, irregularity in texture of a skin surface, oiliness, brown spots, and red spots in non-injured skin, thus reducing apparent age.
