Abstract:
A method for decreasing formation of one or more chemiexcitation-induced dark cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (dCPDs) in a cell or DNA molecule in a subject, who has been exposed to UV radiation, is provided. The method comprises administering to the subject an effective amount of a dCPD quencher within 8 hours after the exposure. The dCPD quencher is selected from the group consisting of ellagic acid, Porphyra Umbilicalis Extract (including Porphyra Umbilicalis Extract (and) Sodium Lactate (and) Lecithin), mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) and synthetic analogues thereof, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Chrysanthemum Morifolium Leaf Extract, ferulic acid, fused-ring cyanoacrylates, curcumin, epigallocatechin gallate, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract (and) Acacia Catechu Wood Extract, sorbic acid, Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract, Acacia Catechu Extract, dipicolinic acid, squalene, Lonicera Japonica (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract, beta-carotene and combinations thereof. The dCPD quencher may be administered to the subject in the absence of UV radiation.
Abstract:
The ceramide composition includes capsules dispersed in the ceramide composition, the capsules comprising a shell and a core. The shell includes a polycaprolactone, a block copolymer, and a surfactant. The core includes ceramide NP, hydroxypalmitoyl sphinganine, 2-oleamido-1,3-octadecanediol, and a hydrophobic solvent. The core has a weight ratio of the ceramide NP of (i) and the hydroxypalmitoyl sphinganine of (ii) to the 2-oleamido-1,3-octadecanediol of (iii) is from 1:2.5 to 1:5. Additionally, the ceramide composition includes hydroxyacetophenone and hydrophilic solvent.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to cosmetic compositions that provide immediate skin-tightening and long-lasting improvements to the skin for the treatment of, for example, eye bags, facial wrinkles, and other age-related skin imperfections. The compositions comprise: (a) a first film former sodium silicate; (b) at least one second film former; (c) at least one polyvalent silicate thickener; (d) at least one anionic associative polymeric thickener; (e) at least one plasticizer; and (f) optionally at least one cosmetic powder.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a cosmetic composition which comprises: (i) one or more anionic surfactants, (ii) at least 3.5% by weight of one or more fatty acids, relative to the total weight of the composition, and (iii) one or more antidandruff agents, the anionic surfactant(s)/fatty acid(s) weight ratio being from 0.5 to 3.5. The invention also relates to the use of said composition for washing and conditioning the hair.

Abstract:
The instant disclosure relates to photosensitive capsules (sometimes referred to as "smart capsules") and sunscreen compositions comprising the capsules that automatically adjust the Sun Protection Factor ("SPF") of the sunscreen composition during use to provide protection against ultraviolet ("UV") light, as needed, based on actual exposure to UV light. The photosensitive capsules comprise: (i) a polymeric photosensitive degradable shell; and (ii) one or more UV filters encapsulated by the photosensitive degradable shell, wherein the one or more UV filters is released from the photosensitive degradable shell upon exposure to UV light.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a cleansing composition comprising : (a) at least one nonionic surfactant; (b) at least one amphoteric surfactant; (c) at least one component selected from (i) a nonionic thickener or (ii) (1) a cationic agent combined with (ii) (2) an anionic surfactant, or a mixture of nonionic thickener plus cationic agent and/or anionic surfactant; and (d) water.
