Antiperspirant formulations containing an antiperspirant active and a continuous phase comprising a water-immiscible liquid carrier, such as, amongst other materials, cyclomethicones, that is structured using an amido-containing compound of the general formulain which R and R1 each independently denote a branched or unbranched moiety containing 5 to 27 carbon atoms, m and n are each independently, zero or 1, Y is a cyclohexane ring bearing the amido-containing substituent groupsin 1,2 or 1,3 positions.

Antimicrobial compositions that provide enhanced immediate and residual anti-viral and antibacterial efficacy against rhinovirus, rotavirus, coronovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria and combinations thereof. More specifically, antimicrobial compositions comprising an organic acid or organic acid mixture and a short-chain anionic surfactant having at least one of a large head group; a branched alkyl chain and an unsaturated alkyl chain. Further, products incorporating the antimicrobial compositions of the present invention and methods of using the antimicrobial compositions and products are disclosed herein.

The invention discloses a skin wound closure device capable of promoting skin wound healing and characterized by being capable of randomly adjusting stitching force for a wound. The skin wound closure device includes a support structure respectively arranged at both sides of a skin wound, at least one locking device is arranged above the support structure, the locking device includes a locking bar and a locking buckle arranged on the support structure, the locking bar is movably connected within the locking buckle, and a locking member is arranged on the locking buckle and can lock or loosely fit the locking bar in the locking buckle. Arrangement of the locking member allows doctors to loosely fit the locking bar in the locking buckle by controlling the locking member, randomly move the support structure and the locking device towards the direction close to the skin wound or the direction away from the skin wound, and lock the locking bar in the locking buckle by the locking member after proper movement, thus achieving the purpose of randomly adjusting the stitching force for the skin wound. The skin wound closure device is suitable for widespread application to healing treatment of skin wounds.

A composition comprising mineral water and a chelating agent present in an amount sufficient to maintain all of the minerals in the water in solution. The mineral water is preferably obtained from Mount Clemens, Mich., US, and is preferably chelated with an ammonium and / or a sodium salt of an acid selected from the group consisting of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, nitrilotetraacetic acid, β-alaninediacetic acid, ethylenediaminosuccinic acid, aminotrimethylenephosphoric acid, serinediaacetic acid, asparaginediacetic acid, methylgylcinediacetic acid and mixtures thereof. The resultant chelated mineral water may be combined with a cosmetically acceptable skin-conditioning agent and a cosmetically acceptable topical carrier, thereby resulting in a cosmetic composition that will confer beneficial effects on the skin, e.g., softening, hydrating and healing effects.

A method for uniformly transferring a powder cosmetic material to the face of a user includes: providing a cosmetic powder applicator having a bristle material with a concave apical surface having a shape approximating a curved surface of the face of a user; pressing the concave apical surface onto a cosmetic material surface of a cosmetic container and moving the bristle material back and forth multiple times, thereby roughly uniformly transferring the cosmetic material onto the concave apical surface; and transferring the cosmetic material from the concave apical surface to the facial skin of the user while pressing the facial skin with the concave apical surface at roughly a uniform pressure.

The present invention relates to a composition containing vitamin C. The composition according to the present invention includes cationic material and anionic material as a primary stabilizing agent of the vitamin C; and a caffeic acid derivative as a secondary stabilizing agent of the vitamin C. The caffeic acid derivative is water-soluble and, preferably, a new caffiec acid derivative as denoted by the chemical formula 1 below is used. According to the present invention, the cationic material and the anionic material generate an electrical double layer to stabilize the vitamin C primarily; water-soluble caffeic acid derivative stabilizes the vitamin C secondarily. Accordingly, the vitamin C is stabilized double so that the vitamin C is protected from being oxidized by air, heat and moisture.

A method for reducing pressure damage to skin of a person includes determining a location on the person susceptible to pressure damage, and adhesively securing a skin protective device to the location. The skin protective device includes a substrate having an inner surface, and an outer surface. An adhesive layer substantially covers the inner surface, and at least one fluid-filled cell is on the outer surface to cushion the skin of the person.

A cosmetic composition preferably an antiperspirant composition, in solid or soft-solid form has a continuous phase which contains a water-immiscible liquid carrier and also contains a structurant which is partially or fully esterified cellobiose of the formula wherein each Z is independently hydrogen or an acyl group of the formula where R denotes a hydrocarbyl group containing from 4 to 22 carbon atoms. Not more than half of the Z groups are hydrogen.

The present invention provides a low-toxicity sophorolipid-containing composition. The low-toxicity sophorolipid-containing composition contains at least a coloring component, an acidic sophorolipid, a fatty acid, and a hydroxy fatty acid that are derived from an SL-producing yeast culture. The composition contains the following components in the following proportions, in terms of dry weight, based on the total amount of the acidic sophorolipid, a lactonic sophorolipid, the fatty acid, and the hydroxy fatty acid in the composition taken as 100 mass %:(1) acidic sophorolipid: 94 to 99.99 mass %,(2) lactonic sophorolipid: 0 to 2 mass %,(3) total amount of fatty acid and hydroxy fatty acid: 0.01 to 4 mass %.

The invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising at least one extract from the orchid Dendrobium chrysotoxum as an active agent and at least one cosmetically acceptable excipient.The invention relates to the use in a cosmetic composition of an extract from the orchid Dendrobium chrysotoxum as an active agent for preventing or delaying the appearance of the signs of skin ageing or for slowing or attenuating the effects thereof, or else also for promoting cell or tissue longevity.The invention in particular relates to an orchid extract inhibiting the expression and / or the activity of the mitochondrial protein Smac / DIABLO.
