Abstract: The present invention provides a bleach activator which is at least one macrocyclic manganese complex selected from the group consisting of [MnIII(rac-14-decane)X2]Y, [MnIII(mes-14-decane)X2]Y.H2O and [MnIII(mes-14-decane)X2]Y represented by Formulas 1-3, as well as a preparation method thereof. Also, the invention provides a bleaching composition and bleaching detergent composition comprising the bleach activator. The bleach activator comprising the manganese complex is used in a granulated form. wherein X is at least one selected from chlorine (—Cl) and acetate (—OOCCH3), and Y is an anion selected from Cl?, Br?, F?, NO3?, ClO4?, OH?, NCS?, N3?, and PF6?.

Abstract: An amine oxide type surfactant, which has excellent compatibility with an anionic or non-ionic surfactant having excellent detergency and shows excellent detergency and softening effect, is represented by the following formula 1: wherein R1 and R2 are the same or different, and each independently represents a C8˜C22 linear or branched alkyl or alkenyl group; A represents a C1˜C4 alkyl, alkenyl or hydroxyalkyl group; X represents OH, a C1˜C4 alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, (CH2CH2O)nH, (CHCH3CH2O)nH or a combination of (CH2CH2O)nH and (CHCH3CH2O)nH; and n is a number of 1˜30.

Abstract: The present invention relates to pseudoceramide derivatives represented by formula(I) or (II): R1—COCHR2CONR3R4  (I) R1—CH(OH)CHR2CONR3R4  (II) wherein, each of R1 and R2 represents linear or branched alkyl group or alkenyl group having 6˜22 carbon atoms; each of R3 and R4 represents hydrogen, methyl, ethyl, propyl, or linear or branched C2˜C6 alkyl group having one or more hydroxyl group(s), or monosaccharide, a process for preparing the same, and dermatologic external preparations containing the same. When the pseudoceramide derivatives according to the present invention are applied in an dermatologic external preparations the moisture-retaining property and resilience of skin and hair is enhanced such so that the derivatives are useful in protection of skin-aging. In addition, the derivatives are useful for inducing the formation of lipid layer on damaged skin and for preventing the inhibition of lipid synthesis.

Abstract: A herb medicine extract-containing non-bleeding striped dentifrice composition, consisting essentially of a striped dentifrice component and a base dentifrice component, each component comprising the following ingredients at the substantially same amount: a. an abrasive that has a BET surface area of 10 m.sup.2 /g or less and an average particle diameter of 1 to 30 .mu.m upon measurement by Coulter Counter method, and shows oil absorption (linseed oil, ml/100 g) of 50 or less; b. a binder selected from the group consisting of xanthan gum, carrageenan, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and the mixtures thereof; c. an alkyl sulfonate of anionic surfactants; and d. a humectant, and said striped dentifrice component containing herb medicine extracts at an amount of 0.001 to 10% by weight, on the basis of dry solid substance. It is non-bleeding by virtue of the substantially same formulation in the two components and the herb medicine extracts allow the dentifrice composition to suppress the formation of plaque.
