Abstract: Hair treatment composition comprising an azole fungicide and zinc gluconate and wherein the composition does not comprise Trichogen®.

Abstract: The invention provides a hand held hair treatment device for the stimulation of hair growth on the scalp, which device comprises: a housing which includes a handle portion and a head portion; a plurality of hollow tines, each tine having a proximal end affixed to the head portion, a longitudinal length extending from the head portion and a distal end terminating in a tip section; a light source disposed within the housing and configured to output light; light guide means for channelling the light from the light source through the tines and along a light guide means axis; and optical devices which are located at the distal ends of the tines; characterised in that the optical devices are configured to vector light which is incident upon them transversely to the general light guide means axis.

Abstract: A hair treatment composition comprising a trichogenic material and an anti-dandruff agent.

Abstract: A personal care composition comprising a eutectic mixture, the eutectic mixture comprising a tertiary system, in which menthol may form part of the eutectic mixture or in the eutectic mixture comprises an antidandruff agent such as ketoconazole.

Abstract: A personal care composition comprising a eutectic mixture, the eutectic mixture comprising a CB receptor activating agent, in which the CB receptor is preferably palmitoylethanolamide. A method of mitigating scalp itch.

Abstract: An apocrine cell line is obtained by the steps of isolating an apocrine cell from primary tissue, culturing the isolated cell in a first culture medium, removing unattached cells from the first culture medium and transferring said unattached cells to a second culture medium comprising an effective concentration of a phorbol ester, and thereby establishing an apocrine cell line exhibiting long-term proliferation capability, which after many cultures is indicative of indefinite proliferation.

Abstract: A new method for the inhibition of human sweating and body malodour is described. An agent capable of blocking calcium channels in the secretory coil cells of human sweat glands is topically applied; on reaching the secretory coil cells, the action of this agent results in reduced sweat production. Preferred agents are natural plant extracts. The transport of the agent to the secretory coil is preferably enhanced in some way, for example by iontophoresis or the use of a skin penetration enhancer. Antiperspirant products comprising a calcium channel blocking agent and a pore-blocking antiperspirant active are also claimed.

Abstract: A cosmetic method of reducing the acidity of sweat excreted from human eccrine glands, said method comprising the topical application of a V-ATPase inhibitor to the skin in the vicinity of the eccrine glands. Said method may result in a range of benefits, including enhanced appreciation of topically-applied perfume and enhanced efficacy of topically-applied antiperspirant salt. Cosmetic products and compositions comprising a V-ATPase inhibitor and selected other components are also claimed.
