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.

Abstract: Systems and methods for manufacturing eyelash prostheses are described.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition and a method of preparing the cosmetic composition are provided. The method includes mixing at least one sulfate-free surfactant, at least one thickener, at least one hydrophilic emollient to form a mixture; and adding solvent to the mixture. The cosmetic composition is a clear, flowable semi-solid, and converts to a non-flowable semi-solid upon rubbing.

Abstract: Described herein are anhydrous compositions including at least one oil phase and at least one non-ionic surfactant. The oil phase includes one or more linear (i.e., unbranched) fatty esters, such as cetyl palmitate. The oil phase can further include at least one branched fatty esters, such as ethylhexyl palmitate and/or isocetyl stearate.

Abstract: A keratinous treatment kit is configured to apply a semi-solid or solid, non-Newtonian cosmetic composition onto a surface of keratinous tissue, wherein the cosmetic kit is packaged in a unitary package. The keratinous treatment kit includes a hybrid applicator, a hand piece, and a semi-solid or solid non-Newtonian cosmetic composition. The hybrid applicator includes a base and cleaning elements, the cleaning elements including a bristled brush and a elastomer contact surface. The handpiece includes a body and a motor, the body configured to receive the hybrid applicator, and the motor arranged and disposed to provide oscillating motion to the hybrid applicator, when attached, relative to the body. The semi-solid or solid, non-Newtonian cosmetic composition is transformable to a spreadable consistency when subjected to oscillating contact with the hybrid applicator. Also provided is a cosmetic application method of utilizing the cosmetic kit.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an integrated under-eye mask and makeup capture device. The device captures makeup fallout generated during application of makeup to the area around the eyes, and thereby prevents it from contaminating the area directly beneath the eye. The device simultaneously acts as an under-eye mask that delivers a dermatological composition comprising one or more skin active ingredients to the skin. The device comprises a deformable sheet-like substrate having a dry top surface for capturing makeup fallout, a moist bottom surface for application to the skin, and an upper edge that fits under an eye of a user, wherein the bottom moist surface is impregnated with a dermatological composition comprising one or more skin-active ingredients.
