Abstract: An inedible and dry dormant state encapsulated probiotic core-shell particle for external, non-mucosal skin application is provided. From inside out, the core-shell particle has a structure of a carrier particle core serving as a nutrient source for probiotics, a first layer including a dormant probiotic species for affecting epidermal biome and at least one prebiotic as a food source for the probiotic, a polymer layer positioned over the first layer, and a dissolvable protective layer for protecting the probiotic core-shell particle from oxidation, heat and humidity. By co-applying with a releasing medium, the dissolvable protective layer and the polymer layer are dissolved to expose the dormant probiotic containing layer, the first layer. Further, the releasing medium also is able to activate and reconstitute the dormant probiotic to a live probiotic on the applied non-mucosal epidermal surface.

Abstract: The present invention provides an antibacterial and antiviral fabric includes a fabric substrate and an antimicrobial coating. The antimicrobial coating formed on the fabric substrate having an antimicrobial agent embedded or surface-adherent in a three dimensional porous network of nano-binder particles. The three dimensional porous network is formed by connecting the nano-binder particles to each other via van der Waals force or coulombic force. The antibacterial and antiviral fabric has an antimicrobial effect of at least 99% while maintaining physical properties comparable to an uncoated fabric. The present invention also provides an antibacterial and antiviral formulation and a method of preparing antibacterial and antiviral nanoparticles.

Abstract: A film forming composition comprises a film forming component and a solvent, wherein the film forming component comprises 0-50 wt % of a first water soluble polymer, 0.3-40 wt % of a second water soluble polymer, 0-15 wt % of plasticizer and 50-70 wt % of active ingredient. The first and second water soluble polymers have a Tg of ?52° C. to 216° C., and difference of Tg values of the first and second water soluble polymer is 62-268° C. The film formed by the film forming composition capable to load high content of active ingredient and lead to fast absorption of active ingredient is provided.
