  • Preservation of Ergothioneine
    Publication number: 20150073027
    Abstract: Compositions comprising ergothioneine and a trimethylamine absorber are provided. Also provided are methods for preventing, reducing or minimizing the fishy, amine odor, due to trimethylamine, that is associated with the processing and/or storage of a preparation containing ergothioneine, by combining with the ergothioneine, during processing or prior to storage, a trimethylamine absorber in an amount sufficient to prevent the detection of any trimethylamine odor by the human nose. A method is further provided for ameliorating the methylamine odor associated with an aqueous ergothioneine-containing preparation after it has developed a fishy trimethylamine odor.

  • Heating applicator system for products that may be degraded by heat
    Patent number: 8950962
    Abstract: A system for sampling a heated product comprising a disposable first subassembly having an applicator head, and a physically separate reusable second subassembly having an electric heating circuit. Prior to use, the two subassemblies are able to form a rigid connection. As a result of forming this connection, the applicator head is transferred to the second subassembly such that a portion of the electric heating circuit is inserted into an interior space of the applicator head. In this configuration, the second subassembly is used to apply heated product.

  • Compositions comprising solid particles encapsulated in a cross-linked silicone matrix, and methods of making the same
    Patent number: 8932639
    Abstract: The present invention relates to topical compositions containing solid particles that are stabilized via encapsulation into a cross-linked silicone matrix. The stabilized particles possess an electrical potential sufficient to prevent the particles from penetrating into the skin. The particles can readily be used either alone or in combination with other skin care actives to form topical compositions with improved stability and performance.

  • Compositions comprising solid particles encapsulated in a cross-linked silicone matrix, and methods of making the same
    Patent number: 8932564
    Abstract: The present invention relates to topical compositions containing solid particles that are stabilized via encapsulation into a cross-linked silicone matrix. The solid particles are preferably formed of a metal oxide, such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, and the cross-linked silicone matrix is preferably formed by cross-linking a silicone having branched reactive alkoxyl moieties in the presence of a stannous carboxylate cross-linking agent. The stabilized particles of the present invention can readily be used either alone or in combination with other skin care actives to form topical compositions with improved stability and performance.

  • Concave-convex roller assembly
    Patent number: 8844543
    Abstract: A dual-ended applicator is provided. The applicator includes a handle, a first roller having a broad concave surface at one end of the handle, and a second, ball-like roller having a convex surface, at the opposite end of the handle. The first roller, having a greater axial length and surface area than does the second roller is intended for applying a cosmetic to broader convex areas of the skin. The second roller, having a lesser axial dimension and surface area as compared with the first roller is intended for distributing a cosmetic to the narrower, concave areas of the skin. The first roller is mounted on the applicator so as to rotate about a fixed axis lateral to the longitudinal axis of the applicator, and will move in straight paths along the skin, in line with the longitudinal axis of the applicator.
