Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and corresponding methods of their use that include jaboticaba fruit pulp and/or cashew fruit pulp or extracts thereof.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards employing a plurality of tag states to control tag suspension based on an asynchronous process that proactively monitors tag performance, response times, and latency. Tags may be in one of multiple states. Tags in a NORMAL state or a FLAGGED state may be enabled for deployment, and tags in a SUSPENSION_A state or a SUSPENSION_B state may be blocked from deployment. A tag's state may change based on monitoring the tag's latency to determine if latent events occur. Tag latency may be asynchronously monitored independent of web page requests. If latent events occur, then the tag's state may change from NORMAL to FLAGGED, from FLAGGED to SUSPENSION_A, or from SUSPENSION_B to SUSPENSION_A. If non-latent events occur, then the tag's state may change from SUSPENSION_B to FLAGGED or from FLAGGED to NORMAL, while a tag's state may change from SUSPENSION_A to SUSPENSION_B after a predetermined time period.

Abstract: Disclosed are topical skin care compositions and methods for their use that include a chemically compatible combination of palmitoyl tetrapeptide 7 and Euterpe oleracea fruit extract or Terminalia ferdinandiana fruit extract, and a dermatologically acceptable vehicle comprising water, glycerin, butylene glycol, propylene glycol, and disodium EDTA, wherein the topical skin care composition is formulated for topical application to skin.

Abstract: Disclosed is a three-phase emulsion comprising an aqueous-gel outer phase; and a water-in-oil inner phase, wherein the emulsion is stable. The aqueous-gel outer phase can include 10% to 50% by weight of the total weight of the emulsion. This phase can also include 70% to 95% by weight of water based on the total weight of the aqueous-gel outer phase, a gelling agent, and an emulsifier having a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) value of 10 to 19. The water-in-oil inner phase can include 50% to 95% by weight based on the total weight of the three-phase emulsion. This phase can also include 50% to 80% by weight of water based on the total weight of the water-in-oil inner phase, 20% to 50% by weight of oil based on the total weight of the water-in-oil inner phase, and an emulsifier.

Abstract: Disclosed is a topical skin composition and corresponding methods for its use that includes a topical skin composition comprising an extract from Burretiodendron hsienmu.

Abstract: Novel methods and compositions for treating aged and environmentally damaged skin are disclosed which provide improvements in the skin's visual appearance, function and clinical/biophysical properties by activating at least one proteolytic enzyme in the skin's stratum corneum. The disclosed treatment methods involve topical application of a novel cosmetic composition containing a combination of a cationic surfactant such as N,N,-dimethyldodecyl amine oxide (DMDAO), an anionic surfactant such as sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), or monoalkyl phosphate (MAP) and a chelating agent such as ethylene diamine tetraacetate (EDTA) to stimulate a chronic increase in the replacement rate of the skin's stratum corneum by means of corneum protease activation. This chronic, low level stimulation is effective to induce repair and replacement of the stratum corneum, epidermis, and dermis of the skin and improvements in the appearance, function, and anti-aging properties of the skin.

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and corresponding methods of their use that include a topical skin composition comprising an extract from Boehmeria platyphylla, an extract from Karelinia caspica, and an extract from Inula helianthus-aquatica.

Abstract: Disclosed is an oil-in-water emulsion comprising about 2-3% w/w of a combination of glyceryl stearate, arachidyl alcohol, PEG-100 stearate, and arachidyl glucoside.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of brightening skin or evening out the tone of skin comprising topically applying to skin in need thereof a composition comprising a chemically compatible combination of one or more surfactants and at least one chelating agent, ascorbic acid or a derivative thereof, algae extract, and kelp or sodium sulfite and sodium metabisulfite.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards collecting, aggregating and indexing unique and non-unique user data from a plurality of users. The result for a query of this indexed aggregation of user data is provided in a plurality of sub-sets of aggregated user data. Each subset of aggregated user data corresponds to a particular portion of the plurality of users. Also, each of these particular portions of the users is set at least large enough to provide general anonymity for the individual users. User data may be collected by one or more user data suppliers and provided to a user data aggregator. In some embodiments, user data may be collected as unique user data, non-unique user data, or any combination thereof.
