Abstract: There is provided an infant feeding bottle system having an agitator for mixing a powder substance with a liquid in a non-rigid disposable liner. The bottle system permits a user to mix powdered formula directly inside a non-rigid liner. The bottle system enhances the mixing effect, resulting in improved solubility, and provides for a self-contained uninterrupted mixing and feeding process.
Abstract: An in vitro method for the prediction of in vivo UVA protection by a composition with sunscreen properties. The method includes the steps of: determining in vivo SPF; determining in vitro SPF based on the sunscreen's absorbance spectrum in the UV region; normalizing the absorbence spectrum based on integration area of UVA1; and calculating the PFA-PPD in vitro.

Abstract: There is provided a composition comprising one or more photoactive compounds and one or more optimization agents. Surprisingly, the composition requires a small amount of optimization agent to efficiently optimize the polarity, critical wavelength, SPF, PFA, Star Rating, photostability, or any combinations thereof, of the composition. Subsequently, an efficient sunscreen composition is achieved.
