Abstract: A composition suitable for providing protection against ultraviolet radiation containing one or more active ultraviolet radiation absorber through which ultraviolet radiation in approximately the 295 to 315 nanometer range is permitted to enter the skin in an amount sufficient for the body to produce a healthful and disease-opposing quantity of vitamin D3 and chemical precursors thereof. The composition is particularly used in sunscreens promoting on the one hand vitamin D3 production, on the other hand protecting the skin against harmful ultraviolet radiation.
Abstract: This invention relates, e.g., to a synthetic compound, Oxy133, having the structure [Formula I] or a bioactive or pharmaceutical composition comprising Oxy133 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

Abstract: This invention is a natural scalp lotion that exploits the benefits of Dead Sea salt by adding it to a base of organic aloe vera juice, organic coconut oil, castor oil, sweet almond oil, olive oil, NF emulsified wax (vegetable based), potato starch, and apple cider vinegar. It also includes several 100% pure essential oils/extracts, and preservatives.
Abstract: Body tissue and structures in an airway may be treated with an artificial scab comprising an inhomogeneous, uncohesive, solid sheet-like body comprising a granular mixture of chitosan and polysaccharide particles. The artificial scab breaks apart into smaller pieces if peeled away from the surgical site or wound, thus reducing the risk of airway occlusion.

Abstract: A delivery vehicle for bioactive agents and live probiotic microbes to aquatic animals protects the bioactive compounds and microbes from digestion and destruction in the animal stomach. It provides for controlled release of bioactive agents and live probiotic microbes to aquatic animals in the form of dry or wet beadlets with essential nutrients and attractants bound with soluble starch and cross-linked alginate. The bioactive agents and live probiotic microbes can be bound with emulsified high-amylose starch and embedded in the beadlets in the form of microparticles.
Abstract: A control release and abuse-resistant opiate drug delivery oral wafer or edible oral film dosage to treat pain and substance abuse is provided. The drug delivery oral wafer or edible oral film dosage includes a controlled release layer containing enteric-release beads dispersed in a polymer matrix. The enteric-release beads are formed from a therapeutic amount of an opioid agonist and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a sub-therapeutic amount of opioid antagonist and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof coated or encapsulated in an enteric-release polymer. The controlled release polymer matrix dissolves or disintegrates following administration or consumption of the oral wafer or edible oral film, releasing the enteric-release beads to be swallowed, with subsequent absorption of the active ingredients within the patient's intestines.
Abstract: Provided is a method for preparing a nanoemulsion, including mixing an oil phase part (A) containing a ceramide or derivative thereof, cholesterol, non-ionic surfactant, phospholipid and a polyol, a perfume part (B) containing a perfume ingredient, non-ionic surfactant and an alcohol, and an aqueous phase part (C) containing the other water-soluble active ingredients. When a nanoemulsion is obtained by the method, it is possible to reduce processing time and cost since a non-ionic surfactant is used without a high-pressure emulsification process, and the obtained nanoemulsion is more stable against a change in temperature than the other solubilized formulations.
