Abstract: The present invention provides a sunless tanning substrate having one or more sunless tanning enhancers, which adjust the rate of color development and/or adjust or customize the color developed on the skin. The present invention further provides a method of sunless tanning comprising the step of using the sunless tanning substrate of the present invention either prior to application, simultaneously with application, after application, or any combinations thereof, of one or more sunless tanning actives or agents to the skin. The present invention also provides a sunless tanning kit that includes one or more of the sunless tanning substrates.

Abstract: A sunblock or sunscreen composition with enhanced photostability and a method for preparing and using the novel photostabilizer are provided. The combination of avobenzene, dimethyl capramide, and polyester-8, a copolymer of adipic acid and neopentyl glycol that is terminated with cyanodiphenyl propenoic acid, provides an extra layer of protection to keep the sunscreen working longer to protect the skin from damaging ultraviolet rays, namely, UVA and UVB. Sunblock products with SPF-15 for moderate sun protection. SPF-30 for higher sun protection and SPF-50, specially formulated for fair skin provides high sun protection. The sunblock compositions with the novel photostabilizer have a clean, dry formula that glides on easily for quick absorption, while enlisting sea plant extracts and anti-oxidant vitamins A, C, and E that aid in the reduction of cell damaging free radicals for younger looking skin.

Abstract: The instant invention relates to a process for the preparation of an aqueous suspension of anionic colloidal silica having a neutral pH which is stable over time and comprises individualized particles of colloidal silica which are not bound to one another by siloxane bonds. The instant suspensions show high storage stability and are particularly useful for the clarification of beer, for the preparation of cosmetic formulations, for the production of ink for printers, for paints and for anticorrosive treatments.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of specific amphiphilic alkoxyates as synergistic adjuvant for agrotechnical applications. Suitable agrotechnical compositions are also described. Thus, the addition of such alkoxylates makes possible an accelerated uptake of active ingredients by the plant. The alkoxylates to be used are alkoxylates based on branched alcohols such as 2-propylheptanol, C13-oxo alcohols and C10-oxo alcohols.

Abstract: The present invention provides for the preparation of stable surfactant-free dispersions of hydrophobic substances in low viscosity hydrophilic glyceryl polyacrylate or glyceryl polymethacrylate fluids, and topical vehicles formulated with the dispersions.

Abstract: The present invention is drawn to a carrier composition containing: (a) at least one fatty quaternary amine compound; (b) at least one nonionic surfactant; (c) at least one anionic silicone; and (d) at least one water-insoluble material, and wherein the composition, when combined with an aqueous phase, forms an aqueous delivery system which is both stable, and clear to slightly hazy/limpid in appearance.

Abstract: The present invention is drawn to a carrier composition containing: (a) at least one fatty monoamine compound; (b) at least one nonionic surfactant; (c) at least one anionic silicone; and (d) at least one water-insoluble material, and wherein the composition, when combined with an aqueous phase, forms an aqueous delivery system which is both stable, and clear to slightly hazy/limpid in appearance.

Abstract: The present invention is drawn to a carrier composition containing: (a) at least one polyamine compound comprising at least two amino groups; (b) at least one nonionic surfactant; (c) at least one anionic silicone; and (d) at least one water-insoluble material, and wherein the composition, when combined with an aqueous phase, forms an aqueous delivery system which is both stable, and clear to slightly hazy/limpid in appearance.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions comprising an aptamer and an amino acid ester or amide or an aptamer; a divalent metal cation; and a carboxylic acid, a phospholipid, a phosphatidyl choline, or a sphingomyelin. Methods of treating or preventing a condition in an animal comprising administering to the animal the pharmaceutical compositions.

Abstract: Compositions and methods of using the compositions to achieve a therapeutic effect are provided.

Abstract: Compositions containing a photoactivable agent and an agent that absorbs or blocks extraneous radiation during phototherapy are useful and used in methods to treat leukocyte mediated autoimmune diseases such as psoriasis, CTCL, and vertiligo.
