Abstract: The present application pertains to a sunscreen comprising an emulsion such as a water in oil emulsion. The emulsion comprises: an oil phase comprising from about 15 to about 25% zinc oxide, polyhydroxystearic acid, and a mixture comprising one or more esters; and an aqueous phase comprising water, a salt, glycerol, an aloe compound, and Curcuma longa root. Advantageously, the sunscreens described here may surprisingly and unexpectedly exhibit an increase in sun protection factor after being immersed in water. The sunscreens are also environmentally-friendly, lightweight, non-comedogenic, and non-greasy.

Abstract: A bath salt contains granular magnesium chloride material that is uniformly coated with a fragrance enhancing material and/or a colorant. The bath salt can include magnesium sulfate material and mineral salt material. The bath salt can be made by mixing the magnesium chloride material and starch material to form an intermediate mixture. The colorant and the intermediate mixture are mixed together to form a uniformly colored bath salt.

Abstract: A process for obtaining various useful extracts from at least one herb includes the steps of extracting lypophilic ingredients through a supercritical CO2 extraction process to obtain a first extract; subjecting the residue thereof to a second supercritical CO2 and alcohol solvent process to obtain slightly polar compounds which define a second extract and, any residue after the second extraction is subjected to water extraction to obtain a still further extract. The various three extracts are mixed together in various combinations to define further extracts and which are admixed with potentiating therapeutic powders to enhance the potentiated therapeutic powders. The therapeutic powders when admixed with one or more extracts may be encapsulated in a vegetarian gelcap.
