Abstract: Compositions and methods for inducing hair growth and improving hair quality utilizing extracts of blackberry in an amount effective to induce hair growth when applied topically to an area of the skin on which hair growth is desired.

Abstract: Gel-wipes suitable for use in personal care and household cleansing applications are disclosed, which include a substrate having a first surface, a second surface opposing the first surface and a body disposed between and defined by the first and second surfaces, fibers having an outer surface and an inner core, a polymeric gel distributed throughout the substrate such that a substantial portion of the fibers contain the polymeric gel distributed throughout the inner core of the fibers; and a liquid cleansing composition, wherein the inner core of a substantial portion of the fibers and the polymeric gel are substantially free of the liquid cleansing composition; as well as methods of making the gel-wipe.

Abstract: A particulate metal oxide includes a cationic portion that includes a zinc portion, a first iron dopant portion and a second dopant portion consisting of manganese and copper, where the zinc portion is about 99% by weight or more of the cationic portion, and the weight percent of the second dopant portion is greater than twice the weight percent of the first iron dopant portion.

Abstract: A particulate metal oxide is provided that includes a cationic portion containing a zinc portion, a first manganese dopant portion and a second dopant portion selected from the group consisting of iron and aluminum, wherein the zinc portion is about 99% by weight or more of the cationic portion and the manganese dopant portion and second dopant portion are present in a weight ratio of from about 5:1 to 1:5.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods and compositions for degrading collagen in mammalian skin, thereby improving the appearance and/or reducing the size of a closed wound, which may be a scar or a keloid and cellulite or other conditions wherein excessive collagen is a problem.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for treating and/or preventing conditions such as diaper rash and atopic dermatitis are disclosed. The compositions and methods are particularly useful in the treatment and prevention of diaper rash and diaper dermatitis caused by the prolonged contact of human skin with body waste. The methods employ the topical application of a trypsin-inhibiting agent to the area in need of such treatment, or the area where prevention is desired. The trypsin-inhibiting agent is preferably a divalent cation.
