Abstract: A skin care composition includes a gel stabilized emulsion comprising a combination of actives that include azelaic acid, at least one hydroquinone derivative, and niacinamide, at least one anionic polymer thickener, and at least one fatty compound. The provides a hydrating formula that is comfortable for the wearer and is oil free, without appearing shiny or greasy on the skin, and includes actives to treat the appearance of dark spots and inflammatory lesions, including acne, for all skin types. The skin care composition is free or essentially free of monoalcohols, silicones, silicone oils, and oils other than fatty compounds that comprise emollient esters, hydrogenated polyisobutene, and squalane.

Abstract: Cosmetic compositions comprising high amount of Silybum Marianum Extract, relatively high amounts of skin active ingredients chosen from salicylic acid, ascorbic acid, a cinnamic acid derivative, or a mixture thereof; c) one or more surfactants; d) from about 3 to about 15 wt. % of Propylene Glycol; e) from about 5 to about 18 wt. % of Dipropylene Glycol; and f) water; and wherein the composition has a pH not higher than about 5.

Abstract: A method of 3D printing an object includes receiving design information corresponding to an object for which a printed object is to be generated by a 3D printing operation according to a first set of print instructions, generating a plurality of measurement locations, printing successive layers which form the object, measuring the object at the measurement locations to form measurement data, comparing the measurement data with expected measurements of the measurement locations based on the design information, and generating, based on the comparing, deviation information. The measurement locations represent locations of the object to be measured by a measurement device. The deviation information represents deviations between the printed object following completion of the printing, and the object represented by the design information.

Abstract: A system forms a cosmetic composition. The system includes a dispensing arrangement in selective fluid communication with a plurality of dispensing dosing receptacles mounted on a movable carousel. The dispensing arrangement is configured to selectively dispense a plurality of the booster compositions together with a base composition corresponding to a formulation corresponding to a compatibility profile and consumer skin conditions to form a stable composition having efficacious concentrations of active ingredients into a receiving receptacle.

Abstract: A skin care formulation includes azelaic acid. The skin care formulation also includes a first booster composition including at least one first active booster ingredient. The skin care formulation further includes a second booster composition including at least one second active booster ingredient. The skin care formulation is a water-based emulsion that is stable for at least 3 months. A method of forming a skin care formulation includes combining an anti-acne booster composition, a first booster composition, a second booster composition, and an aqueous base composition to form the skin care formulation. The anti-acne booster composition includes azelaic acid.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to stable cosmetic compositions for delivering high amounts of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and ceramides to the skin, products containing such cosmetic compositions, and methods for treating skin using the cosmetic compositions. The cosmetic compositions include ascorbic acid, one or more ceramides, panthenol, one or more monoalcohols having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms, one or more polyols, one or more fatty compounds, one or more emulsifiers, one or more cationic surfactants, and water. The cosmetic compositions are particularly useful for treating the effects of skin aging, for example, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and improving skin tone.

Abstract: Skin-tightening compositions and methods for using the same, which provide a long-lasting skin-tightening effect and a mattifying finishing effect are described. The skin-tightening composition may be in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion and comprise one or more polyvalent silicates; one or more cellulose thickeners; one or more clays selected from hectorite and organically modified hectorites; one or more polysaccharide film forming agents; one or more polyols; one or more acrylate polymers; and water. The skin-tightening compositions are useful for improving the appearance of skin, especially skin of the neck and face.
