Abstract: A composition comprising at least one ?-cyanodiphenylacrylate and inactivated bacterial lysates of Bifido bacterium.

Abstract: A topical composition comprising at least one ?-cyanodiphenylacrylate and dimethicone silylate.

Abstract: A topical composition of improved spreadability and aesthetical appeal is provided, which contains inorganic particulates in combination with an alkoxylated diphenylacrylate compound. Preferably, the topical composition is a sunscreen composition that contains inorganic or physical sunscreen agents in combination with an alkoxylated ?-cyanodiphenylacrylate compound, which is characterized by improved photo-protection of the skin and is effective in preventing/reducing photo-damage of the skin upon exposure to sunlight or other sources of light in the ultraviolet (UV), visible, and infrared (IR) ranges.

Abstract: A topical composition of improved spreadability and aesthetical appeal is provided, which contains a stable emulsion base formed by combining an alkoxylated diphenylacrylate compound and a nonionic organic emulsifier with a pharmaceutically or cosmetically acceptable carrier. Preferably, the topical composition is a sunscreen composition that further contains inorganic or physical sunscreen agents dispersed in such a stable emulsion base, which is characterized by improved photo-protection of the skin and is effective in preventing/reducing photo-damage of the skin upon exposure to sunlight or other sources of light in the ultraviolet (UV), visible, and infrared (IR) ranges.

Abstract: A composition comprising at least one ?-cyanodiphenylacrylate and at least one organosiloxane-based film forming polymer.

Abstract: A topical composition containing an alkoxylated diphenylacrylate compound and an aryl carboxylic ester is provided. Preferably, the topical composition is a sunscreen composition containing ?-ethylhexyl ?-cyano-?-(4-methoxyphenyl)-?-phenylacrylate and 2-phenylethyl benzoate, and optionally further containing 4,4?-t-butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, which is characterized by improved photo-protection of the skin and is effective in preventing/reducing photo-damage of the skin upon exposure to sunlight or other sources of light in the ultraviolet (UV), visible, and infrared (IR) ranges.

Abstract: The present invention relates to enhanced structured water containing mineral ions that are released by water-insoluble minerals and integrated into water clusters in the structured water. Specifically, the present invention provides compositions containing structured water selected from the group consisting of I water, S water, and a combination thereof. The structured water includes at least one charged cluster of water molecules having at least one mineral ion bound therewith to form a cluster complex. The mineral ions in the cluster complex exhibit enhanced biological activities, in comparison with mineral ions in un-structured waters. Further, by incorporating at least one bridging agent, and at least one capping agent into the cluster complex, the compositions of the present invention exhibit bright and intense colors with surprising and unexpected color stability.

Abstract: The invention relates to a topical composition for application to skin comprising a cosmetically or pharmaceutically acceptable encapsulated liquid UV-absorbing naphthopyran or naphthoxazine dye, or a combination thereof, in combination with a cosmetically or pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

Abstract: The invention relates to fluid-to-powder cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions for topical application to skin, the composition comprising at least one polyflurorinated solvent gelled with a fumed silica.

Abstract: The invention relates to structured water and the ability to achieve antimicrobial activity when the structured water has two antimicrobial agents in its cluster structure. One of the two antimicrobial agents can be stabilizing agent for the other antimicrobial agent. Thus, the antimicrobial structured water contains a combination of positively charged ions having antimicrobial activity and a stabilizing agent present within its cluster structure. In particular, the present invention relates to potassium sorbate and ionic silver incorporated within the cluster structure of either electropositive (S water) or electronegative (I water). The structured water, having the stabilizing agent and the positively charged ions incorporated within the cluster structure of structured water acts as a preservative when used in cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions. The structured water of the present invention also has a stabilizing effect on the antimicrobial activity of the ionic silver.

Abstract: The invention relates to composition having enhanced biological activity, the compositions comprising at least one structured water. In particular, the compositions contain a combination of I and S waters and a biologically active agent, in which the activity of the agent is increased relative to its activity in a non-structured water composition.
