  • Method of Enhancing Biological Activity of Plant Extracts
    Publication number: 20110223262
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of modulating a selected biological activity of a naturally occurring material having one or more biological activities in an extract of the naturally occurring material, the method comprising incubating the extract in a medium in the presence of an aerobically metabolizing microorganism, under suitable aerobic conditions, for a period of time sufficient to modulate the selected activity with respect to baseline activity of the unincubated extract. The invention also relates to the bioconverted material so prepared, and the use of same in cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions.

  • Compositions With Perfluorinated Ingredients
    Publication number: 20110044919
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a cosmetic composition comprising at least one perfluorinated component and at least one aromatic component, wherein the aromatic component is present in an amount sufficient to compatibilize the fluorinated component in the cosmetic composition; transfer resistant, long wearing or other types of cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions containing the components and a method for compatibilizing a fluorinated component in a cosmetic composition using an aromatic component, and cosmetic compositions containing at least one perfluorinated amide.
