The present invention is directed to a method of treating skin and scalp comprising applying on the scalp or skin a composition comprising a scalp care active selected from the group consisting of 2-Pyridinol-N-oxide, a pyrithione or a polyvalent metal salt of pyrithione, one or more iron chelator having an A log P value of greater than or equal to 0.4 and mixtures therein; exposing the scalp and skin to electromagnetic radiation having wavelength from about 350 nm to about 500 nm and power from about about 0.1 mWatts/cmto about 1000 mWatts/cmand for a time period from about 2 seconds to about 5 minutes; wherein the antimicrobial treatment results in reduction of fungal growth as measured by the Fungal Growth Sensitivity Test of at least 50% compared to the dark sample.

Light augmented treatment method

The present invention is directed to a method of inhibiting aconitase activity of fungal cells in an individual, the method comprising administering an inhibitor of aconitase activity to the fungal cell in an amount effective to inhibit activity of aconitase by said fungal cells.

Inhibition of microbial growth by aconitase inhibition

Disclosed herein are novel mixtures of scattered-branched chain fatty acids and derivatives of scattered-branched chain fatty acids. Further disclosed are uses of these mixtures in cleaning compositions (e.g., dishcare, laundry, hard surface cleaners) and/or personal care compositions (e.g., skin cleansers, shampoo, hair conditioners).

Intermediates and surfactants useful in household cleaning and personal care compositions, and methods of making the same

Disclosed herein are novel mixtures of near terminal-branched compounds and derivatives thereof. Further disclosed are methods of making these mixtures, and uses of these mixtures in cleaning compositions (e.g., dishcare, laundry, hard surface cleaners,) and/or personal care compositions (e.g., skin cleansers, shampoo, hair conditioners).

Compositions comprising a near terminal-branched compound and methods of making the same

Method of cleansing hair comprising: (a) applying a composition to the hair; (b) dissolving and lathering the composition using a water-based solvent; (c) rinsing the hair with a water-based solvent; wherein during the rinsing a total of about 100 gram to about 300 gram of water-based solvent per gram of hair (dry weight) is employed; wherein the composition comprises from about 3 wt % to about 35 wt % of a mixture of at least two compounds of Formula I.

Method of cleansing hair

A personal care composition comprising: a near-terminal branched compound according to Formula I; a cosmetically acceptable aqueous carrier; wherein the near-terminal branched compound is not comprised in a gel network.

Personal care composition comprising a near-terminal branched compound

A rinse-off conditioning composition comprising: (a) near-terminal branched alcohol according to Formula I; (b) a cationic surfactant; (c) a terminal aminosilicone; wherein the near-terminal branched alcohol and the cationic surfactant are comprised in a lamellar gel matrix.

Rinse-off conditioning composition comprising a near-terminal branched alcohol

Methods and devices for repelling insects are disclosed. The methods and devices provide personal protection from insect bites and insect landings, particularly mosquito bites. The methods and devices employ insect repellents such as pyrethroids at low (parts per billion) levels. The methods and devices effectively minimize the number of mosquitoes landing on a subject properly using the devices.

Methods and personal protection devices for repelling insects

The invention relates to compositions for treating dandruff comprising compounds that are non-polymeric and/or have a weight average molecular weight of less than about 1000. These compounds, when used at a concentration of about 0.001% or less, inhibit the activity of anylipase by at least 50%. The invention also relates to the use of these compounds for inhibiting lipase activity.

Lipase inhibiting composition

Disclosed is a novel polypeptide having an amino acid sequence substantially as shown in SEQ ID NO:2, or substantially similar to the amino acid sequence encoded by the DNA insert contained in ATCC Deposit No. PTA-4086. Also disclosed is an isolated polynucleotide substantially as shown in SEQ ID NO:1, or substantially similar to a nucleotide sequence contained in a plasmid having all of the identifying characteristics of ATCC Deposit No PTA-4086, encoding the polypeptide. Further disclosed is an expression system comprising the above polynucleotide.

Fungal lipase

Protein protease inhibitors and their variants have increased stability in detergent composition. The genes encoding such variants are provided. The variants are used in cleaning compositions.

Stabilized proteinaceous protease inhibitors and variants thereof

The present invention relates to laundry detergent compositions, comprising a saccharide gum degrading enzyme, providing excellent cleaning performance, especially food stain/soil removal, dingy cleaning and whiteness benefits.

Laundry detergent compositions comprising a saccharide gum degrading enzyme

Aqueous liquid detergent compositions are described which comprise a proteolytic enzyme wherein the proteolytic activity is reversibly inhibited by a peptide protease inhibitor.
