Of cosmetic agents

Larch arabinogalactan is approved in 21 CFR 172.610 as a food additive for use as an emulsifier, stabilizer, binder or bodying agent for essential oils and noimutritive sweeteners, flavor bases, nonstandardized dressings, and pudding mixes. It has also been used in the preparation of cosmetic and pharmaceutical dispersions and as an emulsifier in oil—water emulsions (69). Industrially, the main use has been in Hthography as a gum arabic substitute. 

Standard Mosquito Repellents. Since its initial report as a promising repellent in 1954, DEET has been considered the best all-around repellent having generally acceptable characteristics, despite a continuing search for a superior chemical. Improvements include many commercial products with added cosmetic agents that use slow release technology, such as the U.S. Armed Services slow release 35% DEET formulation (16). There were 35 EPA-registered repellent products in 1994 that contained only DEET under different trade names (2). DEET is present in 192 of the 212 products mentioned previously (2). 

Although the EEC is stiU in the process of completing cosmetic regulation, the final directive is expected to require member states to ban marketing of cosmetics that contain prohibited ingredients, an amount of a substance in excess of that proscribed, coloring agents, preservatives, or uv filters not specifically allowed. 

The addition of therapeutic or cosmetic agents to dentifrices has paralleled advances in knowledge about factors affecting the human dentition. Agents added to dentifrices can act directly on the host tooth stmcture or on specific oral accumulations, for example, the principal action of fluoride is on the tooth enamel. The primary action of an abrasive, however, is on an accumulated stained pellicle. Oral accumulations of interest to preventive dentistry are dental pellicles, dental plaque, dental calculus (tartar), microbial populations responsible for oral malodor, and oral debris (food residues, leukocytes, etc). Plaque is most important because of its potential to do harm. 

The concentrate derived from ultrafiltration is usually a thick colourless gel containing about 4-8% solids. This must contain an antimicrobial agent to inhibit microbial growth and biological degradation. The type of antimicrobial agent used depends on the particular application for the exopolysaccharide. For example, the nature of file antimicrobial agent is less critical for industrial applications, such as enhanced oil recovery, than for use in cosmetics. 

Physical agents include zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. These are the most effective sunscreens because they reflect UVA and UVB. When applied to the skin, they induce a white or ashen color, which many patients find cosmetically unacceptable. New micronized formulations of these agents are available which enhance cosmetic acceptability. Sunscreens...
