Eight polymer and 9 microcapsule formulations of deet were tested on laboratory rabbits against Aedes aegypti and Anopheles albimanus. Several formulations were significantly more effective than simple (unformulated) deet at the same strength for periods up to 24 h. Best results were obtained with a polymer formulation containing a high molecular weight fatty acid and 3 microcapsule formulation...

The rise in atopic dermatitis prevalence observed in industrialized countries is unexplained. We hypothesized that certain skin care practices early in life may increase the risk for developing atopic dermatitis. Our case-control study could not identify any one practice that increased the odds of developing atopic dermatitis, but it revealed that regular lotion use was very common in infants w...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to formulate a phytosome lotion from Mangkokan leaf using green solvent extraction. Methods: Ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, combined with microwave-assisted extraction, used obtain flavonoid compounds. extract formulated into three different ratios phospholipon (1:0.5), (1:1), and (1:2). Three formulas were analyzed identify...

Two experiments examined whether self-regulatory goals addressed in advertising claims influence product preferences and category-brand associations. Experiment 1 provided evidence for the hypothesis that the fit between an advertising claim and consumers’ regulatory focus has an impact on product preferences. Participants were more likely to prefer products presented in an advertisement with a...
