Tiger Balm Garden
No full textCase study 1: The origins and evolution of this designed cultural landscape are presented, including a review of the flamboyant owner and designer, Aw Boon Haw, founder of the successful Tiger Balm empire, His design was a bold concept based on a unique expression of Chinese garden principles using vibrantly coloured sculptures and structures to depict scenes from Chinese mythology, religion, and philosophy.
The garden functioned as a valuable public open space, a reminder to Chinese immigrants of their cultural roots, a promotion of the Tiger Balm products, and, most profoundly, as an allegory to reflect on one’s journey through life.
In its heyday, Tiger Balm Garden was a popular landmark and venue for local residents and visitors, How it came to be neglected and eventually demolished is a cautionary tale for other heritage cultural landscapes in Hong Kong. The lessons learned reveal how the planning and heritage conservation system is not equipped to deal with protecting cultural landscapes.</p

Scientific Opinion on the use of oregano and lemon balm extracts as a food additive
No full textThe Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources added to Food (ANS) provides a scientific opinion on the safety of oregano and lemon balm extracts when used as a food additive. The Panel notes that the petitioner has provided only limited chemical characterisation of the compounds present in the extracts and that the specifications as proposed are not in line with what would be expected for a botanical or botanical preparation. The Panel notes that oregano and lemon balm have a safe history of use as herbal food ingredients, and that oregano and lemon balm natural extractives are listed as natural extractives generally recognized as safe (GRAS). However, the Panel considers that this presumption of safety might not be applicable to the specific
conditions of use and use levels as a food additive. The potential mean exposure to oregano or lemon balm extracts phenolics from the eight food category sources for which use and use levels were proposed by the petitioner amounted to respectively 2.0 mg/kg bw/day for women and 2.3 mg/kg bw/day for men. The Panel concludes that the intake of phenolics resulting from the use of oregano and lemon balm extracts as food additive at the proposed uses and use levels would be in the range of the intake resulting from the use of oregano and lemon balm leaves for preparation of herbal teas. However, the Panel also notes the inadequate specifications and characterisation of the extracts and the absence of data on genotoxicity, reproductive and developmental
toxicity and long-term toxicity of oregano and lemon balm extracts. Altogether, with reference to the SCF ́Guidance on submissions for food additive evaluations, the Panel concludes that due to the lack of an
appropriate dossier supporting the use of oregano and lemon balm extracts as additives, the safety of oregano and lemon balm extracts at the proposed uses and use levels cannot be assessed

LEGISLATIVE ATTACK ON HEART BALM
No full textPublic resentment over the abuses incident to heart balm suits has recently culminated in sweeping legislative reform. Through the repeated efforts of a woman legislator, Indiana has abolished actions for seduction of females over twenty-one years of age, for breach of promise to marry, and for criminal conversation and alienation of affections. Almost immediately New York, and shortly thereafter Illinois, passed similar legislation, and at least ten other states are now considering analogous proposals
Phyto Cosmetic Formulation of Lip Balm from Rosa damascena P. Mill: Preparation and Quality Assessment
No full textThe present study focused on the formulation and evaluation of a phyto-cosmetic lip balm using Rosa damascena P. Mill. extract. Fresh rose petals were collected, authenticated, and subjected to hot water percolation to obtain an aqueous extract, which was deep purple in color and rich in phytochemicals including flavonoids, phenolics, and anthocyanins. The extract was incorporated into a lip balm base comprising beeswax, coconut oil, rose oil, and vitamin E. The final formulation was evaluated for physicochemical and performance parameters such as pH, melting point, spreadability, extrudability, and skin irritation. The product exhibited a smooth brownish-yellow texture with a pH of 5.8, which lies within the ideal range for topical applications. The melting point was 67°C, confirming formulation stability. No irritation was observed in skin irritability testing, indicating its safety. Texture analysis demonstrated favorable spreadability with firmness and shear work values of 2341.7 g and 2736.2 g/sec, respectively, while extrudability required only 149.8 g of force, confirming ease of application. These results suggest that the lip balm possesses desirable cosmetic attributes and potential therapeutic benefits due to the bioactive constituents of Rosa damascena. Further studies on stability, microbial safety, and consumer acceptability are recommended to advance this prototype toward commercialization.
