20080213202 | Composition For Improving Skin Lipid Barrier Function - The invention relates to a composition for topical application to the skin comprising effective amounts of a protease inhibitor and a cell differentiation enhancer. The composition is useful in promoting skin lipid barrier repair and maintaining the integrity of the lipid barrier. In this regard, the compositions can be used in the treatment and prevention of dry skin, and associated chrono/proto-aging conditions, in the treatment and prevention of irritation on the skin, in the treatment and prevention of UV-related damage to the skin, and in the enhancement of the retention of self-tanning. | 09-04-2008 |
20090155371 | Compositions Comprising Solid Particles Entrapped In Collapsed Polymeric Microspheres, And Methods Of Making The Same - The present invention relates to topical compositions containing solid particles that are stabilized via entrapment by microspheres. Each of the microspheres contains a collapsed polymeric shell that has entrapped therein one or more solid particles. The solid particles are preferably formed of zinc oxide or titanium dioxide or both, which can readily be used either alone or in combination with other sunscreen agents to form sunscreen compositions of broader UV protection spectrum and enhanced photostability. | 06-18-2009 |
20090156689 | METHOD OF ENHANCING BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF PLANT EXTRACTS - 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. | 06-18-2009 |
20100040696 | Composite Particles Having An Antioxidant-Based Protective System, And Topical Compositions Comprising The Same - The present invention relates to topical compositions containing a dispersion of composite particles. Each of such composite particles contains one or more core particles encapsulated or entrapped in a polymeric shell. At least some of the core particles are formed of a material capable of causing generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Each of the composite particles further contains: (1) a first antioxidant co-encapsulated or co-entrapped with the core particles inside the polymeric shell for quenching or scavenging ROS generated in the vicinity of the core particles, and (2) a second antioxidant coated over the polymeric shell for preventing or reducing oxidative damage to the skin, such as lipid peroxidation. The particle dispersion of the present invention therefore can be readily formulated into topical sunscreen compositions with organic sunscreen agents susceptible to oxidative decomposition or degradation to provide improved protection against skin damage caused by exposure to UV light. | 02-18-2010 |
20110104251 | Cosmetic Composition And Method For Retarding Hair Growth - The present invention comprises cosmetic compositions and methods for retarding hair growth comprising a combination of an ornithine decarboxylase inhibitor, an anti-angiogenic active and an anti-inflammatory. | 05-05-2011 |
20110223262 | Method of Enhancing Biological Activity of Plant Extracts - 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. | 09-15-2011 |
20120015010 | Compositions Comprising Pigment Particles Entrapped In Collapsed Polymeric Microspheres, And Methods Of Making The Same - Topical compositions containing pigment particles entrapped in microspheres are provided. Each of the microspheres contains a collapsed polymeric shell that has entrapped therein one or more pigment particles. The microsphere-entrapped pigment particles are characterized by enhanced color intensity, improved stability, and better dispersibility, which can readily be used either alone or in combination with other skin active ingredients to form better colored cosmetics. | 01-19-2012 |
20120045579 | Compositions Comprising Solid Particles Entrapped in Collapsed Polymeric Microspheres, and Methods of Making the Same - The present invention relates to method for modifying or treating solid particles which includes the steps of:

20120087888 | Bio-Mechanical Stimulation Of Collagen Synthesis In Skin Cells And Reduction Of Appearance Of Fine Lines And Wrinkles On The Skin - The present invention achieves bio-mechanical stimulation of collagen synthesis in skin cells and reduction of the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the skin by applying a polymeric composition onto the skin in a manner so as to create surface tension that mimics the natural mechanical tension found in youthful skin. | 04-12-2012 |
20130095046 | Method And Composition For Improving Skin Barrier Function - The invention relates to a method for improving skin lipid barrier function by applying to the skin a composition comprising effective amounts of a protease inhibitor and a cell differentiation enhancer. The composition is useful in promoting skin lipid barrier repair and maintaining the integrity of the lipid barrier. In this regard, the compositions can be used in the treatment and prevention of dry skin, and associated chrono/proto-aging conditions, in the treatment and prevention of irritation on the skin, in the treatment and prevention of UV-related damage to the skin, and in the enhancement of the retention of self-tanning. | 04-18-2013 |
20130156830 | Composite Particles, Compositions And Methods - Composite particulates, topical composition containing composite particulates, methods for improving the appearance of skin depth, dimensionality or undertones; a method for improving the ashy, chalky or mask-like appearance of color cosmetic compositions on the skin; and a method for reducing the number of shades in a color cosmetic shade range by formulating the cosmetic with composite particulates. | 06-20-2013 |
20130194261 | System For Skin Treatment Analysis Using Spectral Image Data To Generate 3D RGB Model - A method is provided for tracking and analyzing changing skin conditions and displaying such conditions in an RGB image format on a three dimensional virtual model to facilitate research and consumer communication. The system involves building a catalog, library or database of skin conditions in the form of datasets taken from spectral images that include the skin conditions of interest. For each spectral image dataset identifying a skin condition of interest a corresponding RGB dataset is calculated and compiled in a database. The database of calculated RGB datasets is used to diagnose skin conditions of subjects by analyzing RGB or spectral photographs of the subject. The spectral or RGB data sets can also be used to predict the effects of proposed treatments and the resulting altered skin condition can be displayed in RGB images that are readily comprehended. | 08-01-2013 |
