摘要:
Compositions containing an anti-acne effective amount of five components that work combinatorially to combat the acne condition as a whole. The composition contains anti-irritant, anti-inflammatory, adhesion inhibiting, sebum reducing and sclareolide components. Inflamed and non-inflamed lesions associated with acne are reduced with a combination of the anti-irritant component, the anti-inflammatory component comprising at least hoelen mushroom extract, the adhesion inhibiting component comprising at least a polysaccharide, the sebum reducing component comprising at least a pygeum extract, and the sclareolide component. Methods of the present invention treat acne holistically. Therefore, these methods treat and prevent the irritation and inflammation frequently experienced when applying acne treatment. By applying to the skin an effective amount of the composition of the present invention the appearance of comedones is prevented. Compositions of the present invention protect against damaging effects of acne, and the appearance of comedones and pustules.

The present invention relates to a gelled cosmetic emulsion comprising an oil phase, an aqueous phase and a gelling system which contains at least one non-siloxane based polyamide in a sufficient amount to gel the emulsion. The polyamide can have an tertiary amide, ester, acid, or amine terminal end group. The emulsion is stabilized with an alkylene oxide containing emulsion stabilizer. The polyamide resin is stabilized with a resin stabilizer containing an atom with a certain electronegativity. The emulsions of the present invention are substantially transparent and when colorants are added the color is especially bright and clear. The emulsions are used in lipstick and mascara products as well as other gel and stick products.

A mascara brush has bristles that are wider and stiffer than conventional "soft" bristles. The brush has a central core formed from a pair of twisted wire segments. A plurality of radially extending bristles is secured between the pair of twisted wire segments to form a brush portion at an end of the core. The bristles are secured in a quantity of from 4 to 27 bristles per turn of the twisted wire segments. Each of the bristles has a diameter of from 8 mil to 18 mil and is made from a thermoplastic elastomer material having a durometer of between 62D and 82D. Preferably, the bristles have a diameter of 10 mil to 13 mil, are made from an elastomeric polyester material having a durometer of about 72D and are secured in a quantity of from 7-14 bristles per turn. The material from which the bristles are made is softer than the material from which conventional bristles are made to ensure that the bristles will supple enough to facilitate application and avoid irritation to the user.

The present invention provides a wiper for use in a container for pasty products, such as mascara, lip gloss, eyeshadow, dental or oral care products, ointments, or the like, which wiper (10) allows for the wiping of excess product from an applicator (3) as the applicator is withdrawn from a container (1), but does not wipe the applicator as it is placed into the container. The wiper of the present invention comprises two or more flaps (12) capable of occupying a first scraping position, when the applicator is withdrawn from the container, and a second non-scraping position, when the applicator is returned to the container. The non-scraping position of the flaps allows the applicator to be placed into the container without being wiped. This characteristic reduces the build-up of product within the neck of the container, thus providing a cleaner, aesthetically pleasing package for the consumer to use.

The present invention provides compositions containing a mixture of cholesterol sulfate and an exfoliant. The exfoliant can be N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, N-acetylgalactosamine, or a combination thereof. The combination of the cholesterol sulfate with the exfoliant surprisingly enhances the skin barrier even though the activity of each of the components is opposite the other. In addition, because of the ability to enhance or repair the skin barrier function, methods of improving or maintaining a healthy skin barrier are included in the present invention by applying to the skin an effective amount of the mixture of cholesterol sulfate with the exfoliant. The mixture can also be useful in treating or preventing damage to the skin, where the damage is caused by a compromised skin barrier function. As a result of improving the skin barrier function with the combination of cholesterol sulfate and the exfoliant, the appearance of lines and wrinkles is generally reduced; rough and dry skin conditions are also improved.
摘要:
A cosmetic package (2) has a pouch (30) container insert in an outer shell (2), the pouch container (30) defining a product chamber (34), a neck member (28) with a passage to the storage chamber (34), a cap (4) on the neck member (28) to close the passage and an applicator wand (8) extending from the cap (4) through the passage into the storage chamber. In addition, the neck member (28) includes a flange (50) adapted to connect the pouch container (30) to the package outer shell (2). The flange (50) has outwardly projecting teeth (56) that engage the outer shell (2) to prevent rotation of the insert with respect to the outer shell (2). In addition, the insert may be provided with an elastic annular ring (60), preferably in the form of an upwardly directed skirt mounted about the wand (8) and positioned at a location along a length of the wand (8) corresponding to a point between first end and the second end of the neck (8) when the cap (4) is engaged on the second end.

A thick-walled cosmetic container is made by over-molding a resin body (6) on a thin-walled glass or metal bottle. The bottle has a storage portion (10), a neck (12) extends from the storage of the bottle to an open distal end. To over-mold the resin walls on the bottle, the storage portion of the bottle is positioned in a mold cavity. The dies forming the mold cavity are adapted to allow at least the distal end of the neck to protrude from the mold while forming a tight seal about the neck. Resin is injected into the mold to avoid breaking or collapsing the bottle.

The invention relates to structured water and its antioxidant activity. In addition, the present invention to antioxidants incorporated within the cluster structure of either electropositive (S water) or electronegative (I water). The structured water, having the antioxidant within the cluster structure, has a stabilizing effect on the antioxidant. In addition, the antioxidant activity inherent to structured water is enhanced by the presence of the antioxidant within its cluster structure. The present invention also includes methods of removing or reducing free radicals on the skin and thereby preventing the signs of skin aging and the risks of cancer associated with the presence of free radicals in the skin.
摘要:
A multi-piston, ratcheted dispensing device for cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations comprising a hollow body (1), the body being interiorly divided into at least two channels (1e); a ratchet cup (3) for applying force to at least two ratcheting members (4), each ratcheting member being in rigid contact with one of at least two pistons (2), each piston being disposed within the channels; at least one recoil member (5) for biasing the ratchet cup away from the pistons; exit orifices (1c) disposed within the body; and, optionally, conductors (6) for directing the dispensed product, sealing mechanisms (7) to prevent dry-out of the product and an actuator (8, 9).
