Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to stable cosmetic compositions for delivering high amounts of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and ceramides to the skin, products containing such cosmetic compositions, and methods for treating skin using the cosmetic compositions. The cosmetic compositions include ascorbic acid, one or more ceramides, panthenol, one or more monoalcohols having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms, one or more polyols, one or more fatty compounds, one or more emulsifiers, one or more cationic surfactants, and water. The cosmetic compositions are particularly useful for treating the effects of skin aging, for example, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and improving skin tone.
Abstract:
A skin care system and method for managing a skin care system. The skin care system includes circuitry to receive skin information from a user. The circuitry determines treatable skin conditions based on the skin information. The skin care system generates severity information and cosmetic formulation compatibility information based on the treatable skin conditions. The skin care system is further able to virtually display user-specific compatible cosmetic formulations based on at least one parameter associated with the severity information and cosmetic formulation compatibility.
Abstract:
A method for improving skin comprising reducing the barrier function of skin, and applying a skin treatment composition to the skin. The skin treatment composition may include about 0.1 to about 25 wt. % of acetyl trifluoromethylphenyl valylglycine; about 0.5 to about 30 wt. % of a polyol; about 0.1 to about 30 wt. % of a silicone, fatty compound, or a mixtures thereof, wherein the skin treatment composition is an emulsion, and all weight percentages are based on the total weight of the skin treatment composition.
Abstract:
A method for managing skin tone comprising reducing the synthesis of melanin by applying a skin treatment composition to skin. The skin treatment composition may include about 0.1 to about 25 wt. % of acetyl trifluoromethylphenyl valylglycine; about 0.5 to about 30 wt. % of a polyol; about 0.1 to about 30 wt. % of a silicone, fatty compound, or a mixtures thereof, wherein the skin treatment composition is an emulsion, and all weight percentages are based on the total weight of the skin treatment composition.
Abstract:
A customized skin care composition. The skin care composition includes a base composition comprising one of an aqueous alcohol composition or an aqueous emulsion. The skin care composition further includes at least two booster compositions selected from the group consisting of a first grade exfoliating agent; a second grade exfoliating agent, the second grade exfoliating agent providing greater exfoliating than the first grade exfoliating agent; a first grade whitening agent; a second grade whitening agent, the second grade whitening agent providing greater whitening than the first grade whitening agent; a first grade anti-aging agent; and a second grade anti-aging agent, the second grade anti-aging agent providing greater anti-aging effects than the first grade anti-aging agent. The base composition and the at least two booster compositions have been mixed to form a composition that is stable and has efficacious concentrations of active ingredients corresponding to skin conditions of a consumer.
Abstract:
An oil-in-water composition is provided. The composition includes an oil-in-water wherein the emulsion includes a) one or more antioxidants, b) one or more SPF boosters, c) one or more acrylate-based polymer capable of stabilizing the composition, d) one or more organic UV filters, e) one or more thickeners, f) one or more film formers; and g) one or more emulsifiers. The oil-in-water composition is provided in which the composition is essentially free of oxybenzone.
Abstract:
A system forms a cosmetic composition. The system includes a dispensing arrangement in selective fluid communication with a plurality of dispensing dosing receptacles mounted on a movable carousel. The dispensing arrangement is configured to selectively dispense a plurality of the booster compositions together with a base composition corresponding to a formulation corresponding to a compatibility profile and consumer skin conditions to form a stable composition having efficacious concentrations of active ingredients into a receiving receptacle.
Abstract:
A transparent or translucent cosmetic composition in the form of a water-in-oil emulsion is provided. The composition includes an aqueous phase at a concentration, by weight, of about 50%-90%, based upon weight of the composition. The aqueous phase includes at least one amphiphilic compound selected from the group consisting of urea, sodium 5-oxo-2-pyrrolidinecarboxylate (sodium PCA), hydroxyethyl urea, nicotinamide, sodium citrate, ascorbic acid, or combinations thereof. The at least one amphiphilic compound is at a concentration, by weight, of about 2% to about 50%, based upon weight of the composition. The composition includes an oil phase comprising at least one water-in-oil emulsifier at a concentration, by weight, of about 1%-25%, based upon weight of the composition. The water-in-oil emulsion is a transparent or translucent composition.
Abstract:
A water-based composition in a cosmetically acceptable carrier that includes acetyl trifluoromethylphenyl valylglycine stabilized by inclusion of hydroxyethyl urea in the absence of other solvents. The composition is stable as evidenced by a lack of crystal formation that is visible to the naked eye, and a lack of visually perceptible crystal formation at an ambient temperature from about 25° C. up to about 37° C. and after 10 days of freeze thaw cycles from −20° C. through 20° C.
Abstract:
A skin care composition includes a gel stabilized emulsion comprising a combination of actives that include azelaic acid, at least one hydroquinone derivative, and niacinamide, at least one anionic polymer thickener, and at least one fatty compound. The provides a hydrating formula that is comfortable for the wearer and is oil free, without appearing shiny or greasy on the skin, and includes actives to treat the appearance of dark spots and inflammatory lesions, including acne, for all skin types. The skin care composition is free or essentially free of monoalcohols, silicones, silicone oils, and oils other than fatty compounds that comprise emollient esters, hydrogenated polyisobutene, and squalane.
