摘要:
Stable retinol compositions are disclosed. The compositions comprise retinol, a volatile silicone and a mutual solvent for the retinol and silicone. Preferred compositions contain retinol, cyclomethicone and ethanol.Were the retinol level in the compositions is between 0.005 and 1.0 weight percent, the compositions may be topically applied to the skin in areas where fine lines, wrinkles or other signs of aging exist. Such topical application results in a reduction in wrinkles and fine lines and improves skin quality. Where the compositions contain more than 0.005 to 1.0 weight percent retinol they may be diluted with cosmetically acceptable carriers or vehicles, preferably water in oil emulsions to reduce the retinol level and topically applied.

摘要:
Elastomeric materials which are formed by curing a mixture of a carboxylic acid and/or a natural oil containing a carboxyl group and an amino alkyl dimethylpolysiloxane having alkoxy functional groups are disclosed. Curing is preferably effected by heating, generally for 24 or more hours depending on the materials used, their thickness and the desired transparency. The materials may optionally contain fillers to enhance strength. Incorporation of a fragrance in the elastomeric materials renders them useful as pomanders. The elastomers also have utility as shock cushions and coatings.
摘要:
A cosmetic composition is provided whose major component is petroleum jelly and incorporates a C.sub.18 -C.sub.30 acyl lactylate. Most preferred is behenoyl lactylate. Relatively nongreasy and easily spreadable compositions result which have improved skin healing, moisturization and other skin benefit properties.
摘要:
A cosmetic composition is provided that includes a C.sub.2 -C.sub.22 .alpha.-hydroxy carboxylic acid or salt thereof dispersed within petroleum jelly with the aid of a phosphatide. Additional components may include a sterol and a C.sub.10 -C.sub.22 fatty acid.
摘要:
This invention is directed to a non-invasive, topical treatment for telangiectasia, a dermatological condition commonly known as spider veins.
