摘要:
A self-tanning cosmetic product is provided for imparting a natural-appearing tan to skin. Besides the self-tanning agent, compositions of this invention will include a crosslinked non-emulsifying siloxane elastomer and a volatile siloxane.
摘要:
A method and composition is provided for treating skin to achieve lightening by employing an active of the structure: ##STR1## wherein R is selected from the group consisting of C.sub.1 -C.sub.30 alkyl, cycloalkyl and aryl radicals. Most preferred is acetaminophen.
摘要:
A cosmetic composition is provided which includes ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) solubilized by a crosslinked non-emulsifying siloxane elastomer in a carrier medium of a volatile siloxane. Aesthetic properties are also improved by the presence of the crosslinked non-emulsifying siloxane elastomer.
摘要:
A cosmetic product is provided for delivery of skin actives through adhesive strips which concurrently remove keratotic plugs from skin pores. The product is a strip including a flexible substrate sheet onto which a composition containing an adhesive polymer is deposited. The composition is essentially a polymer of anionic, cationic, nonionic, amphoteric or zwitterionic variety which increases in tackiness upon being wetted, with wetting occurring just prior to application onto the skin thereby enhancing the composition's adhesivity. Skin agents delivered through the adhesive strip include vitamins, herbal extracts, alpha- and beta-hydroxycarboxylic acids, ceramides, anti-inflammatories, antimicrobials, vasoconstrictors, zinc salts and mixtures thereof. The strips are sealably enclosed within a pouch for purposes of moisture protection.
摘要:
A cosmetic product is provided for removing keratotic skin plugs. The product includes a flexible non-occlusive substrate sheet onto which a composition containing an anionic or nonionic polymer is deposited. The composition is treated to become dry non-tacky to the touch yet upon being wetted for use the composition again turns tacky and mobile. The method of application involves either directly moistening the product or indirectly moistening by first wetting a consumer's face in an area where the product is applied. Thereafter, water is allowed to evaporate leaving a film to which the keratotic plugs are bonded. The film is then peeled away concommittingly removing the plugs.

摘要:
A cosmetic composition is provided which includes a C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 alpha-hydroxycarboxylic acid and a C.sub.16 -C.sub.20 alpha-hydroxycarboxylic acid delivered in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Most preferred as the longer chain acids is a mixture fractionated from lanolin. The cosmetic composition can be employed in a method for treating dermatological disorders, chronoaging and environmental abuse. Preferably the composition is intended to inhibit or reduce the formation of wrinkles and sagging of skin while improving glow and firmness.

摘要:
A cosmetic composition is provided which includes ferulic acid or its C.sub.1 -C.sub.30 alcohol esters and dimethyl isosorbide in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Dimethyl isosorbide enhances skin lightening, antioxidant and other skin activities of ferulic acid and its esters.
摘要:
A method and composition is provided for treating skin to achieve lightening by employing an active of the structure: ##STR1## wherein R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, hydroxy and C.sub.1 -C.sub.30 alkyl or aryl groups radicals; and R.sup.1 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and C.sub.1 -C.sub.30 alkyl or aryl radicals.
