Abstract:

A topical composition according to the present invention for use in a skin care regimen that provides matrix metalloprotease (MMP) inhibiting activity, tissue inhibitor of metalloprotease (TIMP) inducing activity, and immediate and delayed antioxidative activity. Preferably, the topical composition comprises at least one MMP inhibitor, a TIMP inducing agent, (snow fungus) extract, (green tea) leaf extract, and (clove) extract. The compositions are useful in anti-wrinkle and anti-aging products, providing elasticity, firmness, tone and texture to the skin, ameliorating fine lines and preventing skin damage.

International Classification:

A61K007/00

US Classification:

424/401000

Abstract:

A perfluorinated oil-in-water biliquid foam is provided as a vehicle for delivering cosmetics and active agents while producing a refreshing and unique contact with the skin, and enhancing the aroma of fragrances within the foam. The biliquid foam contains an oil phase perfluorinated solvent, surfactants, co-solvents, and oil-based ingredients such as aromatic extracts, and a water phase with anionic or hydrophilic surfactants. The biliquid foam may be made by gradually increasing addition of the oil phase to the water phase under moderate mixing conditions. Various other auxillary cosmetic and non-cosmetic components such as vitamins, anti-oxidants, stabilizers, thickeners, dyes, moisturizers, and preservatives may be added to the biliquid foam as well.

Abstract:

The instant invention relates to methods of preparing and stabilizing complex multiphase compositions that include distinct phases of water, gel, liquid crystal or oil and perfluoropolyether dispersed in a continuous phase of a silicone fluid. In particular, the present invention relates to a method of preparing a stable multiphase composition comprising the steps of mixing an aqueous solution of a water-soluble polymeric emulsifier, a silicone-based emulsifier and an oleophobic, hydrophobic silicone fluid in amounts effective to form a stable water-in-silicone emulsion; mixing the water-in-silicone emulsion with a hydrophilic gel comprising a homogeneous mixture of water and a sufficient amount of at least one viscosity-enhancing, water-soluble polymer, the emulsion and gel being combined in amounts effective to form a dispersion in which the gel is dispersed in the emulsion; and adding to the dispersion an oil or a thermotropic liquid crystal and a perfluoropolyether in amounts effective to form a stable, multiphase composition comprising a continuous phase of silicone fluid and independent, polydisperse phases of water, gel, oil or liquid crystal and perfluoropolyether.
