A controlled release beadlet that sequentially releases carotenoids over time within the gastrointestinal tract of a subject, as well as a method of administering the carotenoids. The beadlet provides a specific ratio of carotenoids which release from the beadlet at preselected times during passage through the gastrointestinal tract. The method includes releasing the carotenoids in preselected ratios at specific time intervals in the gastrointestinal tract to mitigate competition between the carotenoids for their uptake, and/or to potentially maximize the uptake of individual carotenoids within a mixed carotenoid formulation.

The present invention relates to methods of increasing tyrosinase synthesis, expression, or activity in a cell comprising administering to the cell at least one non polar grape seed extract, for example, a nonpolar grape seed extract obtained using hexane as an extraction solvent. The nonpolar grape seed extract may be obtained by any extraction process including solvent sequential fractionation and supercritical fluid extraction.

Methods of using nonpolar grape seed extracts to stimulate tyrosinase expression or melanin synthesis

A skin whitening composition includes an extract of black cohosh obtained by sequentially exposing the black cohosh to two or more solvents of varying solvent strengths. The root of the black cohosh can be separately used to obtain the extract. The composition can be topically applied to the human skin and can further include one or more cosmetically acceptable ingredients. A method of suppressing melanogenesis includes topically applying to the skin a composition comprising an extract of black cohosh obtained by sequentially exposing the black cohosh to two or more solvents of varying solvent strength.

Skin whitening compositions containing black cohosh extract

A skin whitening composition includes an extract of asparagus obtained by sequentially exposing the asparagus to two or more solvents of varying solvent strengths. The root and shoot portions of the asparagus can be separately used to obtain the extract. The composition can be topically applied to the human skin and can further include one or more cosmetically acceptable ingredients. A method of suppressing melanogenesis includes topically applying to the skin a composition comprising an extract of asparagus obtained by sequentially exposing the asparagus to two or more solvents of varying solvent strengths.
