Topical personal care compositions containing amino acids and 4-substituted resorcinols for potentiating glutathione synthesis within skin cells. The compositions can be used to improve skin appearance of chronological aging or photoaging, resulting from exposure to UV light/sunlight, or environmental pollutants. The compositions are also useful for attaining even skin color and reducing pigmentation, age spots and discoloration.

Personal care compositions with glutathione precursor comprising 4-substituted resorcinols and amino acids

Skin lightening additives and personal care compositions containing amino acids and nicotinamide compounds. The compositions are useful for attaining even skin color and reducing pigmentation, age spots and discoloration.

Topical skin lightening additive and composition with amino acids and nicotinamide compounds

The present invention is in the field of personal care compositions; in particular skin lightening compositions. It is believed that niacinamide reduces the melanosome transfer from melanocytes to keratinocytes thereby bringing about skin lightening. However, niacinamide is known to have little or no effect directly on the melanin content in the melanocytes. Thus a composition with multiple modes of action, that combines the reduction of melanosome transfer and the reduction of melanin content in the melanocytes remains to be desired. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a composition with synergistic amounts of picolinamide and niacinamide, providing improved melanosome transfer inhibition. It has been found that a synergistic skin lightening effect is obtained when niacinamide is combined with its isomer, picolinamide.

Skin lightening composition

The invention relates to a skin lightening composition, more particularly a composition which derives synergy between an active of natural origin and an active of synthetic origin. The present inventors have judiciously combined a selective salt of a dicarboxylic acid viz. disodium fumarate along with a specific extract of a plant source e.g.rich in certain organic aromatic acids to provide for synergic skin lightening benefits. They have further found that inclusion of certain activity enhancers in the composition of the invention improves the skin lightening efficacy.

The present invention relates to a skin lightening composition and a method of lightening skin. The skin lightening is achieved using siRNA oligonucleotides which are able to achieve this using much lower concentration as compared to known chemical actives.
