Provided are methods of treating skin with at least two alternating treatment modalities to improve the health and/or diminish signs of aging. Some methods according to the present invention may comprise topically applying at least two separate compositions, in a sequential, rotating, or alternating fashion to overcome adaptation, tolerance, or sensitization phenomena.

Methods for treating skin

Compositions are provided that provide release of fragrance over an extended period of time. The compositions comprise a hydrophilically-modified cross-linked silicone elastomer and an acrylic rheology modifier.

Extended release fragrance compositions

Compositions are provided that provide release of insect repellant or fragrance over an extended period of time. The compositions comprise a hydrophilically-modified cross-linked silicone elastomer and an acrylic rheology modifier.

Extended release insect repellant or fragrance compositions

There are disclosed skin treatment compositions containing cell signaling compounds, which induce and promote the biosynthesis and/or bioactivity of endogenous chemicals that mediate cell to cell communication in the skin between keratinocytes, fibroblasts and other cell types present in the skin. The cell signaling compound is selected from the group consisting of: andrographolide and its derivatives; adenosine cyclic phosphate and its derivatives; hydrolyzed milk proteins; sunflower seed extract; plankton extract; phytol and its derivatives; and mixtures thereof.

Skin care composition that mediates cell to cell communication

The present invention provides a water-based composition comprising a non-emulsifying crosslinked silicone elastomer in an amount effective to decrease the amount of sebum on the hair or scalp. The water-based compositions of the present invention are in non-emulsion form. More preferably, the water-based compositions of the present invention have a suspending agent in an amount effective to suspend the crosslinked silicone elastomer within the water-based composition. The present invention also provides to a method of method for absorbing and/or removing sebum and/or styling product residue from the hair or scalp. The method comprises the step of applying the water-based composition to the hair and/or scalp. Preferably, the water-based hair composition is distributed through the hair and/or scalp, e.g., by using a comb or brush.

Hair and scalp composition with a crosslinked silicone elastomer and method of using same

There is provided an aqueous cosmetic composition. The composition has an amount of a water-resistant film former and an amount of an oil-resistant film former effective to impart resistance to both water and oil when applied to the lip and/or skin. A preferred composition is a lip coloring and gloss product.

Aqueous cosmetic coloring and gloss compositions having film formers

There is provided a photostable and synergistically enhanced topical sunscreen composition that provides increased substantivity, waterproofness, sweat resistance and rub off resistance. There is further provided methods of enhancing the photostability of a sunscreen active in a topical sunscreen composition, synergistically enhancing the UV absorbance of a topical sunscreen composition having a sunscreen active, and enhancing the substantivity, waterproofness, sweat resistance and rub off resistance in a topical sunscreen composition. The preferred compositions and methods have a sunscreen active, a cosmetically acceptable vehicle, and novel 2-substituted-3,3-diaryl-2-propenoic acid derivatives with [A] a Cto Cstraight or branched chain, substituted or un-substituted, conjugated or non-conjugated hydrocarbon, or [B] a siloxane, polysiloxane, organo-modified polysiloxane residue, a group represented by the formula R[Si(R)]&#x2014; and Rwhich is a silicone residue derived from a silicone represented by the formula ROH having a molecular weight up to about 30,000, wherein each Ris independently selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkoxy, aryl and aryloxy and n is from 1 to about 500.

Sunscreen compounds and compositions containing same and methods for use thereof

The present invention provides novel aryl benzimidazole sulfonic acid esters and cosmetic compositions that employ the novel aryl benzimidazole sulfonic acid esters as sunscreens. The cosmetic compositions can be water, organic solvent or emulsion based. Also provided are methods of using the compositions to protect skin from exposure to the sun, and optionally, repel insects.

Esters of aryl benzimidazole sulfonic acids and sunscreen compositions containing same

There are disclosed cosmetic compositions and methods for protection of keratinous tissue against environmental aggressors, such as smoke, smog and UV radiation. The compositions have as an essential antioxidant: (i) hesperetin, (ii) tetrahydrocurcumin, (iii) tetrahydrodemethoxycurcumin, or (iv) tetrahydrobisdemethoxycurcumin, or mixtures of thereof. The compositions are preferably in the form of oil in water emulsions and may optionally contain one or more emulsifiers, preservatives, thickeners, sunscreens, additional antioxidants, emollients, skin protectants, hair protectants, nail protectants and the like.
