The invention relates to a gellant system for a polar oil comprising gellant effective amounts of silica, a sugar fatty acid ester and a long chain polymer. The gellant system of the invention is useful in gelling polar oils to produce transparent or translucent gels useful in topical compositions.

Transparent oil gelling system

A case for extruded powders comprising a surface having at least one groove with extruded powders disposed therein. The powders are preferably not all the same color. Preferably, forty percent or more of each extruded powder rises above the surface and preferably, the cross sectional shape of each groove matches the cross sectional shape of that part of the extruded powder that is disposed in the groove. Optional dividers separate the extruded powders so that they do not contact each other. Optional restraints inhibit the powders from coming out of the grooves. Also optional are an outer container into which the surface is disposed and cover to protect the powders when not in use. The case may comprise other cosmetic elements such as an applicator, a mirror or a pan or pressed powder.

Case for presenting and using cosmetic powders

The invention relates to cosmetic composition comprising a fluorescent-effective amount of at least one fluorescent mineral powder, in combination with a cosmetically acceptable vehicle, wherein the powder, when the composition is applied, does not substantially alter the color of the skin. The compositions of the invention can be used as color cosmetics and skin treatment products, to replenish the skin's natural fluorescent glow.

Cosmetic compositions containing fluorescent minerals

The present invention relates to a method for preventing or treating skin damage which comprises applying to the skin a composition containing an effective amount of a cosmetically or pharmaceutically acceptable compound capable of acting as an electron donor, simultaneously or substantially simultaneously with the application of a composition containing an effective amount of a cosmetically or pharmaceutically acceptable compound capable of acting as an electron acceptor, whereby an exchange of electrons between the electron donor and electron acceptor results in generation of an electrical current on the skin.

&agr;-hydroxyacid esters of DHEA useful against skin disorders

The invention relates to a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition containing a moisturizing effective amount of S water, as well as a method for enhancing the moisturization capacity of a skin care composition containing an aqueous component comprising incorporating S water as all or part of the aqueous component

Structured water for enhanced moisturization

The invention relates to composition having enhanced biological activity, the compositions comprising at least one structured water. In particular, the compositions contain a combination of I and S waters and a biologically active agent, in which the activity of the agent is increased relative to its activity in a non-structured water composition.

Structured water in cosmetic compositions

The present invention relates to cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions for topical application to the skin, the compositions comprising effective amounts of at least one of each of the antioxidants selected from the group consisting of (a) tocopherol and derivatives thereof, (b) ascorbic acid and derivatives thereof,(c) a butylated phenol, (d)N-acetyl cysteine, (e)a rosemary extract, and (f)ubiquinone and derivatives thereof. The compositions are useful in treating and preventing the symptoms of photoaging.

Antioxidant mixture comprising tocopherol

The present invention relates to cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions for topical application to the skin, the compositions comprising effective amounts of at least one of each of the antioxidants selected from the group consisting of (a) tocopherol and derivatives thereof, (b) ascorbic acid and derivatives thereof, (c) a butylated phenol, (d) a rosemary extract, and (e)ubiquinone and derivatives thereof. The compositions are useful in treating and preventing the symptoms of photoaging.

Antioxidant mixture

The present invention relates to cosmetic skin or hair cleansing compositions comprising tourmaline.

Tourmaline in cosmetic cleansing compositions

The present invention relates to cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions comprising a magnetic metal species bound to an ion exchange resin as well as a method for preparing stable compositions of this type.

Magnetic cosmetic compositions

Novel steroid esters useful for regulating skin atrophy, and skin maladies, as well as compositions containing the esters and methods for their use are described. A preferred steroid ester is DHEA salicylate. Such types of skin atrophy to be treated include the thinning and/or general degradation of the dermis often characterized by a decrease in collagen and/or elastin as well as decreased number, size and doubling potential of fibroblast cells. Such skin maladies include but are not limited to dry skin, dandruff, acne, keratoses, psoriasis, eczema, pruritis, age spots, lentigines, melasmas, wrinkles, warts, blemished skin, hyperpigmented skin, hyperkeratotic skin, inflammatory dermatoses, age-related skin changes and skin in need of cleansers.

Steroid esters useful against skin disorders

The present invention provides a method of improving skin condition by administering to the skin a physiologically acceptable substrate that is exposed to a magnetic vector potential field and that optionally contains information energy.

Method of improving skin condition

Disclosed is the use of dehydroepiandrosterone salicylate in the treatment of skin atrophy. ##STR1## Such types skin atrophy to be treated include the thinning and/or general degradation of the dermis often characterized by a decrease in collagen and/or elastin as well as decreased number, size and doubling potential of fibroblast cells.
