A method for making a skin care composition by identifying connections between cosmetic agents and genes associated with one or more skin aging conditions. The method includes accessing a plurality of instances and at least one skin aging gene expression signature, comparing the at least one skin aging gene expression signature to the plurality of the instances, assigning a connectivity score to each instance based on the comparison and incorporating the cosmetic agent into a skin care composition when the connectivity score of the instance associated with the cosmetic agent has a negative correlation.

Method of making skin care compositions

A system for identifying connections between a cosmetic agent and at least one gene associated with a skin aging condition. The system includes a computer readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of instances and a skin aging gene expression signature. Each instance comprises an ordered list of identifiers representing a plurality of differentially expressed genes generated as a result of contact between the cosmetic agent and a human fibroblast cell or a human keratinocyte cell. The computing device includes computer-readable instructions for accessing the plurality of instances and the skin aging gene expression signature stored on the computer readable medium, comparing each of the instances to the skin aging gene expression signature, and assigning a connectivity score to each of the instances based on the comparison.
