Stable topical emulsions for cosmetic/pharmaceutical purposes can be made from a two component system of a powdered ascorbic acid phase and a liquid phase, the liquid phase containing an emulsion stabilizingly effective amount of an organoclay material.

Stable topical cosmetic/pharmaceutical emulsion compositions containing

A method of stimulating at least one of fibroblasts and keratinocytes in an individual in need thereof which comprises applying to such individual an amount effective therefor of a composition comprising

Stimulating fibroblasts and/or keratinocytes

A cosmetic skin-renewal stimulating composition suitable for daily use by consumers and providing anti-aging benefits with control of delayed irritation. The invention adds small quantities of a naturally occurring small-molecule, biologically active, aliphatic aminodiol lipid, for example sphingosine, to cosmetics incorporating a skin-renewal stimulating acid, for example lactic, hydroxybenzoic or retinoic acid, to provide control of deferred hyperproliferative allergenicity induced by the skin-renewal stimulating acid. Comparative data show a beneficial control of long-term irritation induced by several weeks of daily use of a variety of skin-renewal stimulating acids. The novel activity is displayed by sphingosine alone among several classes of biologically active skin lipids, in a selective and surprising manner. The results suggest applicability of the invention to wider classes of cell-proliferation agents for the control of deferred hyperproliferative allergenicity.

Cosmetic skin-renewal-stimulating composition with long-term irritation

A cyclomethicone-based oil-free, non-stinging make-up remover is disclosed which is effective in removing both aqueous and waterproof make-up. A preferred composition comprises a major proportion of a cyclomethicone compound with a mixture of ester of a medium chain aliphatic alcohol being the benzoates and octanoates of primary alcohols having from 12 to 15 carbon atoms. A tri-alkyl citrate is an optional co-solvent.

Eye makeup remover

An improved coating for cosmetic materials is disclosed. Flouroalkylpolysiloxanes used as coatings for cosmetic powders and microparticulate materials provides the advantages of existing polysiloxane coatings plus provides advantages making the coated materials useful in emulsion systems and alkaline systems even when aged at high temperatures.

Coated cosmetic materials and method of coating cosmetic materials

Cosmetic and pharmaceutical compositions and methods comprising delivery systems for the controlled release and enhanced penetration of biologically active materials (e.g., Vitamin A) to the skin. The delivery systems comprise cholesteric liquid crystals wherein the active material is retained within the lamellar molecular structure (i.e., between the molecular sheets) of the cholesteric liquid crystal.
