Compositions comprising an isolate or extract comprising mangiferin, one or more of ferulic acid, Vitamin C, and baicalin, present in amounts sufficient to produce synergistic antioxidant activity and provided for cosmetic and other uses.

Compositions containing phenolic compounds having synergistic antioxidant benefits

Compositions comprising at least one polyphenol selected from the group consisting ofextract,leaf extract, androot extract, and baicalin, and Vitamin E, all present in amounts sufficient to produce synergistic antioxidant activity and provided for cosmetic and other uses.

Methods for providing broad spectrum photo protection to skin using antioxidants that provide UVA protection to skin are described. The methods include topically applying a cosmetic composition comprising: (a) at least one antioxidant having an Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) of at least 10,000 &#x3bc;mol TE/g and a Hydroxyl Radical Absorbance Capacity (HORAC) of at least 2,600 &#x3bc;mol GAE/g; (b) at least one organic UV filter; and (c) a cosmetically acceptable carrier; wherein the cosmetic composition provides an increase in UVAPF of at least 30% relative to an otherwise identical cosmetic composition without the antioxidant(s) of (a). The disclosure also relates to the cosmetic compositions useful in the described methods.

Methods for boosting UVA photo-protection using antioxidants

The present disclosure relates to cosmetic compositions and methods of using the cosmetic compositions to benefit the skin. The cosmetic compositions typically include: (a) resveratrol, polydatin, or a mixture thereof; (b) baicalin; (c) optionally, one or more solubilizers; and (d) a cosmetically acceptable carrier. The compositions provide multiple benefits to skin. For example, the compositions are particularly useful for providing anti-aging benefits to skin, for whitening the skin, and for improving skin's appears (e.g., radiance and firmness).

Photo-stabilized compositions and methods of use

A cosmetic composition and a method of preparing a cosmetic composition that includes mangiferin characterized as demonstrating soluble and chemically stable mangiferin, wherein stability includes resistance to crystallization of mangiferin that is independent of temperature and pH.

Aqueous compositions with mangiferin for cosmetic applications

The instant disclosure relates to microemulsion compositions comprising polydatin, which are useful as cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical compositions for application to the skin and/or hair. The microemulsion compositions comprise: (a) polydatin; (b) optionally, niacinamide; (c) optionally, baicalin; (d) one or more oils; (e) water; and (f) one or more emulsifiers. Furthermore, the ratio of the total amount of the one or more emulsifiers to the total amount of the one or more oils is typically 1.7 to 2.5.

Microemulsion compositions comprising polydatin and method of use

The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for providing full spectrum photo protection to skin, which includes protection from infrared (IR) radiation and/or visible light in addition to protection from UV radiation. The compositions typically include: (a) silymarin; (b) one or more antioxidants selected from the group consisting of ferulic acid, Vitamin C, polydatin, and hesperetin; (c) optionally, one or more solubilizers; and (d) a cosmetically acceptable carrier. The compositions are unique in that the combination of (a), (b), optional (c), and (d) alone, provide at least full spectrum protection from ultraviolet radiation (UV), visible light, and infrared radiation (IR). The composition can additionally, optionally, include one or more UV filters to further enhance protection from UV radiation.

Cosmetic compositions and methods for providing full spectrum photo protection

The present disclosure relates to methods and compositions for providing at least broad spectrum photo protection to skin, which includes protection from at least infrared (IR) radiation and/or visible light. The methods typically entail applying to skin a cosmetic composition comprising: (a) one or more antioxidants selected from the group consisting of baicalin, Venuceane&#x2122;, ferulic acid, polydatin, silymarin, punica granatum extract, mango leaf extract, soliprin, catechin, hesperetin, astilbin, and DHC V; (b) optionally, one or more solubilizers; and (c) a cosmetically acceptable carrier; wherein the combination of (a), optional (b), and (c) alone, provide at least broad spectrum protection from both infrared (IR) radiation and visible light. UV filters can also optionally be included to provide additional protection from UV light.

Methods and compositions for providing broad spectrum photo protection using antioxidants

A tetrapeptide having antioxidant activity is provided. The tetrapeptide has a structure comprising, in amino acid sequence from N-terminus to C-terminus: tryptophan-X-tyrosine-X; wherein X is arginine, lysine, histidine or any positively-charged amino acid derivative such as 5-hydroxylysine, ornithine, 2,4-diamino-butyrate and 2,3-diamino-propionate. Each amino acid of the sequence or its Homo-amino acid derivative is independently of the D configuration (D-stereoisomer) or of the L configuration (L-stereoisomer), and the C-terminal comprises one selected from the group consisting of carboxyl (&#x2014;COOH), and carboxamide (&#x2014;CONH). A composition stabilized to oxidation or having antioxidant activity and a method for attenuating effects of free radicals on a keratinous material are also provided.

Tetrapeptides and a method of use as an antioxidant

A water releasing composition in the form of an emulsion and process for using the composition are provided. The composition includes an aqueous phase and an oil phase. The aqueous phase includes at least one water-soluble active ingredient at a concentration by weight of from about 0.1% to about 20%, based upon weight of the composition. The oil phase includes dimethicone at a concentration by weight of about 1% to about 25%, and an emulsifying crosslinked siloxane elastomer at a concentration by weight of about 0.1% to about 20%, both based upon weight of the composition. The composition has a phase ratio of the aqueous phase to the oil phase of about 3.0 to about 12.0. The composition converts from an emulsion to a plurality of droplets upon application of shear.

Carrier system for water-soluble active ingredients

Aqueous compositions comprising (a) at least one phenolic compound and (b) at least one hydrotrope in an amount effective to solubilize said at least one phenolic compound in water are provided for cosmetic and other uses.
