Atomic scale topical composition with enhanced interstitial cellular uptake for increased moisturizing, fluidity, antioxidant and radiation protection, antimicrobial cleansing and therapeutics for optimal dermal integrity and homeostasis

Abstract

This invention proposes a multifunctional topical composition that integrates halogen-functionalized fullerenes and metallic nanoparticles (NPs) to provide comprehensive skin protection and sanitizing, cosmetic enhancement, and in some embodiments, treatment for various conditions. Leveraging the atomic scale and physical characteristics of halogenated fullerenes for deeper tissue dispersion, the composition can provide antioxidant, antimicrobial, and UV protective benefits to foster cellular integrity, proliferation, and differentiation as healthy tissue. The proposed formulation can deliver active ingredients through the pores of sweat glands; the lipid matrix of the stratum corneum; and hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and pilosebaceous pores to then penetrate underlying dermal layers. This composition also uses stable, inorganic antibacterial agents with a robust safety profile. The invention is thus comprised of active ingredients that are specific, safe, stable and effective—and can be produced economically for a broad range of skin protection, sanitizing, enhancement and therapeutic products.
