摘要:
A skin lightening composition for lightening the natural skin color of a user, and for treating disorders of hyperpigmentation. The active ingredient is methyl sulfonyl methane (MSM), a naturally occurring sulfur compound which may be safely administered topically or orally and which is highly effective for decreasing the ratio of dark melanin to light melanin, and thereby lightening the skin color of a user. The skin lightening composition additionally comprises a liquid solution or a cosmetic carrier such as a cream, a lotion, or a gel, for ease of topical application. Additionally, the skin lightening composition is provided in liquid or solid form for oral ingestion. Topical preparations of the skin lightening composition contain MSM in an amount equal to approximately 1 to 20 weight percent MSM relative to the weight of the entire composition. Orally ingestible preparations of the skin lightening composition contain approximately 200 mg to 5000 mg MSM per serving.
摘要:
A method for treating a region of skin. An amount of at least one photolabile compound or a compound converted into a photolabile compound when present in the skin is applied to the region of skin. The photolabile compound generates a biologically active agent when in the skin and the skin exposed to sunlight. The applied compound is allowed to penetrate into the skin; and the region of skin is exposed to sunlight so as to generate the biologically active agent in the skin.

摘要:
A pulverulent composition for bleaching human keratin fibers, such as hair, comprising at least one peroxygenated salt, at least one polymer chosen from nonionic and anionic amphiphilic polymers, wherein the at least one polymer comprises at least one fatty chain; and less than 10% by weight of a fatty acid sugar ester comprising at least one sugar residue and at least one C12-C24 fatty acid residue. The pulverulent composition is capable of being mixed with at least one aqueous hydrogen peroxide composition having a titer of not more than 40 volumes to form stable, homogeneous, bleaching compositions that can be applied precisely and easily, and can produce a homogeneous bleaching of the hair that does not leave the hair coarse.
摘要:
The sensory attributes of cosmetic compositions are very important to form positive consumer's perception of the product. The sensory attributes can vary significantly depending on the formulation employed. In the present invention, a particularly beneficial balance of attributes was attained to create a usable viscoelastric composition that can be poured as a liquid matter, handled as a solid matter and applied to hair as a styling and conditioning product. This composition comprises a unique blend of ingredients in an aqueous medium which achieves the desired results.
