20090270788 | MICROCURRENT-GENERATING TOPICAL OR COSMETIC SYSTEMS, AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING THE SAME - The present invention relates to a topical or cosmetic system that includes a first element capable of acting as an electron donor and a second element capable of acting as an electron acceptor. Such first and second elements are spaced apart by a predetermined distance across a skin surface. The system also includes a third element extending over the predetermined distance across the skin surface, while the third element contains an electrically conductive medium for electrically connecting the first and second elements, thereby generating an electrical current that flows across the skin surface from the first element through the conductive medium to the second element in the absence of any power source. The present invention also relates to methods of using the above-described system for preventing or treating skin damage. | 10-29-2009 |
20100145255 | System And Method For Reducing The Appearance Of Fine Lines And Wrinkles And Improving the Skin Tone - The present invention provides a system for rejuvenating the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improving the skin tone, which includes both a topical composition and a phototherapy device. Specifically, the topical composition contains one or more skin rejuvenating agents selected from the group consisting of creatine, adenosine phosphate, acetyl carnitine, acetyl hexapeptide, and combinations thereof in a pharmaceutically or cosmetically acceptable carrier. The phototherapy device contains one or more light emitting diodes (LEDs) for emitting electromagnetic radiation effective for energizing the skin cells and enhancing skin absorption of the skin rejuvenating agents. More particularly, the topical composition is capable of transmitting at least 80% of the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the phototherapy device to the skin. | 06-10-2010 |
20110123579 | Cosmetic Composition For Diminishing The Appearance Of Lines And Pores - Silicone-in-water emulsions and methods for reducing the appearance of lines, wrinkles and the size of pores in the skin are provided. The emulsions comprise at least one silicone, comprising at least one silicone elastomer, a silica, a film forming cosmetic patch component, and water. | 05-26-2011 |
20110212045 | Cosmetic Compositions Containing An Ion Exchange Polymer, And Methods of Using The Same - Topical compositions for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the skin contain one or more ion exchange polymers, in a cosmetically or pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. | 09-01-2011 |
20110229430 | Cosmetic Compositions Containing Thiomers For Hair Color Retention - Cosmetic hair treatment compositions comprising thiolated polymers having in the range of from about 5% to about 50% reactive thiol groups are provided. Also provided is a method for extending the color retention of color-treated hair. | 09-22-2011 |
20120111351 | Compositions And Methods For Protecting Hair From Thermal Damage - A hair strengthening topical composition comprising materials that emit electromagnetic radiation at wavelengths that affect tertiary structure (breaking of disulfide) bonds in human hair, and that bring about changes in secondary structure of hair proteins. The intensity of the radiation is controlled and sufficient to cause or facilitate altering of protein structure. The invention includes methods of using such topical compositions. Testing indicates that the hair denaturation thermal energy is increased, and there is no damage to hair of the type characteristic of heat and chemical treatments. | 05-10-2012 |
20120125358 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR PERMANENT SHAPING OF HAIR - A hair shaping topical composition comprising materials that emit electromagnetic radiation at wavelengths that affect tertiary structure (breaking of disulfide) bonds in human hair, and that bring about changes in secondary structure of hair proteins. The intensity of the radiation is controlled and sufficient to cause or facilitate altering of protein structure. The invention includes methods of using such topical compositions. Testing indicates that the hair reshaping is permanent and there is no damage to hair of the type characteristic of chemical treatments. | 05-24-2012 |
20120186596 | Compositions And Methods For Permanent Straightening Of Hair - A hair straightening topical composition comprising transglutaminase and polylysine, which act to form a surface barrier film and moisture shield around human hair. The transglutaminase also contributes to hair straightening. The composition also comprises one or more additional hair straightening agents, other than TGase, that are capable of affecting secondary, tertiary and quaternary protein structures of human hair, preferably sodium metabisulfite and/or tourmaline. The invention includes compositions that may be washed out of the hair after straightening has occurred, and compositions that are intended to remain in the hair for additional or extended benefits. The invention includes methods of using a topical composition that is capable of affecting secondary, tertiary and quaternary protein structures of human hair. Testing indicates that the hair straightening is long term, occurs significantly faster than known commercial hair straightening compositions, and there is significantly less damage to hair compared to known heat and chemical treatments. | 07-26-2012 |
20120186597 | Compositions And Methods For Permanent Straightening Of Hair - Improved hair straightening topical compositions comprising transglutaminase, sodium metabisulfite, and a system for stabilizing the pH of the composition, and for inhibiting the generation of sulfur dioxide. Optionally, one or more additional hair straightening agents, that are capable of affecting secondary, tertiary and quaternary protein structures of human hair may be included. Optionally, polylysine may be included which, in combination with TGase, acts to form a surface barrier film and moisture shield around human hair. The invention includes methods of using such topical compositions. | 07-26-2012 |
20140352712 | Compositions And Methods For Permanent Shaping Of Hair - A hair shaping topical composition comprising materials that emit electromagnetic radiation at wavelengths that affect tertiary structure (breaking of disulfide) bonds in human hair, and that bring about changes in secondary structure of hair proteins. The intensity of the radiation is controlled and sufficient to cause or facilitate altering of protein structure. The invention includes methods of using such topical compositions. Testing indicates that the hair reshaping is permanent and there is no damage to hair of the type characteristic of chemical treatments. | 12-04-2014 |
