Compositions and methods for cleansing the eyelid and treating an ocular condition are disclosed herein. A method for treating an ocular condition involves cleansing an eyelid with a first ophthalmic composition, wherein the first ophthalmic composition consists essentially of water, PEG-80 sorbitan laurate, methyl gluceth-20, PEG-120 methyl glucose dioleate, salicyloyl phytosphingosine, decyl glucoside, 1,2 hexanediol, caprylyl glycol, disodium cocoamphodiacetate, panthenol, polyaminopropyl biguanide, sodium chloride, potassium chloride and calcium chloride followed by applying a therapeutically effective amount of a second ophthalmic composition to a margin of the eyelid, wherein the second ophthalmic composition consists essentially of water and hypochlorous acid.

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).

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) baicalin; (b) one or more antioxidants selected from the group consisting of venuceane, polydatin, hesperetin, mango leaf extract, vitamin C; (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.

The application discloses a cosmetic agent for treating a keratinous material comprising a) at least one organic silicon compound containing one to three silicon atoms, and b) rutin sulfate.

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™, 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.

The present invention relates to a personal care composition for topical application having skin lightening application. It is an object of the present invention to provide for a personal care composition that comprises fractions obtained from natural sources that gives enhanced skin lightening as compared to known fractions from natural sources.

Personal care compositions that apply as a cream and quickly dry to a powdery feel. The compositions comprise a natural starch component (e.g., corn starch), water, one or more emulsifiers, and one or more emollients. The starch, emulsifiers, and emollients are naturally derived, naturally processed, or both. The composition advantageously does not require the addition of synthetic gelling agents or other suspension aids to maintain the starch component in suspension, even with relatively low water concentrations and relatively high starch concentrations. In an embodiment, the emollients include esters of fatty acids and fatty alcohols, as well as a tertiary branched ester (a triester). The emulsifiers may include a sugar ester, alkylaryl glucoside, alkyl aryl alcohol, and straight chain fatty alcohol. An ester of a polyglycerin and a fatty acid (e.g., polyglyceryl-4 caprate) stabilizer has surprisingly been found to provide high temperature phase stability to the composition.

The present invention provides compositions, methods and kits for treating skin, which combine administration of glucosamine hydrochloride and red light having a peak wavelength of about 600 nm to about 750 nm, near infrared light having a peak wavelength of about 750 nm to about 1000 nm, or both.
