A method for managing a skin care system. The skin care system includes circuitry to receive skin information from a user. The circuitry determines treatable skin conditions based on the skin information. The skin care system generates severity information and cosmetic formulation compatibility information based on the treatable skin conditions. The skin care system is further able to virtually display user-specific compatible cosmetic formulations based on at least one parameter associated with the severity information and cosmetic formulation compatibility.

A therapeutic serum suitable for inclusion in a cosmetic preparation may be produced by stressing a co-culture including proliferative cells. The co-culture of cells may be obtained by growing first culture to less than one-hundred percent confluence on a surface. After a monolayer of first culture is established, a second culture may be seeded onto at least one cell free area on the surface, the resulting co-culture grown to less than one-hundred percent confluence. Additional cultures may then be seeded onto cell free areas of the surface and established until a monolayer having the desired population of cells is obtained. The monolayer is then stressed to obtain a serum by conditioning a collection medium. The obtained serum may be combined with a suitable cosmetic base to provide a cosmetic preparation.

A cosmetic concentrate base composition and cosmetic compositions for use as creams or lotions utilizing the same, the cosmetic concentrate base composition including approximately 20% to 25% by weight of a first component, the first component being a phospholipid component; approximately 10% to 40% by weight of a second component, the second component being a lipid component; and approximately 4% to 5% by weight of a third component, the third component being a hydrophilic component.

The present invention relates to a combination of ingredients wherein it is possible to provide a solution or composition that provides all the advantages of skin cleansing, skin moisturizing, skin repair and skin protection. The present invention relates to facial and/or body wipe that incorporates a combination of ingredients such that a single wipe provides for all of skin cleansing, skin moisturizing, skin repair and skin protection. The present invention relates to an improved facial and/or body wipe that provides for improved advantages with respect to all of skin cleansing, skin moisturizing, skin repair and skin protection.

Mineral-based composition and methods of use thereof in preventing skin damages, such as in subjects exposed to radiation, are provided.

Disclosed are stable, non-irritating, retinoid containing formulations and delivery systems for topical application to the skin. The disclosed topical formulations and delivery systems provide controlled release of the retinoid to the skin for the treatment of amenable skin conditions as well as for improvement of aesthetic skin properties. Also provided are methods for the formulation, manufacture and use of the disclosed retinoid containing formulations and delivery systems.

A skincare rejuvenation composition, adapted at least for tactile use, consists essentially of a skincare rejuvenation ingredient, a skin exfoliation ingredient, an acidity balancing ingredient, a sunscreen composition and an emulsifier. The skincare rejuvenation ingredient has a first weight percentage, the skin exfoliation ingredient has a second weight percentage, and the acidity balancing ingredient has a third weight percentage, whereby each of the first weight percentage, the second weight percentage, and the third weight percentage are substantially equal. As an example, the skincare rejuvenation ingredient may be retinol, the skin exfoliation ingredient may be glycolic acid, and the acidity balancing ingredient may be hyaluronic acid.

A nail coating remover cream mask comprises a film forming agent from about 5% to about 70% by weight, relative to the total weight of the nail coating remover cream mask, water from about 2% to about 45% by weight, relative to the total weight of the nail coating remover cream mask, a first solvent from about 2% to about 45% by weight, relative to the total weight of the nail coating remover cream mask, a second solvent from about 2% to about 80% by weight, relative to the total weight of the nail coating remover cream mask, a third solvent from about 2% to about 80% by weight, relative to the total weight of the nail coating remover cream mask, and a moisture agent from about 0.1% to about 5% by weight, relative to the total weight of the nail coating remover cream mask, and a method to use the nail coating remover cream mask to remove nail coating.

A skin care formulation includes azelaic acid. The skin care formulation also includes a first booster composition including at least one first active booster ingredient. The skin care formulation further includes a second booster composition including at least one second active booster ingredient. The skin care formulation is a water-based emulsion that is stable for at least 3 months. A method of forming a skin care formulation includes combining an anti-acne booster composition, a first booster composition, a second booster composition, and an aqueous base composition to form the skin care formulation. The anti-acne booster composition includes azelaic acid.

A self-emulsifying bioactive concentrate produced by a process comprising the steps of (a) creating a lysophospholipid concentrate comprised of a de-oiled lecithin source and 0.1% to 10% of an enzyme with having phospholipase A activity, wherein the lysophospholipid concentrate contains greater than 20% lysophosphatidyl-choline; and (b) combining the lysophospholipid concentrate from step (a) with a retinyl ester formed by the reaction of retinol and one or a mixture of unsaturated fatty acid(s).
