Liposomal and/or nano-liposomal encapsulated HSP90a, HPf polypeptide (115 aa) and novel polypeptides HPf C1 (101 aa) and HPfC2 (87 aa), as well as methods for manufacturing/preparing and using the compositions, are disclosed. Chimeric fusion proteins that include an HSP90a, HPf-polypeptide, HPf C1 or HPfC2 polypeptide are presented. Transformed cell lines and expression vectors capable of expressing the chimeric fusion proteins, are provided. Methods for producing large amounts of recombinant HSP90a, HPf polypeptide, HPf C1 or HPfC2 polypeptide, using expression vectors and transformed cell lines, are described. Topical and other delivery form preparations and methods for using the preparations, including methods for improving skin conditions (atopic dermatitis, wrinkles, skin elasticity, dark spots (over pigmentation), overall skin rejuvenation, skin ageing) for therapeutic and cosmeceutical uses are presented. Liposomal preparations and methods for using them for enhancing wound healing and methods for suppressing subcutaneous fat cell differentiation and reducing subcutaneous fat formation are disclosed.

A formulation for a stable ascorbic acid composition which, in a simplified form, is comprised of ascorbic acid in solution with a hygroscopic compound (i.e., a substance with the ability to attract water molecules from the surrounding environment through either absorption or adsorption). Also disclosed herein are methods for the production of such compounds and methods of using such compounds in the prevention, inhibition and treatment of striae gravidarum, radiation dermatitis, rhytids, lentigoes, dyschromia, sun-damage induced hyperpigmentation, cellulite, scars and purpura, among other skin diseases or conditions.
