Abstract: A vehicle for carrying active ingredients, wherein the vehicle is water-free, emulsifier-free, and preservative free. Preferably, the vehicle is used to carry a skin care formulation for treating skin conditions that provides noticeable results within two weeks or less.

Abstract: There is an anhydrous topical composition which, when spread on a topical surface and then sprayed with water, becomes effervescent and distributes the topical composition evenly over the surface. The composition has: a) a base compound of a carbonate or bicarbonate salt of an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal; b) an acid compound; and c) an anhydrous carrier. The base compound and the acid compound are reactable and are present in amounts sufficient to cause the topical composition in suspension to effervesce when the topical composition is exposed to water. The effervescence acts to evenly distribute squalane over the topical surface upon which the composition was initially applied and provides a cosmetic effect if the topical surface is skin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to skin care formulations including octapeptide complexes. A preferred embodiment of the skin care formulation is a multi-active serum, which treats numerous skin problems associated with environmental exposure and aging. In one aspect, the multi-serum may be formulated for treatment of facial skin, and may optionally be applied as a mask. In another aspect, the multi-active serum may be formulated specifically for the treatment of delicate skin in the under-eye area of the fact. This embodiment of the invention may be applied as an under eye mask. In yet another aspect, the invention provides a method of manufacturing skin care formulations including octapeptide complexes.
