Upon topical application said metal complexes undergo enhanced skin penetration without causing skin irritation.

Abstract: This invention relates to certain skin and hair care agents of formula (I), derived from natural amino acids and peptides. These agents provide multi-functional treatment of enzyme-related topical problems, for example, darkened skin including age spots, circles around eyes and stretch marks; skin conditions related to acne including excess facial oil and facial pore size; premature hair aging including hair loss and graying; inflammation including intra-cellular and extra-cellular inflammation; skin aging including wrinkles and fine lines; loss of collagen including thinning skin and loss of skin pliability; malfunction of tyrosinase group of enzymes; malfunction of matrix metalloprotease group of enzymes; and combinations thereof: Wherein, R, R?, and R?=any substituent(s); and M=H, Li, Na, K, Ca, Mg, Zn, Mn, Cu, Fe, Co, Mo, V, Cr, Ammonium, Alkyl ammonium, and Nitrogen Heterocyclic ammonium.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for topical delivery of trace metals for the modulation of certain metalloenzymes. The method of topical delivery of the present invention comprises; (i) mixing of a trace metal salt of a phosphorylated nitrogen heterocyclic base complexed with a chelating agent [Figure l], and (ii) a carrier, and (iii) topical application of said mixture. The modulation of metalloenzymes such as Superoxide Dismutase, Elastase, Tyrosinase, Matrix metalloproteases, and Ubiquitin-Proteasome pathway by the methods of the present invention is useful for providing anti-inflammatory, skin whitening, wrinkles reduction, skin aging control, cellular antioxidant, acne control, hair growth modulation, and skin damage control benefits.

Abstract: The present invention discloses certain di- and polyvalent metal zeolite compounds (formula I) for topical delivery of biological and skin and hair care agents. The method of treating skin and hair condition via topical application of said zeolite compounds is also disclosed.

Abstract: Cosmetic hair removal (depilatory) compositions that provide complete hair removal in a single step and easy clean-up with water are disclosed. These viscous compositions are made of a mixture of a water soluble hair binding agent, a water soluble cross-linking agent for the hair binding agent, and a water soluble crystallization inhibitor agent, whereby the cross-linking of the hair binding agent by the cross-linking agent results in water washable hair binding compositions that do not crystallize during their use or storage.
