Abstract: An emulsion having stabilized perfluorocarbon(s) that includes an aqueous solution, an oil solution and a third phase which includes at least one perfluorocarbon and methods of making the stable perfluorocarbon containing emulsions. The aqueous and oil phases are first mixed together to form the emulsion. At least one perfluorocarbon is then added to the emulsion. Either the aqueous based solution or oil based solution may include at least one thickener. Moreover, the perfluorocarbon containing emulsion remains stable for a period of at least two weeks.

Abstract: Compositions for reducing the appearance of wrinkles, reducing the effects of aging and/or improving the appearance of skin. The composition may include at least one fluorinated perfluorocarbon; stem cells from at least one plant species; and at least one peptide complex that reduces release of acetylcholine. Other embodied compositions include at least one collagen stimulating peptide; at least one anti-inflammatory compound; and at least one skin tightening agent.
