Abstract: Composition and methods for alleviating or eliminating wounds and/burns by providing an effective amount of one or more copper, zinc and copper-zinc compositions are disclosed. Treatment is accomplished through the use of topical compositions containing one or more copper or zinc salts and/or copper-zinc compounds or complexes, particularly copper-zinc malonate active ingredient.

Abstract: Bimetal chelates are prepared from a solution formed by adding to a solvent one or more polyfunctional acids with basic salts of two or more coordination elements listed in Groups IIIA to VIIIA, Groups IB to IIIB, of periods 4 and 5 and aluminum in Group IIIB, period 3 of The Periodic Table of the Elements and recovering the chelate. Such chelates can be used to formulate useful products.

Abstract: Metal complex salts of the coordination elements listed in Groups IIIA to VIIIA, Groups IB to IIIB, of periods 4 and 5 and aluminum in Group IIIB, period 3 of The Periodic Table of the Elements, obtained as the reaction products of polyfunctional acids with two or more of such elements are described. Copper-zinc malonates and a process for their preparation are disclosed.

Abstract: Methods of treating acne include the use of formulations including a benzoyl peroxide solution and an antioxidant.

Abstract: Compositions, kits and regimens for treatment of damaged skin, especially décolletage, include application of a retinoid, hydroquinone or hydroquinone derivatives, and a composition containing a multi-metal complex.

Abstract: Benzoyl peroxide compositions are stabilized against decomposition by the use of antioxidants, resulting in increased shelf life of products made using the compositions. Treatment of truncal acne vulgaris with a combination of actives, namely benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid, is provided via regimens that include applying such benzoyl peroxide compositions to an area of the body afflicted with acne, after a waiting period rinsing the benzoyl peroxide-treated area (e.g., by showering), drying the rinsed area, and then applying a topical, at least partially neutralized salicylic acid composition to the afflicted area.
