Abstract: Disclosed are dermatological or cosmetic cream, serum and toner compositions and methods thereof for use in promoting healthy skin. A dermatological composition (cream, toner and serum) is applied to the skin to promote optimal health of the skin. The preferred cream composition is comprised of, reduced glutathione and/or cysteinylglycine, ascorbyl glucoside in a dermatologically acceptable carrier containing a salt composition. Preferably, the salt composition contains sodium, magnesium, potassium and calcium. The cream formulations are optionally ionically balanced. Preferably, potassium chloride, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, magnesium sulfate and potassium phosphate are present in sufficient amounts. Toner composition contains sodium, magnesium, potassium and calcium ions and optionally bicarbonate ions and preservative(s). The toner formulations are optionally ionically balanced. The preferred serum composition contains ascorbyl glucoside and/or ascorbic acid in a carrier.

Abstract: Organ and tissue preservation formulations with improved stability shelf life are provided by separating the formulation into a first solution having a pH of at least 7 and a second solution having a pH of less than 7. The first solution includes components with improved stability when stored at a pH of 7 or above, and the second solution includes components with improved stability when stored at a pH below 7. The first solution includes water, a balanced salt solution, a sugar, adenosine, orotic acid, malic acid, L-carnitine, and insulin. The second solution includes water, an antioxidant such as ascorbic acid, a cellular reducing agent such as reduced glutathione, L-citrulline, creatine monohydrate, L-carnosine, and L-arginine. During use, the first and second solutions are mixed to form a formulation final formulation that can be used at a physiological pH to preserve the function of the tissue or organ.
