Abstract: Novel isohexide esters and isohexide compositions are prepared and used in improving skin health and condition.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the hair care treatment compositions, including pre- and post-treatment compositions, containing select aryl alkanone compounds as quenching and/or chelating agents.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for effecting skin lightening and/or even toning involving the use of select aryl alkanones.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods for treating and/or preventing chronic- or UV-induced photodamage in the skin as well as damage to the skin caused by chronological aging and disease. Specifically, select aryl alkanones have been found to induce/produce a number of beneficial effects in the skin and skin processes by elevating the skin's defense against UV-induced damage and reversing skin photo- and/or chronological damage in the extracellular matrix (ECM) and dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ), up-regulating tissue inhibitory metalloproteases, reducing oxidative stress, inhibiting activity of matrix metalloproteases, and protecting DNA.

Abstract: Sunscreen compositions are provided for protecting skin from sun-induced damage comprising (i) at least one UV-B and/or UV-A/UV-B sunblock active, (ii) at least one meroterpene and (iii) a dermatological acceptable carrier wherein the meroterpene is free or substantially free of psoralens and has a purity of at least 90% w/w. Preferably, the sunblock active will be a UV-A/UV-B sunblock active. These skin protective compositions may optionally include an effective amount of one or more skin protective ingredients such as antioxidants, vitamins, anti-inflammatory agents, self-tanning agents and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: Skin conditioning compositions comprising a C4 to C30 monoalkyl-, dialkyl, monoalkanoyl- or dialkanoyl-substituted isohexide are found to exhibit a marked effect on skin hydration and barrier function homeostasis thereby improving skin appearances.
