Abstract: A system, a kit and methods for delivering an effective amount of a labile active to the skin, comprising a composition comprising an effective amount of a labile active agent incorporated into a water-soluble polymeric film and an additive composition capable of dissolving the water-soluble polymeric film.

Abstract: The invention relates to a delivery system for biologically active oligopeptides. The delivery system comprises an electrochemical cell and a skin-beneficial amount of one or more oligopeptides. In a preferred embodiment the electrochemical cell and the peptide are contained in a dermal patch. The invention also relates to a topically acceptable hydrogel that comprises a hydrophilic polymer, an aqueous or aqueous alcoholic carrier, at least one skin-beneficial oligopeptide, and a salt, wherein at least a portion of the carrier is a structured water.

Abstract: A cosmetic or pharmaceutical emulsion composition that is topically applied to the skin to protect it against damage caused by electromagnetic field generated from everyday appliances such as televisions, computers and cellular phones. The compositions contain ambient electromagnetic wave dampening effective amounts of at least one single domain magnet as the sole magnetic component and a non-magnetic ionic component. The sole magnetic component works particularly well in the composition of the present invention when it comprises granatite and when the composition is an oil in water emulsion.

Abstract: The invention relates to structured water and its antioxidant activity. In addition, the present invention relates to antioxidants incorporated within the cluster structure of either electropositive (S water) or electronegative (I water). The structured water, having the antioxidant within its cluster structure, has a stabilizing effect on the antioxidant. In addition, the antioxidant activity inherent to structured water is enhanced by the presence of the antioxidant within its cluster structure. The present invention also includes methods of removing or reducing free radicals on the skin and thereby preventing the signs of skin aging and the risks of cancer associated with the presence of free radicals in the skin.
