Abstract: The present invention relates to a personal care composition which brightens skin. It more particularly relates to a topical composition which is effective against hyperpigmentation especially in the under-eye region. This is achieved by including in a topical composition. Vitamin K2 and hydroxystearic acid (ISA).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a topical composition that provides energizing glow to skin. It more particularly relates to a personal care composition for topical application that delivers a fresh, young and lively look to skin. This is achieved through a combination of Olivine extract and a vitamin C compound.

Abstract: Topical personal care compositions containing amino acids and 4-substituted resorcinols for potentiating glutathione synthesis within skin cells. The compositions can be used to improve skin appearance of chronological aging or photoaging, resulting from exposure to UV light/sunlight, or environmental pollutants. The compositions are also useful for attaining even skin color and reducing pigmentation, age spots and discoloration.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a topical composition. Particularly, the present invention relates to a topical composition that comprises degallated tea extract that comprises less than 0.2% gallic acid on dry weight basis and provides improved skin lightening.

Abstract: Skin lightening additives and personal care compositions containing amino acids and nicotinamide compounds. The compositions are useful for attaining even skin color and reducing pigmentation, age spots and discoloration.

Abstract: The present invention is in the field of personal care compositions; in particular skin lightening compositions. It is believed that niacinamide reduces the melanosome transfer from melanocytes to keratinocytes thereby bringing about skin lightening. However, niacinamide is known to have little or no effect directly on the melanin content in the melanocytes. Thus a composition with multiple modes of action, that combines the reduction of melanosome transfer and the reduction of melanin content in the melanocytes remains to be desired. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a composition with synergistic amounts of picolinamide and niacinamide, providing improved melanosome transfer inhibition. It has been found that a synergistic skin lightening effect is obtained when niacinamide is combined with its isomer, picolinamide.

Abstract: The invention relates to a skin lightening composition, more particularly a composition which derives synergy between an active of natural origin and an active of synthetic origin. The present inventors have judiciously combined a selective salt of a dicarboxylic acid viz. disodium fumarate along with a specific extract of a plant source e.g. Salvia officinalis rich in certain organic aromatic acids to provide for synergic skin lightening benefits. They have further found that inclusion of certain activity enhancers in the composition of the invention improves the skin lightening efficacy.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for care of skin and scalp. The invention ensures lightening of skin using and provides anti-dandruff benefits to the scalp. This has been possible by way of including Granilin in a composition to be applied topically on these surfaces.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a skin lightening composition and a method of lightening skin. The skin lightening is achieved using siRNA oligonucleotides which are able to achieve this using much lower concentration as compared to known chemical actives.

Abstract: The invention relates to a topical composition that provides enhanced skin health by way of providing anti-aging benefits that are evident from visibly reduced wrinkles and under-eye dark circles. This is achieved through use of a synergistic combination of folic acid and gallated catechin in a specific weight ratio range.
