Abstract: There are disclosed skin treatment compositions containing cell signaling compounds, which induce and promote the biosynthesis and/or bioactivity of endogenous chemicals that mediate cell to cell communication in the skin between keratinocytes, fibroblasts and other cell types present in the skin. The cell signaling compound is selected from the group consisting of: andrographolide and its derivatives; adenosine cyclic phosphate and its derivatives; hydrolyzed milk proteins; sunflower seed extract; plankton extract; phytol and its derivatives; and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: Topical compositions and methods of use to treat symptoms of reduced skin elasticity are provided comprising desthiobiotin and certain desthiobiotin analogues. These compounds are effective in stimulating LOXL-1 activity and can thus increase elastin remodeling and improve appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, skin sagging and other symptoms of reduced elastin function.

Abstract: Cosmetic compositions comprising non-natural, non-proteogenic amino acids and methods of using such compositions to impart antiaging benefits to the skin are disclosed. The non-natural, non-proteogenic amino acids are believed to have modulatory activity against one or more biochemical pathways implicated in skin aging, and in particular, are enhancers of LOXL-1.

Abstract: Cosmetic compositions comprising 1-aroyl-N-(2-oxo-3-piperidinyl)-2-piperazine carboxamides and methods of using such compositions to impart anti-aging benefits to the skin are disclosed. The 1-aroyl-N-(2-oxo-3-piperidinyl)-2-piperazine carboxamides are believed to have modulatory activity against one or more biochemical pathways implicated in skin aging.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for treating, preventing and improving the condition and aesthetic appearance of skin, particularly, treating, preventing, ameliorating, reducing and/or eliminating fine lines and/or wrinkles of skin, where the compositions include natural plant constituents which increase expression levels genes, collagen replacement and retention, and cell proliferation of epidermis and dermis associated with the dermatological signs of aging. The compositions of the invention are topically applied to the skin, or are delivered by directed means to a site in need thereof, once daily in an amount effective in improving the condition and aesthetic appearance of skin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods for treating, preventing and improving the condition and aesthetic appearance of skin, particularly, treating, preventing, ameliorating, reducing and/or eliminating fine lines and/or wrinkles of skin, where the compositions include natural plant constituents, or synthetic equivalents thereof, which inhibit or decrease expression of C-reactive protein expression, production or secretion, thereby reducing, inhibiting, or ameliorating dermatological signs of aging. The compositions of the invention may be topically applied to the skin, or are delivered by directed means to a site in need thereof, in an amount effective in improving the condition and aesthetic appearance of skin.

Abstract: Cosmetic compositions comprising an extract of Melicope hayesii and methods of using such compositions to impart anti-aging benefits to the skin are disclosed. These compositions are believed to have modulatory activity against at least one biochemical pathway implicated in skin aging.
