Abstract: The present disclosure relates to antioxidant compositions comprising a high amount of stabilized neohesperidin dihydrochalcone. The antioxidant compositions may further include additional antioxidants, such as ferulic acid, and tocopherols. The compositions include at least 20 wt. % of one or more water-soluble solvents, such as propanediol, which contribute to the surprising solubility and stability of the compositions. The antioxidant properties of the compositions make them particularly effective for treating and protecting the skin. For example, the compositions are useful for protecting the skin from environmental insult.

Abstract: A skin care composition and a method for treating skin, the method including the step of individually displaying a plurality of visual skin guides to a consumer. Each of the visual skin guides includes a plurality of visual representations of a categorical skin condition. Each of the visual representations correspond to a severity score for the categorical skin condition on the visual skin guide. The method further includes providing a skin care system that includes a base oil composition and one or more booster compositions selected based on the severity score for each of the categorical skin conditions for each of the visual skin guides that represent the customer's current skin condition. The booster compositions and oil base formulations are individually packaged and the booster compositions are readily dispersible in the oil base formulation.

Abstract: An oil base skin care composition including squalane and a method for treating skin are disclosed. The method includes the step of individually displaying a plurality of visual skin guides to a consumer. Each of the visual skin guides includes a plurality of visual representations of a categorical skin condition. Each of the visual representations correspond to a severity score for the categorical skin condition on the visual skin guide. The method further includes correlating the severity score for each of the categorical skin conditions for each of the visual skin guides to the consumer's current skin condition. At least two target skin conditions from the plurality of categorical skin conditions are determined in response to the severity scores for each of the categorical skin conditions. At least one booster containing at least one active ingredient is correlated for treating each target skin condition.

Abstract: A method for providing a customized skin care product to a customer and skin care kit are disclosed. The method includes obtaining information from a customer regarding current skin conditions, analyzing the information to identify a plurality of target skin conditions in response to the current skin conditions, correlating booster compositions to the target skin conditions, the booster compositions including active ingredients corresponding to the target skin conditions, and assembling a skin care kit, the skin care kit including a base oil composition and a plurality of booster compositions having actives corresponding to the target skin conditions. The base oil composition and plurality of boosters are mixable to obtain a treatment composition at any point in time prior to application to skin.
