Abstract: Described herein are novel methods for the treatment of rosacea which include the step of applying of a composition containing a polymetal complex to an area of the skin afflicted with rosacea and novel regimens using such compounds.

Abstract: Provided is an improved method of removing lint in clothes dryers utilizing a lint capturing sheet in the lint screen. Also provided is a method of utilizing the lint capturing sheet to clean other internal surfaces of the dryer. The lint capturing sheet includes a non-woven fabric saturated in an aqueous solution of from 90 to 99.999 vol. % water and from 0.001 to 10 vol. % of water soluble ingredients that increase the electrical conductivity of the water. The non-woven fabric is negative on the Triboelectric series and the weight ratio of non-woven fabric to the aqueous solution in the lint capturing sheet ranges from 1:1 to 1:30. Also provided are methods of making the lint capturing sheet and devices including the lint capturing sheet for wiping difficult to clean internal areas of the dryer.

Abstract: Compositions, kits and regimens for treatment of damaged skin, especially décolletage, include application of a retinoid, hydroquinone or hydroquinone derivatives, and a composition containing a multi-metal complex.

Abstract: Methods of screening antioxidants for skin protective capacity and antioxidant formulations which protect the skin from UV radiation are disclosed, including using the Briggs-Rauscher Oxidant Method method to one or more antioxidants for predicting protection to the epidermal layer. One antioxidant formulation for use in sunscreens, lip-balms and other types of skincare products for protecting the skin from UV radiation includes a mixture of antioxidants in the skincare product including an effective amount of arbutin in combination with BHT, wherein the ratio of arbutin to BHT ranges from 1:4 to 4:1, and wherein the measured BROM value of the antioxidant mixture is greater than the sum of the BROM values of the individual antioxidants in the mixture at the same concentration. The measured BROM value of the resultant product is greater than or equal to 0.2 sec/?g. The antioxidant formulation may also optionally include hydroquinone, resveratrol, uric acid and/or atorvastatin.

Abstract: Regimen for the treatment of rosacea include the application of an anti-redness composition to at least a portion of the cleansed area of skin afflicted with rosacea. The regimen may include the application of one or more of a polymetal complex, a composition containing metronidazole, and/or a protective composition. Kits containing components useful in performing such regimens are also described.

Abstract: Compositions containing polymetal complexes useful in treating anorectal disorders.

Abstract: Provided are dental cleaning compositions, methods of using and methods of using such compositions which minimize gum damage in the oral cavity. In one form, the dental cleaning composition includes a substantially stoichiometric ratio of one or more oxidizing agents to one or more reducing agents in one or more one or more orally acceptable carriers; where the substantially stoichiometric ratio of one or more oxidizing agents to one or more reducing agents is sufficient to neutralize the oxidizing agent in a subject oral cavity; and where the one or more oxidizing agents and one or more reducing agents are either co-dispensed or sequentially dispensed in the subject oral cavity.

Abstract: Bimetal chelates are prepared from a solution formed by adding to a solvent one or more polyfunctional acids with basic salts of two or more coordination elements listed in Groups IIIA to VIIIA, Groups IB to IIIB, of periods 4 and 5 and aluminum in Group IIIB, period 3 of The Periodic Table of the Elements and recovering the chelate. Such chelates can be used to formulate useful products.

Abstract: Methods of forming bimetal complexes including reacting polyfunctional compounds with two or more coordination elements and recovering a bimetal complex.

Abstract: Composition and methods for alleviating or eliminating age related skin conditions by providing an effective amount of one or more copper, zinc and copper-zinc compositions are disclosed. Treatment is accomplished through the use of topical compositions containing one or more copper or zinc salts and/or copper-zinc compounds or complexes, particularly copper-zinc malonate active ingredient.
