Abstract: Resveratrol ferulate compounds and compositions.

Abstract: The present invention provides topical compositions containing phosphorylated polyphenols in combination with a topically acceptable carrier. The compositions of the invention provide a means for delayed delivery of the polyphenol to keratinous tissues, such as skin, hair and nails, with enzymes of the keratinous tissue dephosphorylating the polyphenol, and returning it to its native active form. The compositions are particularly useful in the regulation of skin conditions. the phosphorylated stilbene is a phosphorylated resveratrol or a phosphorylated resveratrol derivative.

Abstract: A composition containing at least one alpha glucosidase inhibitor, and a method for ameliorating the adverse effects of aging and sun damage on keratinous surfaces such as skin by treating with a composition containing at least one alpha glucosidase inhibitor; as well as regimens and kits for treating skin.

Abstract: An emulsion cosmetic composition comprising at least one resveratrol derivative, an aqueous phase, and an oil phase, having at least one silicone surfactant, and a method for preparing emulsions capable of delivering active resveratrol to the skin.

Abstract: An emulsion cosmetic composition comprising at least one resveratrol derivative, a water phase, and an oil phase containing at least one linear or branched volatile or near volatile silicone and a method for delivering active resveratrol to the skin.

Abstract: An emulsion cosmetic composition comprising at least one resveratrol derivative, an aqueous phase, and an oil phase having at and at least one oil phase structuring agent, and a method for preparing emulsions capable of delivering active resveratrol to the skin.

Abstract: An anhydrous color cosmetic composition comprising at least one resveratrol derivative and particulates; and an anhydrous emulsion skin care composition.

Abstract: An anti-aging composition comprising a skin-beneficial amount of actives identified in Menyanthes trifoliata leaf, wherein the actives are inhibitors of one or more of MMP-1, 2 and 9 and/or scavengers of peroxynitrite. Also disclosed are methods of using such a composition, which include treating the skin for signs of chronological or pre-mature aging.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cosmetic or pharmaceutical formulations for topical application which comprises an anti-inflammatory effective amount of 3-furan carboxylic acid. The formulation also optionally comprises an anti-irritant effective amount of frulic acid and an antimicrobial effective 2-furan carboxylic acid.

Abstract: The invention relates to topical cosmetic and pharmaceutical composition for enhancing collagen levels in skin cells, the compositions comprising an effective amount of a biologically active phenolic compound-containing extract, or active fraction thereof, obtainable from Mimosa pudica.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cosmetic or pharmaceutical formulations for topical application which comprises an antimicrobial effective amount of 3-furan carboxylic acid. The formulation also optionally comprises an anti-irritant effective amount of ferulic acid and an antimicrobial effective amount of 2-furan carboxylic acid.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions for topical application to the skin, the compositions comprising effective amounts of at least one of each of the antioxidants selected from the group consisting of (a) tocopherol and derivatives thereof, (b) ascorbic acid and derivatives thereof,(c) a butylated phenol, (d)N-acetyl cysteine, (e)a rosemary extract, and (f)ubiquinone and derivatives thereof. The compositions are useful in treating and preventing the symptoms of photoaging.
