Abstract: Cosmetic compositions comprising high amount of Silybum Marianum Extract, relatively high amounts of skin active ingredients chosen from salicylic acid, ascorbic acid, a cinnamic acid derivative, or a mixture thereof; c) one or more surfactants; d) from about 3 to about 15 wt. % of Propylene Glycol; e) from about 5 to about 18 wt. % of Dipropylene Glycol; and f) water; and wherein the composition has a pH not higher than about 5.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to stable cosmetic compositions that include high levels of free glycolic acid. The cosmetic compositions typically include: glycolic acid and/or a salt thereof; at least one non-silicone fatty compound; at least one emulsifier; at least one water-soluble solvent; at least one silicone; and water. The cosmetic compositions are in the form of an emulsion, in particular, a water-in-oil emulsion, and typically have a low pH of below 7. Also, the cosmetic compositions have high amount of free glycolic acid, for example, at least 6 wt. % of free glycolic acid, based on the total weight of the cosmetic composition. The cosmetic compositions are particularly useful for improving the appearance of skin. Accordingly, the instant disclosure relates to methods of treating skin, for example, improving the appearance of skin using the cosmetic compositions.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to stable cosmetic compositions for delivering high amounts of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and ceramides to the skin, products containing such cosmetic compositions, and methods for treating skin using the cosmetic compositions. The cosmetic compositions include ascorbic acid, one or more ceramides, panthenol, one or more monoalcohols having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms, one or more polyols, one or more fatty compounds, one or more emulsifiers, one or more cationic surfactants, and water. The cosmetic compositions are particularly useful for treating the effects of skin aging, for example, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and improving skin tone.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to bi-phase micellar liquid products that include ceramides and other components that are beneficial to the skin. In particular, the products include: (a) a fatty phase comprising one or more fatty compounds and one or more silicones; and (b) an aqueous phase comprising one or more ceramides, one or more water-soluble solvents, one or more surfactants, and water. The products are particularly unique because the ceramides are solubilized in the aqueous phase of the products. In addition to being useful for cleansing the skin, the products support natural lipid barrier function of the skin and improve skin hydration.
