Abstract: A cell migration agent promotes the healing of wounds by promoting movement of fibroblast cells away from the periphery of the wound. The agents can include Indole-3-Acetic acid and its derivatives such as Indole-3-Acetyl-L-Phenylalanine. Significant increases in the migration of fibroblast cells were observed at five days after treatment initiation. When administered in a dosage of between 0.1 and 250 ppm, these compounds appear to have the ability to move healthy human fibroblast cells into areas void of cells more rapidly than if the agent were not present. This results in the plumping of the skin or healing of wounds. The compounds can be delivered by topical or internal methods of application.

Abstract: A skin blemish treatment combines a base with therapeutically effective amounts of carbamide peroxide and alpha-hydroxy acid ("AHA"). The resulting formulation effectively treats human acne vulgaris while exhibiting none of the severe adverse side effects associated with benzoyl peroxide. The AHA can be any synthetic or naturally occurring alpha-hydroxy acid. Salicylic acid can augment the composition, as can an anti-inflammatory such as allantoin. Fragrance, coloring agents, and preservatives can also be added.

Abstract: A compacted baby powder formulation combines an absorbent with a dry compression agent and a liquid or semi-solid material. The resulting formulation reduces the amount of dispersion of the powdered absorbent. The absorbent can be either an organic or non-organic such as corn starch or talc, respectively. The compression agent can be a microcrystalline cellulose or polyethylene. The liquid or semi-solid can be a ester such as a jojoba ester. The formulation can be augmented with additional additives to provide skin protectant, lubricant or anti-septic benefits.
