  • Publication number: 20230248633
    Abstract: The present invention provides novel methods for repairing or reducing skin changes as well as systems, regimens, and cosmetic compositions thereof. The invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising electrospun polymer fibers, at least one active ingredient, and at least one cosmetically acceptable carrier is provided, wherein the electrospun fibers are dispersed in the composition. The composition is in form of a solution, suspension, lotion, cream, gel, emulsion, toner, ointment, paste, foam, hydrogel, film-forming product, or facial skin mask. The composition comprises at least one active ingredient and further comprises antioxidants, moisturizers, surfactants, or humectants.

  • Patent number: 10660419
    Abstract: A packaged skin treatment composition comprising: (a) a receptacle with a neck and having stored therein a treatment composition containing microscopic three dimensional spherical structures having membranous outer walls and secluded internal spaces, (b) a wiper affixed within the neck and having an internal barrel portion, (c) a closure for the receptacle, (d) an applicator comprised of a rod with a proximal end affixed to the closure and a distal end terminating in an enlarged portion, wherein when the rod is extracted from the receptacle the treatment composition loads onto the applicator in an amount sufficient to permit application of the treatment composition containing the microscopic spherical structures to the treatment surface.
