  • Patent number: 10533009
    Abstract: A method of stabilizing riboflavin by affixing the riboflavin to at least one substrate for the riboflavin by covalent bonding, hydrogen bonding, Van der Waals forces, or a combination thereof, to form an optically-activated complex, is provided. When activated by absorption of light in the ultraviolet (UV) to visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum the riboflavin in the complex re-emits light of longer wavelength in the blue-green-yellow region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

  • Patent number: 9962565
    Abstract: Optically-activated systems and methods for reducing the appearance of dark under eye circles are provided. The systems comprise a complex of a fluorescent compound and a substrate for the fluorescent compound which are affixed to one another by covalent bonding, hydrogen bonding, Van der Waals forces, or a combination thereof. After absorption of ambient light, the fluorescent compound in the complex re-emits visible light of longer wavelength. The re-emitted light provides an illuminating radiant effect and is particularly useful in improving the appearance of skin imperfections.
