Abstract: Compositions for suppressing sebum production in skin (e.g., seborrheic skin), and minimizing glycation in skin (e.g., mature skin) with enhanced UV absorptive properties are described. In particular, the present invention relates to a composition containing a skin benefit agent that includes Lithospermum erythrorhizon. Also, methods of suppressing sebum production in skin (e.g., seborrheic skin) and minimizing glycation in skin (e.g., mature skin) by applying a composition to the skin, wherein the composition comprises an effective amount of a derivative of Lithospermum erythrorhizon are also described.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for producing and using stable transparent to translucent unilamellar liposomal suspensions are described. The suspensions include a liposome preparation having a uniform plurality of unilamellar liposomal particles with a mean particle size between about 50 nm to about 290 nm. The particles are suspended in an external phase composition that has a density between about 0.95 g/cc and about 1.25 g/cc, and that is present in an amount between about 30% to about 75% of the weight of the liposomal suspension. The liposome preparation is formed from an aqueous liposomal solution that includes an oil-soluble composition and a water-soluble composition. The oil-soluble composition is present at a concentration between about 5% to about 33% by weight of the liposomal solution and the water-soluble composition is present at a concentration between about 67% to about 95% by weight of the liposomal solution.
