Abstract: Healthy glow is characterized by radiant skin, brighter, lighter, even skin tone and clear skin without blemishes. Skin pigmentation is a process known as melanogenesis involving production, transportation, and distribution of melanin from the epidermis's inner layer to the skin's surface. There are multiple biological processes and underlying gene pathways that impact overall melanogenesis. Disclosed is a composition and methods for a combination of Vitamin B3 and Pea and Quinoa peptides obtained from hydrolyzed proteins. This composition was found to offer a holistic approach to the skin glow through multi targeted action controlling key biological pathways. Vitamin B3, Pea peptides, and Quinoa peptides were found to deliver a synergistic effect for desired skin glow, radiance, even skin tone, uniformity, homogeneity, smoothing skin texture, reducing dark spots/hyperpigmentation and improve skin appearance without any reported side effects as compared to formulations without the composition.

Abstract: Topical compositions for delivering a desirable color are described. The color suitable to be delivered is stable and the result of colorants comprising an antioxidant like lycopene and a second colorant which is a dye or pigment. The topical compositions are stable notwithstanding the fact that they are free of formaldehyde generating preservatives.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition is provided comprising vitamin B6, vitamin B3 and an organic acid. The components of the composition interact synergistically to enhance skin lightening.

Abstract: A high skin friction cosmetic composition that can provide the consumer-desired sensory properties of traditional vanishing creams, stable at low pH, containing solid asymmetric particles and an anionic emulsifier having pKa values of less than about 4.5. The composition preferably further includes an acidic skin benefit agent. A method of controlling or preventing an oily skin appearance and/or feel especially in the facial area, by applying to the skin the inventive composition is also disclosed.
