Abstract: The invention relates to a skin lightening composition, more particularly a composition which derives synergy between an active of natural origin and an active of synthetic origin. The present inventors have judiciously combined a selective salt of a dicarboxylic acid viz. disodium fumarate along with a specific extract of a plant source e.g. Salvia officinalis rich in certain organic aromatic acids to provide for synergic skin lightening benefits. They have further found that inclusion of certain activity enhancers in the composition of the invention improves the skin lightening efficacy.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a skin lightening composition and a method of lightening skin. The skin lightening is achieved using siRNA oligonucleotides which are able to achieve this using much lower concentration as compared to known chemical actives.

Abstract: The invention relates to a skin lightening composition; especially to a cream that provides faster kinetics of skin lightening as compared to conventional compositions. The present inventors have found that inclusion of a very selective salt of a dicarboxylic acid viz. disodium fumarate in such a cream base along with selective non-ionic surfactants provides for desired fast skin lightening kinetics without compromising on the desired sensorials afforded by vanishing cream bases.

Abstract: The invention relates to a topical composition and a method for reducing or preventing occurrence of acne on the skin. It is an object of the present invention to provide for a combination of herbal extracts that interact synergistically to provide a cosmetic composition for prevention, reduction or treatment of acne. The present invention provides for a topical composition comprising (i) an extract of a first active which is Azhadirachta indica; and (ii) an extract of a second active selected from Momordica charantia or Sesamum indicum.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition for skin lightening. An object of the present invention is to provide a cosmetic composition for skin lightening that is relatively more efficacious, has relatively better spreading characteristics and acceptable sensory feel. In the present invention, it is found that certain specific salts of acetic acid viz. the potassium and magnesium salts provide enhanced efficacy in skin lightening as compared to other salts of low molecular weight carboxylic acid when incorporated in a cosmetic composition at a certain range.
