Abstract: A composition for the treatment of acne includes hydrolyzed psoralea corylifolia, containing a component bakuchiol, is solubilized in a water-based solution. The composition is for topical application to the skin. In various implementations, the composition is a water-based acne gel or a water-based cleanser. In a specific implementation, a composition includes Bakutrol™, which includes bakuchiol, and bisabolol. The composition can include a polysorbate surfactant. In implementations, these ingredients are combined with other active ingredients, including for example, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, tretinoin, retinol, tazarotene, or an antibiotic, or a combination of these. A process of preparation of the composition allows for the stabilization of Bakutrol in solution.

Abstract: A highly photostable, broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen composition having an SPF of greater than 50 that retains about 90% of its UV absorbance over the range of 290 nm to 400 nm after being irradiated with 15 MEDs of energy from a simulated solar radiation source calibrated in accordance with the COLIPA standard. The highly photostable sunscreen composition is comprised of at least one dibenzoylmethane derivative, preferably avobenzone, and at least four compounds that quench singlet-excited energy and/or triplet excited energy, respectively “singlet quenchers” and “triplet quenchers”.

Abstract: Provided is a cosmeceutical composition that delivers both short and long term improvement in the appearance of skin. The composition includes, as required ingredients, at least a suspension of a powder of an aliphatic polyester copolymer, a cross-linked silicone elastomer, and one or more components that are hydrolyzates and/or acylated short chain peptides.
