Abstract: The invention relates to structured water and its antioxidant activity. In addition, the present invention relates to antioxidants incorporated within the cluster structure of either electropositive (S water) or electronegative (I water). The structured water, having the antioxidant within its cluster structure, has a stabilizing effect on the antioxidant. In addition, the antioxidant activity inherent to structured water is enhanced by the presence of the antioxidant within its cluster structure. The present invention also includes methods of removing or reducing free radicals on the skin and thereby preventing the signs of skin aging and the risks of cancer associated with the presence of free radicals in the skin.

Abstract: The invention relates to a delivery system for biologically active oligopeptides. The delivery system comprises an electrochemical cell and a skin-beneficial amount of one or more oligopeptides. In a preferred embodiment the electrochemical cell and the peptide are contained in a dermal patch. The invention also relates to a topically acceptable hydrogel that comprises a hydrophilic polymer, an aqueous or aqueous alcoholic carrier, at least one skin-beneficial oligopeptide, and a salt, wherein at least a portion of the carrier is a structured water.

Abstract: A cosmetic or pharmaceutical emulsion composition that is topically applied to the skin to protect it against damage caused by electromagnetic field generated from everyday appliances such as televisions, computers and cellular phones. The compositions contain ambient electromagnetic wave dampening effective amounts of at least one single domain magnet as the sole magnetic component and a non-magnetic ionic component. The sole magnetic component works particularly well in the composition of the present invention when it comprises granatite and when the composition is an oil in water emulsion.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods of coloring the hair with cluster-modified water and the ability to achieve enhanced color and conditioning for the hair that is color-treated. The cluster-modified water can be ionized water such as alkalinic or acidic water, or structured water such as I or S water. In addition, the cluster-modified water can be applied to the hair as a pre-saturating treatment and/or a post-saturating treatment relative to the hair color treatment process. Additional benefits of the present invention are the ability to minimize the use of harsh chemicals and dyes while still achieving an enriched color, and increased softness and smoothness to the color-treated hair. The present invention can also be used with mordanting salts. The present invention also includes a hair coloring kit including the cluster-modified water for post-saturating and/or pre-saturating the hair.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a topical system for application to the skin comprising an effective amount of a colloidal crystalline array in a hydrophilic phase, and at least one oil-containing phase.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of modulating a selected biological activity of a naturally occurring material having one or more biological activities in an extract of the naturally occurring material, the method comprising incubating the extract in a medium in the presence of an aerobically metabolizing microorganism, under suitable aerobic conditions, for a period of time sufficient to modulate the selected activity with respect to baseline activity of the unincubated extract. The invention also relates to the bioconverted material so prepared, and the use of same in cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions.

Abstract: The invention relates to structured water and the ability to achieve antimicrobial activity when the structured water has two antimicrobial agents in its cluster structure. One of the two antimicrobial agents can be stabilizing agent for the other antimicrobial agent. Thus, the antimicrobial structured water contains a combination of positively charged ions having antimicrobial activity and a stabilizing agent present within its cluster structure. In particular, the present invention relates to potassium sorbate and ionic silver incorporated within the cluster structure of either electropositive (S water) or electronegative (I water). The structured water, having the stabilizing agent and the positively charged ions incorporated within the cluster structure of structured water acts as a preservative when used in cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions. The structured water of the present invention also has a stabilizing effect on the antimicrobial activity of the ionic silver.
