Embodiment 1

[0212] The following examples illustrate the clarifying efficacy of a topical cosmetic composition of the present invention compared to a 2% hydroquinone composition, as determined by the colorimetric instrument method.

[0213] The clarifying efficacy of each of the two topical products was evaluated in the previously hyperpigmented skin of 10 volunteers in a single center double blind comparative clinical trial lasting 6 weeks. Dermatological assessments were performed at the beginning and end of the study. Skin color was measured at T0, T07, T14 and T21 with a colorimeter and photographic documentation. UVB pigmentation was induced on the previously pigmented skin of the volunteers by using a light emission source, namely a solar simulator (solarsimulator) with Xenon arc light 601 / 300W (manufactured by Solar Light Co).

[0214] The degree of skin pigmentation was determined by the standard color system CIE (The Commission Internacional del'Eclairage) using a Minolta Chroma...

Abstract

Topical cosmetic compositions are provided that can comprise a Phyllanthus extract, a BeIHs extract, and a licorice (Glycyrrhiza) extract. These compositions are used for topical cosmetic applications, particularly to lighten skin. Methods for lightening skin are also provided and can comprise topically administering a therapeutically effective amount of a topical cosmetic composition comprising a Phyllanthus extract, a BeIHs extract, and a licorice extract, to skin of a subject in need thereof.

Description

technical field [0001] The subject matter described in this invention relates to topical cosmetic or dermatological compositions containing plant extracts. These compositions are useful for topical cosmetic applications, especially for the treatment of unwanted skin pigmentation. Background of the invention [0002] Melanocytes, located in the lowest layer of the epidermis (basal layer, adjacent to the basal cells), are pigment-forming cells that occur singly or in clusters depending on the skin type. Melanocytes contain melanosomes, which form melanin at a relatively rapid rate when stimulated by UV radiation. Melanin is transported into keratinocytes and more or less leads to a prominent tan and brown complexion. [0003] Melanin is the end product of an oxidation process in which tyrosine is transformed with the aid of tyrosinase through 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (dopa), dopaquinone, leucodopachrome ), dopachrome, 5,6-dihydroxyindole and indole-5,6-quinone, and finall...
