Benefits of technology

"The present invention is a cosmetic product that contains a UV-protective amount of a compound called rosavin. This compound is found in a plant extract, specifically an extract of Rhodiola rosea. The product also contains a cosmetically acceptable vehicle. The invention is designed to prevent or reduce the signs of photoaging, which is caused by excessive UV exposure. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a safe and effective way to protect the skin from UV damage."

Problems solved by technology

However, because such preparations are visible and occlusive, many people consider those opaque formulations to be cosmetically unacceptable.
While these types of sunscreens may be more acceptable cosmetically, they are still relatively short-lived and susceptible to being removed by washing or perspiration.

example 1

[0037]The effect of Rhodiola rosea on UVB-induced sunburn cell formation in living skin equivalents (LSEs) is tested. Excised portions (8 mm) are taken from living skin equivalents (Organogenesis) and cultured over transwell membrane plates. These excised portions are pre-treated with Rhodiola rosea at 0.1 mg / ml (PBS) for 4 hours. After the post-incubation, these excised portions are UVB-irradiated at 0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mJ / cm2. Following a 24 hour post-incubation, these skin equivalents are fixed in formalin and stored at −4° C. These samples are then stained using H&E staining. Sections are then evaluated using a microscope at 400× magnification. A section is selected from each sample and counts of sunburn cells were made.

[0038]Results and Discussion: As seen in FIG. 1, UVB induces a dose-dependent increase of sunburn cell formation in living skin equivalents. There are 10, 21 and 32 sunburn cells in a selected field at 100 mJ, 150 mJ, and 200 mJ UVB radiation, respectively (F...

example 2

[0039]Excised portions (8 mm) are taken from living skin equivalents (LSE) and cultured over transwell membrane plates. These excised portions are pre-treated with rosavin or salidroside at 0.01% (PBS) for 18 hours. After the post-incubation, these excised portions are UVB-irradiated at 0 and 175 mJ / cm2. One set of LSEs is immediately fixed in formalin to determine TT dimer formation (DNA damage). Following a 24-hour post-incubation, another set of skin equivalents is fixed in formalin. These samples are then prepared for TT dimer immunostaining. Sections are then evaluated using a microscope at 400× magnification. A section is selected from each sample and TT dimer containing cells are evaluated. DNA damage is measured by examining TT dimer stained cells immediately after UVB irradiation. DNA repair (TT dimer removal) in UVB-irradiated LSEs is determined by comparing the levels of TT dimer at 0 hr (immediately after UVB) with the levels of TT dimer at 24 hours (24 hours after UVB)....

Abstract

A cosmetic composition comprising a UV-protective amount of at least one rosavin, preferably present in an extract of Rhodiola rosea in a cosmetically acceptable vehicle, and methods of use thereof, including preventing or reducing the signs of photoaging.

Description

[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 167,390, filed Jun. 27, 2005, which claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119e of U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 60 / 584,214 filed Jun. 30, 2004.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to skin care cosmetic compositions and methods. In particular, the present invention relates to novel cosmetic compositions and methods comprising Rhodiola rosea extracts.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Numerous attempts have been made to reduce the detrimental effects of UV radiation on the skin. In fact, UV exposure to skin is believed to cause photoaging, a term used to describe the changes in appearance and / or function of human skin as a result of repeated exposure to sunlight. Of particular concern are wrinkles, coarseness, mottled pigmentation, sallowness, and related changes in the appearance of skin as a result of UV exposure.[0004]Sunscreens are commonly used to prevent photoaging of skin area...
