example 1

Composition with Acidified Fucoidan, Beta Glucan, and Ascorbyl Polypeptide

In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a composition is described having the components shown in Table 1 below. The methodology employed in producing the composition using the amounts described in Table 1 below is generally as follows.

Method Sequence No. 1

In a first mixture, neutralized glycolic and salicyclic acid solution (source: Spectrum Chemical; Gardena, Calif.) was heated in a stainless steel container to approximately 85 degrees Celsius. The seaweed complex consisting of Ulva lactuta, Alteromonas maclodeii, and astaxanthin (source: Unipex Innovations, Mississauga, Ontario) was added to the heated glycolic acid mixture. The combined mixture was mixed for approximately 45 to 60 minutes.

Composition with Non-Acidified Fucoidan and Beta Glucan

In accordance with a further embodiment of the present invention, a composition is described having the components shown in Table 2. The methodology employed in producing the composition using the amounts described in Table 2 is generally as follows.

Method Sequence No. 1

In a first mixture, a polarized water was developed by adding tourmaline and obsidian (source: Soliance) to the distilled water. The seaweed complex consisting of Ulva lactuta, Astaxanthin, Alteromonas maclodeii (source: Unipex Innovations; Quebec City, Quebec) was dissolved into one half of the polarized water. The mixture was maintained at approximately 85 degrees Celsius. While maintaining the temperature, the mixture was stirred for approximately 45 minutes to 60 minutes. Thereafter, beta glucan (source: Biothera) and fucoidan (source: Marinova) complex were dissolved in the seaweed complex-distilled water mixture. This mixture was maintained at approximately...

Composition with Acidified Fucoidan, Beta Glucan and Retinol

In accordance with a further embodiment of the present invention, a composition is described having the components shown in Table 3. The methodology employed in producing the composition using the amounts described in Table 3 is generally as follows.

Method Sequence No. 1

In a first mixture, neutralized glycolic and salicylic acid solution (source: Dupont or Spectrum Chemical) was heated in a stainless steel container to approximately 85 degrees Celsius. The seaweed complex consisting of Ecklonia cava, Alteromonas maclodeii, and Astaxanthin (source: Unipex Innovations) was added to the heated glycolic acid mixture. The combined mixture was mixed for approximately 45 to 60 minutes.

Polarized water was developed by adding tourmaline and obsidian (source: Soliance) to the distilled water. The beta glucan and fucoidan complex (source: Active Concepts, Marinova) was dissolved in one-third of the polarized water. The dissolved beta ...

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of InventionThe present invention relates generally to a cosmetic composition and more particularly to a cosmetic composition containing seaweed for application to skin to improve the appearance of the skin.2. Description of Related ArtThe skin is one of the largest organs in the body. Skin is comprised of three main layers: the epidermis, the dermis and subcutaneous layers. At the outermost part of the epidermis, a layer of dead cells forms what is known as a stratum corneum layer. The dermis is the middle layer of skin and is comprised of arrangements of collagen fibres, which surround many specialized cells and structures. The innermost layer of the skin is the subcutaneous layer, often called the sub-dermis. The subcutaneous layer is comprised largely of fat and connective tissue and houses larger blood vessels and nerves. Elastin may be found in all layers of the skin, but is most prominent in the dermis layer.The condition and appearance is ...
