Benefits of technology

This patent describes a method for improving the appearance of hyperpigmented skin by applying a composition containing banyan tree serum fraction, lotus serum fraction, and clover serum fraction blend. The composition is applied for a period of time to the area of hyperpigmented skin or to a specific hyperpigmented spot on the skin surface. The technical effect of this patent is to provide a natural and effective way to reduce skin hyperpigmentation and improve its appearance.

Problems solved by technology

Over time, chronic UV exposure and other intrinsic and extrinsic aging factors may lead to permanent gene expression changes in keratinocytes and / or melanocytes resulting in age-related hyperpigmented spots.
These changes can result in overproduction of melanin and resultant hyperpgimented spots that persist even when an insult, such as UV exposure, is avoided.

Exemplary Compositions

[0061]Table 1 sets forth non-limiting examples of the compositions of the present invention. The examples are given solely for the purpose of illustration and are not to be construed as limitations of the present invention, as many variations thereof are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, which would be recognized by one of ordinary skill in the art. In the examples, all concentrations are listed as weight percent, unless otherwise specified and may exclude minor materials such as diluents, filler, and so forth. The listed formulations, therefore, comprise the listed components and any minor materials associated with such components. As is apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art, the selection of these minor materials will vary depending on the physical and chemical characteristics of the particular ingredients selected to make the present invention as described herein.

Melanin Synthesis Inhibition

[0064]Individual banyan tree, lotus, and clover serum fractions, as well as their blends, were evaluated according to the melanin synthesis assay described herein. A B16-F1 mouse melanoma cell line is employed in the assay. The B16-F1 cells are obtained from American Tissue Culture Collection, Virginia, USA. The cell culture medium used in the assay comprises 500 mL of Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM), 50 mL Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS), and 5 mL of penicillin-streptomycin liquid. B16-F1 cells that are cultured in this medium and grown to greater than 90% confluency synthesize melanin. While not intending to be bound by any theory, it is hypothesized that the melanin synthesis is stimulated by the culture medium and / or stress induced by growth to a high confluency. The DMEM and FBS can be obtained from American Tissue Culture Collection and the penicillin-streptomycin liquid can be obtained from Invitrogen, Inc., California, USA. Equipment used in th...

Method of Treatment

[0073]A test subject topically applies composition A of Example 1 to the entire face once a day for 8 weeks. Photographs of the subject's face at week 0 and at week 8 are compared to show that the subject's overall facial skin tone improves (less hyperpigmented and more even) and hyperpigmented spots are lighter and smaller in size.

Abstract

The present invention relates to compositions comprising banyan tree, lotus, and clover serum fractions. A method of improving the appearance of a hyperpigmented spot may comprise the step of applying a composition comprising an effective amount of banyan tree serum fraction, lotus serum fraction, and clover serum fraction to a hyperpigmented spot on a skin surface, wherein the composition is applied for a period of time sufficient to improve the appearance of the hyperpigmented spot. The method may include the step of identifying a hyperpigmented spot on a facial skin surface. Other methods as disclosed include a method for improving the appearance of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to compositions comprising banyan tree, lotus, and clover serum fractions. The present invention also relates to methods for improving the appearance of hyperpigmented mammalian skin using a synergistic composition comprising banyan tree, lotus, and clover serum fractions.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Human skin comprises three principal layers: the epidermis, the dermis, and the subcutaneous fat layer. The epidermis comprises four layers (from top to bottom): the stratum corneum, the granular layer, the spiny layer, and the basal layer. A separate fifth layer, the stratum lucidum, may be present between the stratum corneum and granular layer. The basal layer produces cells which gradually migrate upward to form the other epidermal layers. As these cells migrate upward, they lose their central nucleus and start to produce skin proteins (keratins) and fats (lipids). These cells are identified as keratinocytes when present i...
