The subject invention relates to a skin cream that can be used to moisturize and rejuvenate skin that has been damaged by exposure to sunlight or which has simply been affected over the years by intrinsic aging. It can also be used to slow the rate of photo-induced aging to maintain beautiful skin tone and texture over the years. It inhibits the formation of wrinkles and in some cases reduces the depth of existing wrinkles or eliminates them entirely. In some cases, the skin cream of this invention also lightens age spots and other types of blemishes associated with aging. This invention is based upon the discovery that alkyl lactates, such as ethyl lactate, can be used to improve the penetration of active ingredients in skin care formulations deep into lower layers of the skin tissue. For instance, ethyl lactate can be included in aqueous based skin creams, such as oil in water emulsions, to deliver active ingredients deep into the skin structure. Ethyl lactate is particularly desirable for utilization in conjunction with ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) containing skin cream formulations. This is beneficial because the overall effectiveness of skin creams that utilize ascorbic acid as an active ingredient is contingent upon delivery of the ascorbic acid through the outer layers of the stratum corneum and viable epidermis and into the dermis layer of the skin structure. The present invention more specifically discloses a topical formulation comprising about 1 weight percent to about 20 weight percent ascorbic acid, about 1 weight percent to about 10 weight percent of an amino acid selected from the group consisting of phenylalanine and tyrosine, about 0.5 weight percent to about 5 weight percent of a non-toxic zinc salt, about 0.01 weight percent to about 20 weight percent of an alkyl lactate, wherein the alkyl group in the alkyl lactate contains from 2 to about 12 carbon atoms, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

In order to solve the problems of low wine production rate and ethyl-acetate/ethyl-lactate rate in summer in the solid fermentation process of the traditional faint-scent white wine, the invention provides a production method for brewing the faint-scent white wine by fermentation of multi-strain enhanced yeasts. The production method comprises the steps of utilizing fresh fermented grains of fen wine to screen wine-brewing yeasts with high ester yield, rhizopus oryzae for producing amylase, acid-resistant and alcohol-resistant monascus fulginosus and high-temperature-resistant bacillus subtilis with the activities of protease and amylase and prepare wine yeast for producing the wine-brewing yeast, bran koji for producing the rhizopus oryzae, rice koji for producing the monascus fulginosus and bacteria solution for producing the bacillus subtilis, then adding into grains together with the yeast for production by a certain proportion, putting into a jar for fermentation and thus obtaining the faint-scent white wine. The production method provided by the invention has the beneficial effects that the cost is reduced; the obtained wine is high in ethyl acetate/ethyl lactate rate, total-acid content and wine production rate and strong in ester fragrance and has faint scent, preserved fragrance and sauce feel, and tastes sourly and coolly with mellowness and softness, and the difficulties of low and uncoordinated wine fragrance, lack of mellowness and short aftertaste due to low ethyl-acetate/ethyl-lactate rate and low acidity of the faint-scent white wine are solved.

An improved acidization solution is provided which comprises water and one or more esters or polyesters of hydroxy acid or of glycerol. The solution may include, for example, ethyl lactate and pure water or a brine. The hydrolysis of the esters or polyesters occurs at a slower reaction rate than that of several other known acidization esters, such as diethyleneglycol diformate, at temperatures higher than 60° C. or even higher than 100° C. Thus, the acidization solution may be distributed substantially throughout a region in a well where acidization is required before hydrolysis is completed, despite being exposed to relatively high temperatures. The hydrolysis may result in the slow release of an acid that is capable of consuming all or most of an undesirable substance in the well, e.g., a filter cake.
