Abstract
Cellular energy levels in skin cells affected by oxidative stress can be improved through the use of a skin care composition that includes a sucrose ester and a fatty alcohol present at a specific ratio. The fatty alcohol and sucrose ester, when incorporated into a skin care composition at a specific ratio, can provide a synergistic improvement in cellular ATP level for skin cells suffering from the effects of oxidative stress.
Claims12
A skin care composition, comprising:
- a) a sucrose ester chosen from sucrose laurate, sucrose dilaurate, sucrose trilaurate, or mixtures thereof;
- b) hexyldecanol;
- and
- c) a dermatologically acceptable carrier, wherein the fatty alcohol and sucrose ester are present at a weight ratio of 1:1 to 5:1, based on the weight of the composition, and the combination of sucrose ester and fatty alcohol has a synergy factor of at least 1.1 according to the Oxidative Stress Test.
