Abstract
A stable cosmetic, dermatological, or pharmaceutical composition comprising: (a) from about 0.001% to about 99.9%, by weight, of at least one metal complex of an oxidized carbohydrate; wherein the metal complex of an oxidized carbohydrate is neither zinc gluconate nor manganese gluconate nor lithium gluconate; and (b) from about 0.1% to about 99.999%, by weight, of a vehicle, wherein the vehicle comprises at least about 5%, by weight of the composition, of propylene glycol.

A stable cosmetic, dermatological, or pharmaceutical composition comprising:
- (a) from about 0.001% to about 99.9%, by weight, of at least one metal complex of an oxidized carbohydrate;
- wherein said metal complex of an oxidized carbohydrate is neither zinc gluconate nor manganese gluconate nor lithium gluconate;
- and
- (b) from about 0.1% to about 99.999%, by weight, of a vehicle, wherein said vehicle comprises at least about 5%, by weight of the composition, of propylene glycol.
A stable cosmetic, dermatological, or pharmaceutical composition comprising:
- (a) zinc lactobionate;
- (b) zinc gluconate, zinc pyrithione, or both;
- and
- (c) a vehicle.
A stable cosmetic, dermatological, or pharmaceutical composition comprising:
- (a) from about 0.001% to about 99.9%, by weight, of at least one metal complex of an oxidized carbohydrate having a solubility in water of at least 10%;
- and
- (b) from about 0.1% to about 99.999%, by weight, of a vehicle, wherein said vehicle comprises at least about 5%, by weight of the composition, of propylene glycol.
A stable cosmetic, dermatological, or pharmaceutical composition that is the product of a process comprising the steps (a) to (c) in any order:
- (a) adding from about 1% to about 25%, by weight, of a metal salt, and mixing;
- (b) adding from about 1% to about 30%, by weight, of a carboxylic acid of a carbohydrate, and mixing;
- and
- (c) adding from about 0.1% to about 99.999%, by weight, of a vehicle, and mixing;
- wherein said product comprises from about 0.001% to about 99.9%, by weight, of at least one metal complex of an oxidized carbohydrate, wherein said metal complex of an oxidized carbohydrate is neither zinc gluconate nor manganese gluconate nor lithium gluconate.
