Abstract
Methods and compositions for decreased irritation of mammalian skin cells are provided. Compositions contain at least one amide-functionalized oligopeptide. The compositions may advantageously be applied to mammalian skin to effect a reduction in inflammation and redness experienced by the skin, and/or to reduce skin irritation.
Claims20
A composition comprising at least one amide-functionalized oligopeptide.
(canceled)
A method for reducing the irritancy potential of a skin cleanser or skin sanitizer composition, the method comprising the steps of:
- combining a skin cleansing or skin sanitizer composition with one or more amide-functionalized oligopeptides, wherein the amide-functionalized oligopeptide reduces the irritancy potential of the composition.
18-20. (canceled)
A method for the cleansing and/or sanitizing skin, the method comprising the steps of:
- combining a skin cleansing or skin sanitizing composition with one or more amide-functionalized oligopeptides, wherein the amide-functionalized oligopeptide reduces the irritancy potential of the composition;
- and
- contacting the skin with the reduced-irritancy composition in a manner sufficient to cleanse and/or sanitize the skin.
