Abstract
This invention discloses color cosmetic compositions and methods for anti-aging treatments that utilize plant-based copper antioxidant complexes.
Claims13
A therapeutic color cosmetic composition for topical application to human skin or lips showing signs or symptoms of aging wherein the color cosmetic composition has a pH of from about 7.2 to about 7.6 and consists essentially of:
- a) a safe and effective amount of a liposome dispersion having a pH of from 7.5 to 8.5, said liposome dispersion consisting essentially of submicron liposomal therapeutic units, each of said therapeutic units having a lipid shell and containing
- i) an aqueous, non-acidic solution of a water-soluble botanical copper-antioxidant complex, and
- ii) at least one skin penetration-enhancing ingredient, and
- b) a solid, semi-solid or liquid color cosmetic vehicle containing at least two cosmetic colorants selected from the group consisting of inorganic pigments, organic colorants, and synthetic or natural pearlescent pigments.

An anti-aging cosmetic lip treatment composition consisting essentially of:
- a) a liposome dispersion of an aqueous, non-acidic solution of sodium copper chlorophyllin having a pH of from 7.5 to 8.5, said dispersion consisting essentially of submicron liposomal therapeutic units, each of said therapeutic units having a lipid shell and containing an aqueous, non-acidic solution of sodium copper chlorophyllin complex and at least one skin penetration-enhancing ingredient wherein the amount of sodium copper chlorophyllin is 0.01 to 0.2%, by weight, based on the weight of the composition;
- b) water at a concentration of from 0.5% to 10.0% by weight of the total composition;
- c) a solid, semi-solid or liquid color cosmetic vehicle comprising
- i) at least one non-therapeutic cosmetic ingredient selected from the group consisting of cosmetic waxes, emollients, preservatives, emulsifiers, color extenders, and processing aids, and
- ii) at least two cosmetic pigments and/or colorants selected from the group consisting of iron oxide, external D&C colorants, carmine, titanium dioxide, mica, and bismuth oxychloride, a1 wherein said cosmetic pigments and/or colorants comprise 5.0% to 90% by weight of the composition.

An anti-aging cosmetic facial treatment composition consisting essentially of:
- a) a liposome dispersion of an aqueous, non-acidic solution of sodium copper chlorophyllin having a pH of from 7.5 to 8.5, said dispersion consisting essentially of submicron liposomal therapeutic units, each of said therapeutic units having a lipid shell and containing an aqueous, non-acidic solution of sodium copper chlorophyllin complex and at least one skin penetration-enhancing ingredient, wherein the amount of sodium copper chlorophyllin is 0.01 to 0.2%, by weight, based on the weight of the composition;
- b) water at a concentration of from about 0.5% to about 10.0% by weight of the composition;
- c) a solid, semi-solid or liquid color cosmetic vehicle comprising
- i) at least one non-therapeutic cosmetic ingredient selected from the group consisting of cosmetic waxes, emollients, preservatives, emulsifiers, color extenders, and processing aids, and
- ii) at least two cosmetic pigments and/or colorants selected from the group consisting of iron oxides, external D&C colorants, carmine, titanium dioxides, micas, and bismuth oxychloride, wherein said cosmetic pigments and/or colorants comprise 5.0% to 90% by weight of the composition.
