Compositions for skin application

Abstract

Skin care compositions are provided which contain thermus thermophiles ferment and silybin and provide anti-aging and reparative effect for skin. The compositions may also include one or more additional substances selected from carnosine, adenosine and CG-EDP3. The substances are dispersed in an aqueous carrier, such as water, to be applied to the skin in a spreadable form.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A skin care composition comprising  thermus thermophiles  ferment and silybin. 
     
     
         2 . The skin care composition of  claim 1  comprising:
 from about 0.5 to about 5 percent by weight (wt %), of  thermus thermophiles  ferment, and 
 from about 0.05 to about 0.5 wt % of silybin, all weight percents based on the total weight of the composition. 
 
     
     
         3 . The skin care composition of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more substances selected from emulsifiers, humectants, lubricants, sufactants, dispersants, preservatives, moisturizers. 
     
     
         4 . The skin care composition of  claim 1 , further comprising a carrier. 
     
     
         5 . The skin care composition of  claim 4 , wherein the carrier is an aqueous carrier. 
     
     
         6 . The skin care composition of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more additional substances selected from carnosine, adenosine and CG-EDP3. 
     
     
         6 . kin care composition of  claim 6 , comprising:
 from 0 to about 0.5 wt % of carnosine,   from 0 to about 0.1 wt % of adenosine, and   from 0 to about 0.00015 of CG-EDP3, all weight percents based on the total weight of the composition.   
     
     
         8 . The skin care composition of  claim 6 , further comprising a carrier. 
     
     
         9 . The skin care composition of  claim 8 , wherein the carrier is an aqueous carrier. 
     
     
         10 . The skin care composition of  claim 6 , further comprising one or more substances selected from emulsifiers, humectants, lubricants, sufactants, dispersants, preservatives, moisturizers. 
     
     
         11 . The skin composition of  claim 2 , comprising from about 1 to abou 2 wt % of  thermus thermophiles  ferment. 
     
     
         12 . The skin composition of  claim 2 , comprising from about 0.1 to about 0.2 wt % of silybin. 
     
     
         13 . The skin composition of claim  7 , comprising from about 0.05 to about 0.4 wt % of carnosine. 
     
     
         14 . The skin composition of claim  7 , comprising from about 0.02 to about 0.7 wt % of adenosine. 
     
     
         15 . The skin composition of claim  7 , comprising from about 0.000075 to about 0.000125 wt % of CG EDP3.
