The present invention relates generally to a cosmetic or dermatological antimicrobial composition and treatment.
Environmental assault on the body and skin is of increasing concern in a world of rapid climate changes. Yet, environmental assault is not limited to just the sun, changing temperatures, and pollution. As the COVID-19 pandemic spread throughout the world in 2019 and 2020 and beyond, the invisible threat of airborne pathogens became suddenly and irrevocably very real. Such airborne pathogens may be characterized as bacteria or viruses, and are typically dispersed into the air from one victim to the next, without physical contact and sometimes, through the ordinary sloughing of the skin. Skin is the largest organ of the human body, and thus healthy skin is extremely important for the good health of every person. If a person's skin is compromised in any way, harmful airborne pathogens can be absorbed into the epidermis and cause inflammation, dehydration, loss of elasticity and firmness.
These threats are increasingly being recognized by many consumers as a result of their adverse experiences during the worldwide COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. Health and safety considerations are now often of primary importance to consumers during the pandemic, where in the past aesthetic benefits of skin care treatments were considered key purchase drivers. Skin care products that are focused on killing germs, supporting immunity and overall health promotion are more relevant than ever, although such products that also claim naturalness, sustainability, quality and brand provide further unique and differentiated solutions to caring for a person's skin. Families of all sizes, with a diverse mix of generations and cultures, are focusing on day-to-day health and safety needs, and are driven by safety, quality, and the latest in technology as values for skin health.
Current skin care treatment products and methods, however, often lack safety and hygiene-forward solutions that help destroy harmful pathogens and foster a healthy skin microbiome.
The human microbiome comprises trillions of microorganisms (also called microbiota or microbes) of thousands of different species inside the human body. These include not only bacteria but fungi, parasites, and viruses. In a healthy person, these “bugs” coexist peacefully, with the largest numbers found in the small and large intestines but also throughout the body. The microbiome is even labeled a supporting organ because it plays so many key roles in promoting the smooth daily operations of the human body.
Each person has an entirely unique network of microbiota that is originally determined by one's DNA. A person is first exposed to microorganisms as an infant, during delivery in the birth canal and through the mother's breast milk. Exactly which microorganisms the infant is exposed to depends solely on the species of microorganisms found in the mother. Later on, environmental exposures and diet can change one's microbiome to be either beneficial to health or place one at greater risk for disease. See Ursell, L. K., et al. Defining the Human Microbiome. Nutr Rev. 2012 August; 70(Suppl 1): S38-S44.
The microbiome consists of microbes that are both helpful and potentially harmful. Most are symbiotic (where both the human body and microbiota benefit) and some, in smaller numbers, are pathogenic (promoting disease). In a healthy body, pathogenic and symbiotic microbiota coexist without problems. But if there is a disturbance in that balance—brought on by infectious illnesses, certain diets, or the prolonged use of antibiotics or other bacteria-destroying medications—dysbiosis occurs, stopping these normal interactions. As a result, the body may become more susceptible to disease.
Human skin is home to millions of bacteria, fungi and viruses that compose the skin microbiota. Similar to those in the human gut, skin microorganisms have essential roles in the protection against invading pathogens, the education of the human immune system and the breakdown of natural products. As the largest organ of the human body, skin is colonized by beneficial microorganisms and serves as a physical barrier to prevent the invasion of pathogens. In circumstances where the barrier is broken or when the balance between commensals and pathogens is disturbed, skin disease or even systemic disease can result. Human skin sites can be categorized by their physiological characteristics, that is, whether they are sebaceous (oily), moist or dry. Functioning as the exterior interface of the human body with the environment, skin acts as a physical barrier to prevent the invasion of foreign pathogens while providing a home to the commensal microbiota. See Byrd, A., Belkaid, Y. & Segre, J. The human skin microbiome. Nat Rev Microbiol 16, 143-155 (2018). https://doi.org/10.1038/nrmicro.2017.157.
Environmental assault on the skin is thus an increasing concern in a world of rapid environmental and climate changes. As mentioned above, skin is the body's largest organ and the first line of defense against damage from external environmental aggressors such as the sun, pollution, and airborne pathogens, among others. People on average touch their face at least 23 times per hour, which is a major way that viruses and bacteria spread. Furthermore, viral and bacterial pathogens are typically dispersed into the air through ordinary sloughing of the skin and land on facial skin of others. While hands can be washed and sanitized, over-washing or sanitizing frequently damages a person's skin, not just skin on the hands and body, but particularly the more delicate and sensitive facial skin areas. Thus, a skin care regimen is needed that includes skin care compositions focused on not just purification and nourishment of a person's skin, but also shielding the person from environmental aggressors of pollution, adverse temperature and climate conditions, and harmful pathogens, while also protecting skin's natural healthy microbiome. Frequent hand washing and use of hand sanitizer advised by epidemiologists, public health and other medical experts during the coronavirus pandemic does little to combat viral pathogens which land on the face—accessing and ultimately infecting the body via touching the eyes, nose, and mouth. Such airborne pathogens are less easily eradicated without damaging the skin through over-washing or alcohol-heavy formulations that can irritate delicate skin, particularly near the eyes, nose and mouth on the face.
As noted above, when skin is compromised, these pathogens can be absorbed into the epidermis and cause inflammation, dehydration, loss of elasticity and firmness, among other skin and health problems. Current skin compositions and treatments available on the marketplace fail to adequately address all the above problems. The present invention provides a composition and treatment for skin purification, nourishment, and protection from environmental aggressors.

Embodiments of the invention utilize a novel skin care treatment regimen to protect and strengthen a user's skin microbiome. The novel skin care treatment regimen proposed in embodiments of the present invention comprises the application of several products formulated to each have a distinct purpose in a person's individual skincare regimen. As noted above in the Background section, the human skin (microbiome) is comprised of trillions of bacteria and other microbes. Any disruption to the skin's ecosystem (bacteria that lives on a person's skin) can result in skin disorders or even infection—with this in mind, protection and strengthening of a person's skin is of primary importance.
In one embodiment of the invention, the collection of compositions and products proposed herein works well as a system. In some embodiments of the invention, the individual compositions or products described herein may provide beneficial effects when each product is used alone or in combination with one or more of the other products.
Some compositions disclosed herein can be applied to the skin and remain on the skin for a period of time (e.g., at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 10 minutes or more). After which, the composition, if needed, can be rinsed from the skin or blotted from the skin with a dry or damp cloth or paper towel. Some compositions disclosed herein can be applied to the skin and immediately rinsed from the skin. Some compositions disclosed herein can be applied to the skin and absorbed at least in part by the skin. These and other non-limiting aspects of the present invention are described below. In one or more embodiments of the invention, a skin care regimen is proposed to protect and strengthen a human's skin:
Step 1—Start with cleansing at the beginning of the day (when waking up) and night (right before bed) as the first step to a user's skin care routine. A prebiotic cleanser having a creamy texture is used in embodiments of the present invention and comprises a cleanser to strengthen the skin at the beginning of the day with a protective skin care regime. The cleanser may comprise a scent—a citrus blend of essential oils to refresh and soothe the user's senses. The cleanser in the embodiments of the present invention incorporates an effective dose of prebiotics (e.g., food for the beneficial bacteria and microbes) to provide the facial skin with nourishment needed for a balanced complexion. In some embodiments of the invention, lactic acid is added to gently exfoliate and reduce pore size, while vitamins B3 (Niacinamide) and B5 (Panthenol) are added for nourishment, and Hydrolyzed Hyaluronate for added hydration. Allantoin is included as an ingredient for many users that have sensitive skin—this ingredient helps to ward off irritation. In one embodiment of the present invention, the cleanser may comprise an everyday product that a user may use for both day and night.
Step 2—After cleansing, the next step in the skin care regimen for embodiments of the present invention comprise skin moisturizing and protection. A moisturizer is used in embodiments of the present invention to combat environmental assault users live through every day—pollution, blue light (digital) and airborne pathogens. The moisturizer used in some embodiments of the present invention comprises a rejuvenating treatment that also soothes the senses. A light yet ultra-moisturizing lotion is formulated in embodiments of the present invention, armed with a novel Guardian Complex™ a blend of ingredients that protect and strengthen a user's skin, including a citrus essential oil, which has a soothing and energizing scent. In some embodiments of the invention, the Guardian Complex formula includes peptides to relieve skin wrinkles, antioxidants to address damaging free radicals, and Vitamins B3 and B5 to brighten, smooth and nourish the user's skin. Hydrators like Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate and Sodium PCA are also included.
Step 3—In some embodiments of the present invention, the user's skin is refreshed throughout the day in a Purifying Mist, comprising a fine mist spray formula that may be applied under or over a user's make-up, or used without make-up. The purifying mist formulated for embodiments of the present invention protects and strengthens a user's microbiome by adding ingredients with natural antimicrobials, blue light and free radical chasers, hydrators, peptides, and potent hydrators. The purifying mist may be used to refresh throughout the day to keep the user's skin protected, nourished and strengthened.
Step 4—In some embodiments of the present invention, a hand and body shield and purifying lotion comprises a formula that helps to guard and support a user's skin that is exposed to the harsh environmental elements throughout the day. In some embodiments of the present invention, the hand and body shield and purifying lotion includes the innovative Guardian Complex™ described herein, in a specially formulated hand and body lotion that is richer and made for a user's body. The hand and body shield and purifying lotion includes natural anti-microbials, antioxidants, peptides, hydrolyzed hyaluronate, plus lactic acid, vitamins B3 & B5 and Allantoin. The Hand & Body Shield and Purifying Lotion of embodiments of the present invention shields a user's skin from environmental invaders but also seals in nourishing and rejuvenating active ingredients.
Step 5—After a full day of battling environmental factors, a user's skin needs to rest and allow the skin to regenerate. In some embodiments of the present invention, a user's skin is nourished with “good” and beneficial bacteria in order to bring balance to a user's skin during sleep. A Night-Life “Live Probiotic”+HA Serum of some embodiments of the present invention comprises a hydrating treatment that includes “encapsulated live probiotics”, where there is no need to refrigerate the serum—it is a stable version in an aqueous and hydrating solution containing Hyaluronic Acid. Another novel aspect of this serum is that it contains Synchrolife™ (e.g., as manufactured by Sederma, comprising Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Chrysin). These ingredients work together to relax a user's skin in synchronization with a user's circadian rhythms.
Some embodiments of the present invention provide a skincare composition comprising an antimicrobial component, an antiaging component and a moisturizing component comprising at least one alpha-hydroxy acid. In some embodiments, the antimicrobial component comprises a silver citrate and zeolite blend. In some embodiments, the blend is at 5% relative to total weight of the composition. In some embodiments, the antiaging component comprises at least one hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate. In some embodiments, the skincare composition further comprises at least one of an antioxidant component, a vitamin component, and a copper ferment. In some embodiments, the alpha-hydroxy acid comprises at least one of lactic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, malic acid, glycolic acid, gluconic acid, and salicylic acid.
In some embodiments, the skincare composition further comprises a screen-emitted artificial visible light protecting component comprising at least one of EnergiNius® (e.g., as manufactured by Gattefosse, comprising Fructose, Glycerin, Water, and Withania somnifera root extract), Withania somnifera root extract, Marigold (Calendula officinalis) Extract, PEPHA®-AGE (e.g., as manufactured by DSM Nutritional Products LLC, comprising Scenedesmus rubescens extract), and niacinamide (vitamin B3).
In one embodiment of the present invention, EnergiNius® is used to protect skin cells from screen-emitted artificial visible light. After use, the skin may appear visibly revived, and the signs of fatigue may disappear in favor of a healthy glow. In one embodiment of the present invention, EnergiNius® is used in an effective amount, for example at 1%, in facial care formulations.
In some embodiments of the present invention, PEPHA®-AGE reduces blue light (e.g., screen-emitted artificial visible light) induced skin hyperpigmentation and redness, reduces oxidative stress and carbonylated proteins, as well as restores and boost collagen synthesis (especially Collagen III). Scenedesmus rubescens is a microalga, a unicellular organism living in freshwater lakes. This microalgal cell has developed self-defense capabilities, with a very strong cell wall protecting against the harsh environment, and with red dots of carotenoids to fight against blue light. Scenedesmus rubescens has a chemical composition including amino acids, vitamins (B3), algal saccharides and minerals (Zn). In some embodiments of the present invention, skincare compositions comprising Scenedesmus rubescens extract minimize the appearance of aging after exposure to blue light and UV, deliver even skin tone and overall improved skin appearance, and reduces skin damage caused by blue light and UV.
In some embodiments, the antimicrobial component comprises at least one or more of: Hypochlorous Acid, Oregano, Benzochloride, Aloe Vera, Peppermint Extract, Rosemary Extract, Ginger, Manuka Honey, Tea Tree Oil, Coleus forskohlii root oil, Kaempferia galanga root extract, Olea europaea leaf extract, Curcuma longa, Silver Citrate, Zeolite, Melia azadirachta, Camellia sinensis leaf extract, Silver, and Colloidal Silver.
In some embodiments, silver and colloidal silver are an organic and natural antimicrobial ingredient that can be used in skincare compositions described in the present invention, having antibacterial and antifungal properties, with colloidal silver also having a soothing and purifying effect. Examples of other metals that may be used as antimicrobial components of the skincare composition of embodiments of the present invention include copper and copper tripeptides, having similar healing properties as silver, protecting the skin from potential free radical damage, but on a smaller and more cost-effective scale; and zinc oxide, another metal ion known to protect against UVA and UVB rays.
EcoG+ Liquid 100 (comprising Silver Citrate and Zeolite) as used in embodiments of the present invention provides additional benefits over silver and colloidal silver. During manufacturing, any potentially harmful ions are destroyed, leaving behind only the silver ions and the EcoG+polymer—which acts as a carrier and preservative for the silver in the skincare composition of embodiments of the present invention. Silver ions used in the EcoG+ Liquid 100 (compared to those in colloidal silver and nano-silver) are less likely to cause any type of negative reaction, making Silver EcoG+ suitable for all skin types, and will promote and support skin healing and overall skin health in those with sensitive skins or compromised skin barriers. EcoG+ Liquid 100 is a water-based silver ion protection system that also comprises a strong bactericide providing additional anti-microbial activity alone or in combination with sodium benzoate and other common preservatives. EcoG+ Liquid 100 offers wide pH compatibility and is an all-natural antimicrobial skin purifier suitable for even the most sensitive of skins. See, e.g., Degen, G., 2016.

As used in some embodiments of the present invention, Saccharomyces Copper Ferment is a yeast extract with copper ions. Saccharomyces is a genus of fungi that consists of various types of yeast. Copper has been used in skin care and anti-aging science because of its research findings suggest the mineral helps to rejuvenate the cells. Research indicates that the complexes found in copper are responsible for promoting cell-turnover, increasing Collagen and Elastin production, and diminishing the signs of aging. Saccharomyces Copper Ferment is converted into what is known as a glycopeptide using Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Glycopeptides have been found to inhibit cell wall synthesis. Glycopeptides have a bactericidal effect on bacteria. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae is utilized in products as a skin-conditioning ingredient. Research indicates that the yeast can combat oxidative stress while protecting the skin from free radical damage. Some of the benefits found in Saccharomyces Copper Ferment are said to include stimulation of hyaluronic acid production, retaining moisture in the skin, firming and softening the skin, repairing cell damage, anti-inflammatory activity and antioxidant activity. Copper peptides have been used in both skin and hair care products and are believed to promote growth while fighting hair loss. Copper has been used in a variety of products over the last 50 years. Early research suggests that copper peptides can bond with proteins in the body stimulate their functions. Shampoos, lotions, cosmetics, and anti-aging products have included the ingredient. Copper has also been used in sunscreens, as a skin conditioner, and to treat serious conditions such as psoriasis.

Additional information and suppliers of the above-listed ingredients (and the corresponding trade names) can be found in the International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary and Handbook, 16th Edition (2016), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. INCI (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients) is designed to help cosmetic formulators find information on cosmetics ingredients. INCI names (International Nomenclature Cosmetic Ingredient) are systematic names internationally recognized to identify cosmetic ingredients (i.e., plant extracts, oils, chemicals). For example, EU, USA, China, Japan and Canada may only accept INCI names for cosmetic product labelling. As an example, INCI names may be used for cosmetic labeling instead of using chemical names because a cosmetic ingredient can have various chemical names (IUPAC name, common name, CAS name, etc.) in different countries. The use of harmonized INCI names can minimize confusion.
Further, the extracts identified above can be produced by extraction methods known in the art and combinations thereof. Non-limiting examples of extraction methods include the use of liquid-liquid extraction, solid phase extraction, aqueous extraction, ethyl acetate, alcohol, acetone, oil, supercritical carbon dioxide, heat, pressure, pressure drop extraction, ultrasonic extraction, etc. Extracts can be a liquid, solid, dried liquid, re-suspended solid, etc. Extracts may be produced in some embodiments of the invention by obtaining the corresponding fruit, seed, or leaf, to produce the extract by extraction methods which are known to those of ordinary skill in the art. In addition, a person of ordinary skill in the art would be able to isolate any one of the extracts identified above from parts of the corresponding plant by using any suitable method known in the art. In one non-limiting example, the plant (or any part of the plant such as the leaves, stems, bark, roots, fruit, flowers or flower buds, seeds, seed pods, sap, whole plant, etc.) can be disrupted by mechanical means which results in a puree. The puree is then processed to be substantially free of impurities or undesired solids. The puree can then be poured into a shallow vessel and quickly exposed to a low temperature, e.g., flash frozen, for example at −20 degrees Celsius or lower, under a vacuum for removal of water content. The resultant extract can then be used in the compositions of the present invention. In other aspects, aqueous, alcoholic or oil-based extraction techniques, or combinations thereof, can be used on the whole plant or any part thereof to produce an extract. In such a process, the desired part of the plant or the whole plant is crushed up (e.g., blender) and then subjected to a desired solvent (e.g., water, alcohol, water/alcohol, or oil-based solvents) to obtain the desired extract. The extract can then be stored in liquid form, lyophilized, or subjected to further processing techniques (e.g., heating, cooling, etc.). Extraction processes are known to those of ordinary skill in the art (e.g., maceration, infusion, percolation, digestion, decoction, hot continuous extraction, aqueous-alcoholic extract, counter current extract, microwave assisted extraction ultrasound extraction, supercritical fluid extracts, phytonic extract (e.g., with hydro-fluoro-carbon solvents), etc.
Essential oils include oils derived from herbs, flowers, trees and other plants. Such oils are typically present as tiny droplets between the plant's cells, and can be extracted by several methods known to those of skill in the art (e.g., steam distilled, enfleurage (e.g., extraction by using fat, maceration, solvent extraction, or mechanical pressing). When these types of oil are exposed to air they tend to evaporate (e.g., a volatile oil). As a result, many essential oils are colorless, but with age they can oxidize and become darker, Essential oils are insoluble in water and are soluble in alcohol, ether, fixed oils (vegetal), and other organic solvents. Typical physical characteristics found in essential oils include boiling points that vary from about 160 degrees to 240 degrees Celsius. Essential oils typically are named by the plant from which the oil is found. Non-limiting examples of essential oils that can be used in embodiments of the present invention include lavender oil, lemon oil, lemon peel oil, lime oil, mandarin oil, orange oil, and grapefruit oil.
