Description

COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING CANNABINOIDS AND ABSORBABLE
MATERIAL AND USES THEREOF
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[0001] This application claims the benefit of and priority to U.S. provisional application No. 62/713316, filed on August 1* 2018, and to U.S. provisional application No. 62/827,284, filed on April 1* 2019, the content of which is herein incorporated in entirety by reference.
FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY
[0002] The present technology generally relates to compositions comprising caimahinnids that are suitable for topical administration and/or oral administration as well as to methods for preparing and administering such compositions. In particular, the present technology generally relates to compositions comprising cannahinoids and absorbable materials that are suitable for topical administration and oral administration as well as to methods for preparing and administering such compositions.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
[0003] Cannabis has a long history of being consumed for many purposes and in many forms. The psychoactive effects of caimahis are well known, however the medical benefits are just beginning to be uncovered and exploited.
[0004] Currently there are over 480 identified compounds found in cannabis. The better known compound is tetrahydrocamiabniol (THC). THC is responsible for maty of the psychoactive effects as well as the medicinal effects. Cannahidiol (CBD) is also another major compound found in caimahis comprising up to 40% of the total carmabinoids found in cannabis extracts and could have as many health benefits as THC.
[0005] The system (ECS) is a biological system composed of i, which are endogenous lipid-based retrograde neurotransmittera that bind to caimahinoid receptors, and caimahinoid receptor proteins that are expressed throughout the mammalian central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. The eadocamabinoid system is involved in regulating a variety of physiological and cognitive processes including fertility, pregnancy, during pre- and postnatal development, appetite, pain-sensation, mood, and memory, and in mediating the pharmacological effectB of cannabis· Recent studies have suggested the existence of a functional ECS in the skin and implicated it in various biological processes (e.g., proliferation, growth, differentiation, apoptosis and cytokine, mediator or hormone production of various cell types of the skin and appendages, such as the hair follicle and sebaceous gland). It would appear that an important physiological function of the cutaneous ECS is to constitutivdy control the proper and well-balanced proliferation, differentiation and survival, as well as immune competence and/or tolerance, of skin cells. The disruption of this delicate balance might facilitate the development of multiple pathological conditions and diseases of the skin (e.g., acne, seborrhea, allergic dermatitis, itch and pain, psoriasis, hair growth disorders, systemic sclerosis and cancer). It is envisaged that the targeted manipulation of the ECS (aiming to normalize the unwanted skin cell growth, sebum production and skin inflammation) might be beneficial in a multitude of human skin diseases and skin conditions.
[0006] In view of this, it would be desirable to obtain compositions for efficiently delivering cannabinoids to cells of, for example, skin tissues to achieve at least some of the beneficial effects of cannabinoids.

[0021] The terms “composition” and “formulation” as used interchangeably herein are equivalent terms referring to a composition of matter.
[0022] As used herein, the term“cannabinoid” refers to a class of diverse chemical compounds that act on cannabinoid receptors on cells that repress neurotransmitter release in the brain. These receptor proteins include the endocannabinoids (produced naturally in the body by humans and animals), the phytocannabinoids (found in cannabis and some other plants), and synthetic cannabinoids.
[0023] As used herein, the term“terpene” refers to a class of organic compounds, naturally produced by a variety of plants. Although sometimes used interchangeably with“terpenes”, terpenoids (or isoprenoids) are modified terpene as they containing additional functional groups, usually oxygen-containing. Terpenes are the major components of rosin and of turpentine produced from resin. Terpenes are also major biosynthetic building blocks. Steroids, for example, are derivatives of the triterpene squalene. Terpenes and terpenoids are the primary constituents of the botanical extracts of many types of medicinal plants and flowers. Examples of terpenes found in cannabis, include, but are not limited to: myrcene, limonene, caryophyllene, pinene, ocimene, terpinolene, humulene, sabinene, cineole, terpinene, pulegone, terpineol, bomyl acetate, copaene, alloaromadendrene, viridiflorene, bisabolene, cadinene, amesene, transnerolidol, and bisabolol. Terpenes are also available in synthetic form.
[0024] As used herein, the term“cannabidiol (CBD)” refers to a cannabinoid found in cannabis.
CBD is a major phytocannabinoid, accounting for up to 40% of the total phytocannabinoids found in the plant's extract. (THC). CBD has a very low affinity for CB1 and CB2 receptors but acts as an indirect antagonist of their agonists. CBD may potentiate THC's effects by increasing CB1 receptor density or through another CB1 -related mechanism. It is also an inverse agonist of CB2 receptors. CBD possesses antiproliferative, pro-apoptotic effects and inhibits cancer cell migration, adhesion and invasion. The IUPAC nomenclature for CBD is 2-((lS,6S)-3-methyl-6-(prop-l-en-2-yl)cyclo- hex-2-enyl)-5-pentylbenzene-l ,3-diol).
[0025] As used herein, the term “tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)” refers to the principal psychoactive constituent (or cannabinoid) of the cannabis plant. THC has a partial agonist activity at the cannabinoid receptor CB1, and the CB2 receptor. IUPAC nomenclature for THC is (-)- (6aR,lQaR)-6,6,9-trimethyl-3-pentyl-6a,7,8,10a-tetrahydro-6H-benzo[c]chromen-l-ol.
[0026] Die expression“cannabinoid receptor” refers hereinafter to a class of cell membrane receptors under the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. There are currently two known subtypes of cannabinoid receptors, termed CB1 and CB2. Die CB1 receptor is expressed in the brain, the lungs, the liver, the kidneys, and throughout the body. The CB2 receptor is expressed mainly in the immune system and in hematopoietic cells. The expression“Cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1)” refers hereinafter to a G protein-coupled cannabinoid receptor located primarily in the central and peripheral nervous system. It is activated by the endocannabinoid neurotransmitters anandamide and 2-arachidonoyl glyceride (2-AG); by plant cannabinoids, such as the compound THC, an active ingredient of the psychoactive drug cannabis; and by synthetic analogues of THC. The expression “Cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2)” refers hereinafter to a G protein-coupled receptor from the cannabinoid receptor family that in humans is encoded by the CNR2 gene. It is closely related to the cannabinoid receptor type 1, which is largely responsible for the efficacy of endocannabinoid- mediated presynaptic-inhibition, the psychoactive properties of Tetrahydrocannabinol, the active agent in marijuana, and other phytocannabinoids (natural cannabinoids). The principal endogenous ligand for the CB2 receptor is 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG). [0027] As used herein, the expression“cannabis strain” refers to varieties of the plant genus Cannabis, which encompasses the species Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica and Cannabis ruderalis. Varieties are developed to intensify specific characteristics of the plant, or to differentiate the strain for the purposes of marketing or to make it more effective as a drug. Cannabis strains commonly refer to those varieties with recreational and medicinal use. These varieties have been cultivated to contain a high percentage of cannabinoids.
[0028] The expression“THC elevated cannabis” or“elevated levels of THC” or any variations thereof refers hereinafter to a cannabis having about 5% or more THC.
[0029] The expression“CBD elevated cannabis” or“elevated levels of CBD” or any variations thereof refers hereinafter to refers hereinafter to a cannabis having about 4% or more CBD.
[0030] The term“topical” as used herein means as applied to body surfaces, such as the skin, hair and nails.
[0031] As used herein, the term“epidermis” refers to the outer layer of the three layers that make up the skin, the inner layers being the dermis and hypodermis. The epidermis layer provides a barrier to infection from environmental pathogens and regulates the amount of water released from the body into the atmosphere through transepidermal water loss. The outermost part of the epidermis is composed of stratified layers of flattened cells, that overlies a basal layer (stratum basale) composed of columnar cells arranged perpendicularly. As used herein, the term“dermis” refers to the thick layer of living tissue below the epidermis that forms the true skin, containing blood capillaries, nerve endings, sweat glands, hair follicles, and other structures.
[0032] As used herein, the expression“soft tissue” refers to tissues that connect, support, or surround other structures and organs of the body, not being bone. Soft tissue includes tendons, ligaments, fascia, skin, fibrous tissues, fat, axilla, and synovial membranes (which are connective tissue), and muscles, nerves and blood vessels (which are not connective tissue).
[0033] The expression“absorbable material” when used herein means a material that may be absorbed by soft tissue such as skin and that may penetrate into the layers of the skin.
[0034] As used herein, the term“glycosaminoglycan” refers long unbranched polysaccharides consisting of a repeating disaccharide unit. The repeating unit (except for keratan) consists of an amino sugar (N-acetylglucosamine or N-acetylgalactosamine) along with a uronic sugar (glucuronic acid or iduronic acid) or galactose.
[0035] The present technology stems from results of experiments conducted in order to improve overall delivery of cannabinoids to deeper layers of the skin. The experiments performed demonstrated that the combination of cannabinoids with an absorbable material allows for a more efficient delivery of the cannabinoids to deeper layers of the skin.. [0036] Die present technology further stems from results of experiments conducted in order to validate the oral delivery of cannabinoids accordinging to embodiments of the present technology.

[0041] Depending on the combination of cannabis strains that the concentrated cannabis isolate or extract is obtained from, each batch of concentrated cannabis isolate or extract has a different CBD to THC ratio. Besides the CBD and THC content, concentrated cannabis isolate or extract used in the compositions of the present technology take into account the perceived psychoactive effects of the species of cannabis plants used, particularly cannabis indica.
[0042] As used herein, the expression“CBD:THC ratio” or“THC:CBD ratio” refers to the amount of CBD and THC that is comprised in any the compositions of the present technology. THC dominant options (0:1) will provide varying degrees of psychoactivity. A 1:3 ratio of CBD to THC results in a some psychoactivity while minimizing THC's unwanted side effects, producing a calming sensation with reduced anxiety, stress relief and exhibiting anti-inflammatory properties. This ratio can act an as advanced pain relievo- with the synergistic benefits CBD and THC provide. A ratio of equal parts CBD to THC (1:1) is considered highly effective for pain relief, anxiety, spasticity, fibromyalgia, insomnia, nausea and appetite stimulation. This ratio shows promise in relieving symptoms associated with Multiple Scloosis and may be able to kill certain cancer cells and inhibit tumor growth. Higher CBD options, such as 2:1 or 3:1, may be an ideal ratio for combating autoimmune disorders, gastrointestinal issues such as Crohn's and colitis, arthritis, and psoriasis with little to no psychoactivity. CBD dominant ratios of 25:1 or 1:0 offer no psychoactivity and may be most effective for curbing high anxiety, depression, seizures, psychosis, PTSD, and neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson's and Huntington's Disease.

ii) Absorbable Material
[0056] In certain embodiments, the absorbable material comprises a glycosaminoglycan. The absorbable material may comprise two or more different glycosaminoglycans (GAG). Members of the GAG family vary in the type of hexosamine, hexose or hexuronic acid unit they contain, such as, e.g., glucuronic acid, iduronic acid, galactose, galactosamine, glucosamine, and may also vary in the geometry of the glycosidic linkage. Non-limiting examples of glycosaminoglycans include chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, keratan sulfate, and hyaluronan. Non-limiting examples of an acceptable salt of a glycosaminoglycans includes sodium salts, potassium salts, magnesium salts, calcium salts, and combinations thereof.
[0057] In some implementations of these embodiments, the glycosaminoglycan is hyaluronic acid (HA) (sodium hyaluronate). In some instances, the HA is cross-linked HA. In some other instances, HA is non-cross-linked HA. The molecular weight of HA is proportional to the number of repeating disaccharides in the HA molecule, and is a determiningfactor in its rate of metabolization following oral administration, and topical absorption. More specificaly, High molecuar weight HA is metabolized slowly, compared to lower molecular weight HA, following consumption, and low molecular weight HA is absorbed faster through the skin, than high molecular weight HA. High molecular weight HA has a molecular weight of at least about 1.0 million Daltons (lxlO6 Da or 1
MDa) to about 4.0 MDa, whereas low molecular weight HA has a molecular weight of less than about 1.0 MDa. In some instances, the HA used in the compositions of the present technology has an average molecular weight of between about 5 kilo Daltons (kDa) and about 4.0 million Daltons (MDa), between about 5 kDa and about 1.5 MDa, between about 8 kDa and about 1.5 MDa, between about 80 kDa and about 1.5 MDa, between about 5 kDa and about 110 kDa, between about 8 kDa and about 110 kDa, between about 80 kDa and about 110 kDa, between about 5 kDa and about 1.0 MDa, between about 8 kDa and about 1.0 MDa, between about 100 kDa and about 1.5 MDa, or between about 1.0 MDa and about 1.5 MDa, or below about 110 kDa, or above about 80 kDa, or below about 1.5 MDa.
[0058] The hyaluronic acid may be about 0.01% to about 2%, about 0.01% to about 1%, about 0.1% to about 2%, about 2% to about 30%, about 2% to about 25%, about 2% to about 20%, about 2% to about 15%, about 2% to about 10%, about 2% to about 5%, 4% to about 30%, about 4% to about 25%, about 4% to about 20%, about 4% to about 15%, about 4% to about 10%, about 4% to about 5%, of the compositions of the present technology.

[0065] The topical compositions described herein can further include a skin penetrating enhancer or a mixture of skin penetration enhancers. A skin penetrating enhancer allows for the composition to pass through the epidermal layer and the dermal layer of the skin to reach the adipose tissue that underlies the skin wherein adipocytes are increased in number and/or size. This may be accomplished by a number of different mechanisms including, for example, by extracting lipids from the stratum comeum, increasing the partitioning of the active ingredients into the skin, and disrupting the lipid bilayer of the stratum comeum, thus rendering the stratum comeum structure more fluid and increasing the ability of the composition including the cannabinoids to diffuse through the stratum comeum. Suitable skin penetrating enhancers can be, for example, sulfoxides, alcohols, fatty acids, fatty acid esters, polyols, amides, surfactants, terpenes, alkanones, and organic acids, among others. Specific examples of suitable sulfoxides include dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and decylmethylsulfoxide, among others. Suitable alcohols include alkanols such as ethanol, propanol, butanol, pentanol, hexanol, octanol, n-octanol, nonanol, decanol, 2-butanol, 2-pentanol, and benzyl alcohol; fatty alcohols, such as caprylic alcohol, decyl alcohol, lauryl alcohol, 2-lauryl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, oleyl alcohol, linoleyl alcohol, and linolenyl alcohol; and isopropyl alcohol.

Examples of suitable fatty acid esters include aliphatic fatty acid esters such as isopropyl n-butyrate, isopropyl n-hexanoate, isopropyl n-decanoate, isopropyl myristate, isopropyl palmitate, and octyldodecyl myristate; alkyl fatty acid esters such as ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, methyl acetate, methylvalerate, methylpropionate, diethyl sebacate, and ethyl oleate; and diisopropyl adipate and dimethyl isosorbide. Examples of suitable polyols include propylene glycol, butylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, ethoxydiglycol, pentylene glycol, glycerol, propanediol, butanediol, pentanediol, hexanetriol, and glycerin.

[0066] The compositions of the present technology may include from about 0.001% (by weight of the composition) to about 25% (by weight of the composition) of a skin penetration enhancer, including from about 0.1% (by weight of the composition) to about 15% (by weight of the composition) of a skin penetration enhancer, and including from about 1% (by weight of the composition) to about 10% (by weight of the composition) of a skin penetration enhancer.
[0067] Optionally, the compositions may be formulated with a polar co-solvent to further increase the permeability of the composition into the skin. Preferably, the polar co-solvent is fully miscible in the composition, and has a high affinity for the intercellular spaces in the stratum comeum. Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, it is believed that polar co-solvents with such characteristics are driven by osmosis into the intercellular spaces in the stratum comeum, causing the stratum comeum to swell. In such a swollen state, the intercellular spaces are more liquid-like and disordered, which enables the composition to more easily diffuse through the stratum comeum. Examples of suitable polar co-solvents for inclusion in the compositions of the present technology include glycerin, propanediol, ethanol, propylene glycol, butanol, isopropanol, propanol, dimethyl isosorbide, butylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, ethoxydiglycol, pentylene glycol, and combinations thereof.
[0068] The compositions of the present technology may include from about 0.001% (by weight of the composition) to about 99% (by weight of the composition) of a polar co-solvent, including from about 0.01% (by weight of the composition) to about 75% (by weight of the composition) of a polar co-solvent, including from about 0.1% (by weight of the composition) to about 50% (by weight of the composition) of a polar co-solvent, including from about 1% (by weight of the composition) to about 25% (by weight of the composition) of a polar co-solvent, including from about 2% (by weight of the composition) to about 15% (by weight of the composition) of a polar cosolvent, and including from about 2.5% (by weight of the composition) to about 10% (by weight of the composition) of a polar co-solvent.
[0069] The composition can further include other known collagen, elastin, and extracellular matrix-stimulating ingredients. Collagen is a protein found in the connective tissue of the skin and other tissues of the body.

Suitable vasodilators can be, for example, glyceryl trinitrate, resveratrol, caffeine, ginger extract, ginseng and other botanical extracts such as, for example, hawthorn, mint, ivy, coffee and tea.
[0071] The compositions can further include a skin soothing agent. As used herein,“skin soothing agent” refers to compounds that reduce or prevent skin irritation. Skin irritation can result from loss of moisture, a change in pH, sweat, contact dermatitis from perfumes, powders, laundry detergent from clothing, and other compounds. Skin soothing agents can reduce irritation by neutralizing an irritant, down-regulating inflammatory cascades in the skin, and/or providing a protective layer on the skin. Suitable skin soothing agents can be, for example, botanical extracts such as calendula, chamomile, aloe, comfrey, coneflower, allantoin, bisabolol, panthenol, beta- glucan, colloidal oatmeal, or the like.

[0091] Furthermore, without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that, in some embodiments, the compositions of the present technology facilitate delivery of the cannabinoids into the layers of the skin. In particular, in certain embodiments, it is believed that the absorbable material, present in the composition, facilitates absorption of the cannabinoids by the skin. The absorbable material therefore acts as a delivery vehicle for the cannabinoids to the various layers of the skin.
[0092] As such, in some embodiments, the methods disclosed herein are directed to a subset of the general population such that, in these embodiments, not all of the general population may benefit from the methods. Based on the foregoing, because some of the method embodiments of the present technology are directed to specific subsets or subclasses of identified subjects (that is, the subset or subclass of subject“in need” of assistance in addressing one or more specific conditions noted herein), not all subjects will fall within the subset or subclass of subjects as described herein.
[0093] The compositions of the present technology can be applied to the target skin region
(e.g., face, neck, ears, scalp, arms, hands, legs, feet, etc.) by any suitable delivery vehicle. For example, the composition can be applied as a lotion, as a wash, as a gel, as a salve, as an ointment, as a cream, as a solid stick, as a paste, as a balm, as a serum and as a foam. Additionally, the composition can be applied with a wipe, with mitts and gloves, using an aerosol dispenser, using a pump spray, using a trigger spray, using a squeeze bottle, and using a mask (having a composition of the present technology applied on a surface thereof).
[0094] The compositions of the present technology can be applied daily, every other day, every couple of days, every week, every month, and every year, as desired. The compositions can be applied multiple times pa- day (e.g., at least twice, at least three times, at least four times, etc.), multiple times per week and/or multiple times per month.
[0095] In some embodiments, the compositions of the present disclosure can be used with additional skin care compositions as part of a skin care regimen. For example, in facial treatment and care, users typically use multiple products for cleansing, toning, and treating the skin of the face. Accordingly, the first product comprises a first composition typically capable of providing a first benefit to a user, and the second product comprises a second composition typically capable of providing a second benefit to a user. In the present disclosure, it should be understood that at least one of the products of the regimen includes the compositions of the present technology, thereby at least providing the benefit of reducing signs of skin aging.
[0096] In one embodiment, the compositions of the present technology are formulated and/or prepared for topical administration or topical application. The compositions suitable for topical application may be in the form of, for example, a cream, a lotion, a cosmetic serum, a solution, a gel, an ointment, a paste, a bioadhesive, a powder or the like. They may also be prepared so as to comprise nanosized materials such as liposomes, micelles, nanoparticles, nanoemulsions , polymeric suspensions, microparticles and/or microspheres (or any other encapsulation systems) according to known methods and techniques in the art. Nanosized materials are often used as skin penetrating enhancers, as they are reported to enhance skin penetration compared to larger particles, and are more likely to penetrate the stratum comeum.
[0097] In some embodiments, the nanosized material may comprise HA polymeric micelles. HA is a biodegradable polymer, and thereby minizes the risk of non-biodegradable foreign particle accumulation in the body following penetration in the skin, when used as polymer in the formation of nanosized materials. Furthermore, HA is naturally present in both the epidermis and dermis, and constitutes a large fraction of the extracellular matrix of the skin. As such, HA is considered to represent an ideal candidate material in topical drug delivery, especially in skin drug delivery. The HA polymeric micelles may be formed by acylated derivates of HA with short and medium chain length. The HA polymeric micelles may be further loaded with other active substances, in accordance with their use, by known methods and techniques in the art.
[0098] In some implementations of this embodiment, the compositions are aqueous (i.e., comprise water) or are substantially non-aqueous (i.e., comprise trace amount of water) or are non- aqueous (i.e., do not comprise water). The compositions may also optionally be used in combination with an occlusive over layer so that moisture evaporating from the body surface is maintained within the composition upon application to the body surface and thereafter.
[0099] According to one implementation, the compositions are prepared as creams. Creams, as well known in the art, are viscous liquids or semi-solid emulsions that are divided into two types: oil-in-water (O/W) creams which are composed of small droplets of oil disposed in a continuous phase, and water-in-oil (W/O) creams which are composed of small droplets of water dispersed in a continuous oily phase. Oil-in-water creams are less greasy and more easily washed off using water. Water-in-oil creams are typically more moisturizing as they provide an oily barrier which reduces water loss from the stratum comeum, the outermost layo of the skin.
[00100] According to another implementation, the compositions are prepared as lotion. Lotions are preparations to be applied to the skin surface without friction, and are typically liquid or semi liquid preparations in which solid particles, including the active agent, are present in a water or alcohol base. Lotions are usually suspensions of solids.
[00101] According to another implementation, the compositions are prepared as pastes. Pastes are semisolid dosage forms in which the active agent is suspended in a suitable base. Depending on the nature of the base, pastes are divided between fatty pastes or those made from a single-phase aqueous gel.
[00102] According to another implementation, the compositions are prepared as ointments. Ointments are semisolid preparations that are typically based on petrolatum or other petroleum derivatives. The specific ointment base to be used, as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, is one that will provide for optimum treatment of the skin, for improving appearance of the skin.
[00103] According to another implementation, the compositions are prepared as gels. As will be appreciated by those working in the field of formulation, gels are semisolid, suspension-type systems. Single-phase gels contain organic macromolecules distributed substantially uniformly throughout the carrier liquid, which is typically aqueous, but also, preferably, contain an alcohol and, optionally, oil.
[00104] Examples of skin areas that can be treated and/or that may be applied with the compositions of the present technology include but are not limited to, the skin of the face (e.g., forehead, cheeks, eyelids, contour of the eyes, jaw line, chin, nose, ears, etc.), the skin of the neck, the skin of upper torso, the skin of the arms, skin of the legs, skin of the feet, skin of the hands, skin of the elbows, skin of the knees, etc. The compositions of the present technology may also be applied to other integuments of a subject such as on hair and on nail.
[00105] The methods of the present technology generally comprise applying an effective amount of the compositions defined herein onto an area of an integument of a subject in need thereof. The expression“effective amount”, as used herein, unless otherwise specified, refers to an amount effective and for periods of time necessary, to achieve the desired cosmetic result. An effective amount of the skin stem cells activator agent noted herein may vary according to factors such as, the desired cosmetic effect, the desired appearance of the skin, age and sex of the subject, skin health, skin damage, dryness of the skin, overall health of the subject, etc. The number of applications of the compositions on the skin pa- day may be adjusted to provide the optimum response. An effective amount is also one in which any detrimental effects are outweighed by the beneficial effects.
[00106] As used herein, the term“treated” designates an area of an integument of a subject (e.g. skin, nails, hair) onto which the compositions as defined herein have been applied. Before being “treated” these areas are generally in need of skin care and/or in need of appearance improvement, an increase in firmness, an increase in elasticity, an increase in hydration, a decrease in wrinkle depth, and/or wherein the epidermis is in need of activation, rejuvenation, vitalization, growth, repair, and/or regeneration.
[00107] In particular, the present invention provides methods that have the potential of improving appearance of the skin, skin firmness, skin elasticity, skin moisture; the potential of reducing wrinkle depth, of promoting growth, repair, vitalization, regeneration and/or survival of the epidermis and/or epidermal stem cells and potentially the dermis and/or the dermal stem cells.
[00108] In some embodiments, the compositions and methods of the present disclosure promote skin rejuvenation. In certain other embodiments, the compositions and methods of the present disclosure may reduce, diminish, retard or even reverse one or more signs of skin aging including, but not limited to, appearance of fine lines or wrinkles, thin and transparent skin, loss of underlying fat (leading to hollowed cheeks and eye sockets as well as noticeable loss of firmness on the hands and neck), bone loss (such that bones shrink away from the skin due to bone loss, which causes sagging skin), dry skin (which might itch), inability to sweat sufficiently to cool the skin, unwanted facial hair, freckles, age spots, spider veins, rough and leathery skin, fine wrinkles that disappear when stretched, loose skin, or a blotchy complexion. In certain embodiments, the compositions and methods of the present disclosure may induce a reduction in pore size, enhance sculpturing of skin subsections, and/or enhance skin translucence. [00109] In some embodiments, the compositions of the present technology are used in a method for preventing and/or treating acne. The method comprising an effective amount of a composition as defined herein to an area of a subject afflicted with acne. As used herein,“acne” means a disorder of the skin caused by inflammation of skin glands or hair follicles. The compositions and methods of the disclosure can be used to treat acne at early pre-emergent stages or lata- stages where lesions from acne are visible. Mild, moderate and severe acne can be treated with embodiments of the compositions and methods. Early pre-emergent stages of acne usually begin with an excessive secretion of sebum or dermal oil from the sebaceous glands located in the pilosebaceous apparatus. Sebum reaches the skin surface through the duct of the hair follicle. The presence of excessive amounts of sebum in the duct and on the skin tends to obstruct or stagnate the normal flow of sebum from the follicular duct, thus producing a thickening and solidification of the sebum to create a solid plug known as a comedone. In the normal sequence of developing acne, hyperkeratinazation of the follicular opening is stimulated, thus completing blocking of the duct. The usual results are papules, pustules, or cysts, often contaminated with bacteria, which cause secondary infections. Acne is characterized particularly by the presence of comedones, inflammatory papules, or cysts. The appearance of acne may range from slight skin irritation to pitting and even the development of disfiguring scars. Accordingly, the compositions and methods of the present disclosure can be used to treat one or more of skin irritation, pitting, development of scars, comedones, inflammatory papules, cysts, hyperkeratinazation, and thickening and hardening of sebum associated with acne. The compositions and methods of the present disclosure may be used to treat various types of acne.
Some types of acne include, for example, acne vulgaris, cystic acne, acne atrophica, bromide acne, chlorine acne, acne conglobata, acne cosmetica, acne detergicans, epidemic acne, acne estivalis, acne fulminans, halogen acne, acne indurata, iodide acne, acne keloid, acne mechanica, acne papulosa, pomade acne, premenstral acne, acne pustulosa, acne scorbutica, acne scrofulosorum, acne urticata, acne varioliformis, acne venenata, propionic acne, acne excoriee, gram negative acne, steroid acne, and nodulocystic acne.
