Compositions comprising extracts of southernwood and an amine compound

Abstract

The present invention relates to compositions comprising a Southernwood extract and an amine compound, and methods treating skin with said compositions.

1 . A composition comprising a Southernwood extract and an amine compound of formula I or formula II shown below: 
       
         
           
           
               
               
           
         
         wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , and R 5  independently are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C 1 -C 6  alkyl, and C 1 -C 6  hydroxyalkyl; or a cosmetically-acceptable salt thereof. 
       
     
     
         2 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the amine compound is an amine compound of formula I. 
     
     
         3 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the amine compound is THPED. 
     
     
         4 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein said composition comprises from about 0.5% to about 10% of said Southernwood extract. 
     
     
         5 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein said composition comprises from about 0.25% to about 2.5% of said amine compound. 
     
     
         6 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein said composition comprises from about 0.25% to about 2% of said amine compound. 
     
     
         7 . The composition of  claim 3 , wherein said composition comprises from about 0.5% to about 10% of said Southernwood extract and from about 0.25% to about 2% of THPED. 
     
     
         8 . The composition of  claim 3 , wherein said composition comprises from about 0.5% to about 5% of said Southernwood extract and about 0.25% to about 2% of THPED. 
     
     
         9 . The composition of  claim 3 , wherein said Southernwood extract and said THPED are present in a weight ratio of about 0.5 to about 5. 
     
     
         10 . A method of treating visibly dry skin, which comprises topically applying to said visibly dry skin a composition comprising a Southernwood extract and an amine compound of formula I or formula II, shown below: 
       
         
           
           
               
               
           
         
       
       wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , and R 5  independently are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C 1 -C 6  alkyl, and C 1 -C 6  hydroxyalkyl; or a cosmetically-acceptable salt thereof. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein said visibly dry skin is xerotic skin. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein said skin is characterized by an eczematic disease state. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein said skin is characterized by a psoriatic disease state. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein said composition comprises from about 0.5% to about 10% of said Southernwood extract. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein said amine compound is THPED.
