Cosmetic Compositions Comprising Cyanodiphenylacrylates

Abstract

A composition comprising at least one α-cyanodiphenylacrylate and inactivated bacterial lysates of Bifido bacterium.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A topical composition comprising at least one α-cyanodiphenylacrylate and inactivated bacterial lysates of  Bifido  bacterium. 
     
     
         2 . The composition of  claim 1  wherein the α-cyanodiphenylacrylate has the general formula: 
       
         
           
           
               
               
           
         
       
       wherein R 1  and R 2  are each independently straight or branched chain C 1-30  alkoxy; any non-alkoxy R 1  or R 2  radical is hydrogen; and R 3  is a straight or branched chain C 1-30  alkyl. 
     
     
         3 . The composition of  claim 4  wherein R 1  and R 2  are each independently C 1-8 , and any non-alkoxy radical R 1  or R 2  is hydrogen; and R 3  is a straight of branched chain C 2-20  alkyl. 
     
     
         4 . The composition of  claim 5  wherein R1 and R2 are each independently methoxy, and any non-methoxy R 1  or R 2  is hydrogen; and R 3  is a C 2-20  alkyl. 
     
     
         5 . The composition of  claim 1  wherein the α-cyanodiphenylacrylate is ethylhexylmethoxycrylene. 
     
     
         6 . The composition of  claim 1  wherein the inactivated bacterial lysate of  Bifido  bacterium is fermented. 
     
     
         7 . The composition of  claim 1  wherein the inactivated bacterial lysate of  Bifido  bacterium is  Bifida  lysate. 
     
     
         8 . The composition of  claim 6  wherein the fermented inactivated bacterial lysate of  Bifido  bacterium is  Bifida  ferment lysate. 
     
     
         9 . The composition of  claim 1  additionally comprising at least one DNA repair enzyme. 
     
     
         10 . The composition of  claim 9  wherein the DNA repair enzyme is selected from the group consisting of  Lactobacillus  ferment,  Arabidopsis thaliana  extract,  Micrococcus  lysate, and mixtures thereof.
