Tri-tightening skin care formulation and related methods

Abstract

The present invention provides for a method or process for manufacturing a formulation comprising: admixing at least one hydrophilic polymer, at least one desquamatory agent and alpha hydroxyl acid.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A formulation manufactured by a process comprising:
 providing at least one hydrophilic polymer, at least one desquamatory agent and alpha hydroxyl acid;   increasing the molecular weight of said hydrophilic polymer;   crosslinking said hydrophilic polymer;   increasing the molecular weight of said alpha hydroxyl acid; and   admixing said hydrophilic polymer, said desquamatory agent and said alpha hydroxyl acid to make a formulation.   
     
     
         2 . The process of  claim 1  further comprising admixing water. 
     
     
         3 . The process of  claim 1  wherein said hydrophilic polymer is selected from a group consisting essentially of polyglutamic acid (PGA), crosslinked polyglutamic acid, crosslinked hyaluronic acid, cross-linked poly lactic acid, and combination and mixtures thereof. 
     
     
         4 . The process of  claim 1  wherein said desquamatory agent is selected from a group consisting essentially of N-acetyl glucosamine (NAG), glucosamine, glucosamine hydrochloride and combination and mixtures thereof. 
     
     
         5 . The process of  claim 1  wherein said alpha hydroxyl acid is selected from a group consisting essentially of mandelic acid, and combination and mixtures thereof. 
     
     
         6 . The process of  claim 1  wherein said hydrophilic polymer is from about 0.05% to about 0.3%, said desquamatory agent is from about 0.05% to about 40% and said alpha hydroxyl acid is from about 0.05% to about 30% of the formulation. 
     
     
         7 . The process of  claim 1  wherein said formulation can be used as a product selected from a group consisting of skin care products, cosmetics, cosmeceuticals, pharmaceuticals and nutriceuticals. 
     
     
         8 . The process of  claim 1  wherein said formulation is designed to be combined with other components and ingredients to form a product selected from a group consisting of skin care products, cosmetics, cosmeceuticals, pharmaceuticals and nutriceuticals. 
     
     
         9 . The process of  claim 1  further comprising admixing at least one activator selected from a group consisting essentially of Water, Glycerin, Glycols, Polyols, Polyglutamic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, and combination and mixtures thereof. 
     
     
         10 . The process of  claim 1  further comprising admixing preservatives, flavoring and coloring agents. 
     
     
         11 . A method of manufacturing a formulation, said method comprising:
 providing at least one hydrophilic polymer, at least one desquamatory agent and alpha hydroxyl acid;   increasing the molecular weight of said hydrophilic polymer;   crosslinking said hydrophilic polymer;   increasing the molecular weight of said alpha hydroxyl acid; and   admixing said hydrophilic polymer, said desquamatory agent and said alpha hydroxyl acid to make a formulation.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11  further comprising admixing water. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11  wherein said hydrophilic polymer is selected from a group consisting essentially of polyglutamic acid (PGA), crosslinked polyglutamic acid, crosslinked hyaluronic acid, cross-linked poly lactic acid, and combination and mixtures thereof. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11  wherein said desquamatory agent is selected from a group consisting essentially of N-acetyl glucosamine (NAG), glucosamine, glucosamine hydrochloride and combination and mixtures thereof. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 11  wherein said alpha hydroxyl acid is selected from a group consisting essentially of mandelic acid, and combination and mixtures thereof. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 11  wherein said hydrophilic polymer is from about 0.05% to about 0.3%, said desquamatory agent is from about 0.05% to about 40% and said alpha hydroxyl acid is from about 0.05% to about 30% of the formulation. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 11  wherein said formulation can be used as a product selected from a group consisting of skin care products, cosmetics, cosmeceuticals, pharmaceuticals and nutriceuticals. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 11  wherein said formulation is designed to be combined with other components and ingredients to form a product selected from a group consisting of skin care products, cosmetics, cosmeceuticals, pharmaceuticals and nutriceuticals. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 11  further comprising admixing at least one activator selected from a group consisting essentially of Water, Glycerin, Glycols, Polyols, Polyglutamic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, and combination and mixtures thereof. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 11  further comprising admixing preservatives, flavoring and coloring agents.
