Abstract

Disclosed are compositions and methods for their use that include a combination of hydrolyzed algin, escin, Ruscus aculeatus root extract, ammonium glycyrrhizate, Centella asiatica extract, hydrolyzed yeast protein, and Calendula officinalis flower extract.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method of treating erythemic skin of a human in need thereof, the method comprising topically applying to the erythemic skin of said human in need thereof a composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of:
(a) hydrolyzed algin;
(b) escin;
(c) Ruscus aculeatus root extract;
(d) ammonium glycyrrhizate;
(e) Centella asiatica extract;
(f) hydrolyzed yeast protein; and
(g) Calendula officinalis flower extract.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition reduces pro-inflamatory cytokine productin in the skin, and wherein the pro-inflammatory cytokine is TNF-a, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12 p40, or GM-CSF.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising between 80 to 90% by weight of water.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said composition comprises:
(a) 0.005 to 0.05% by weight of hydrolyzed algin;
(b) 0.001 to 0.05% by weight of escin;
(c) 0.001 to 0.01% by weight of Ruscus aculeatus root extract;
(d) 0.001 to 0.01% by weight of ammonium glycyrrhizate;
(e) 0.0005 to 0.005% by weight of Centella asiatica extract;
(f) 0.0003 to 0.003% by weight of hydrolyzed yeast protein; and
