Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods for decreasing harmful effects of blue light on skin are disclosed that include topically administering to a subject in need thereof a composition of an effective quantity of a purified, enzymatic hydrolysate of Theobroma cacao L. beans comprising peptides and saccharides having a molecular weight between 200 Da and 10 kDa in a physiologically acceptable medium. The hydrolysate of Theobroma cacao L. beans is present in the composition at a concentration from 0.001 to 20% with respect to the total weight of the composition. The composition can be a cosmetic composition.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for decreasing harmful effects of blue light on skin, the method comprising: topically administering to a subject in need thereof a composition comprising; an effective quantity of a purified, enzymatic hydrolysate of Theobroma cacao L. beans comprising peptides and saccharides having a molecular weight between 200 Da and 10 kDa, and a physiologically acceptable medium. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the hydrolysate of Theobroma cacao L. beans is present in the composition at a concentration from 0.001 to 20% with respect to the total weight of the composition. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition is a cosmetic composition. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein topically administering comprises application two times per day. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition reduces cellular reactive oxygenated species generated by exposure of skin to blue light. 6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the concentration of the hydrolysate of Theobroma cacao L. beans is from 0.1 to 10% with respect to the total weight of the composition. 7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the concentration of the hydrolysate of Theobroma cacao L. beans is from 0.2 to 5% with respect to the total weight of the composition. 8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the concentration of the hydrolysate of Theobroma cacao L. beans is from 0.5 to 1.5% with respect to the total weight of the composition. 9. A method for decreasing harmful effects of blue light, improving the barrier function, and decreasing the appearance of the signs of aging and photoaging of the skin, the method comprising: topically administering to a subject in need thereof a composition comprising; an effective quantity of a purified, enzymatic hydrolysate of Theobroma cacao L. beans comprising peptides and saccharides having a molecular weight between 200 Da and 10 kDa, and a physiologically acceptable medium. 10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the hydrolysate of Theobroma cacao L. beans is present in the composition at a concentration from 0.001 to 20% with respect to the total weight of the composition. 11. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the composition is a cosmetic composition. 12. The method according to claim 9 , wherein topically administering comprises application two times per day. 13. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the composition reduces cellular reactive oxygenated species generated by exposure of skin to blue light. 14. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the concentration of the hydrolysate of Theobroma cacao L. beans is from 0.1 to 10% with respect to the total weight of the composition. 15. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the concentration of the hydrolysate of Theobroma cacao L. beans is from 0.2 to 5% with respect to the total weight of the composition. 16. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the concentration of the hydrolysate of Theobroma cacao L. beans is from 0.5 to 1.5% with respect to the total weight of the composition.
