First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1.

The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises between 80 to 90% by weight of water. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the composition comprises 0.005 to 0.05% by weight of hydrolyzed algin. 4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the composition comprises 0.001 to 0.05% by weight of escin, 0.001 to 0.01% by weight of Ruscus aculeatus root extract, 0.001 to 0.01% by weight of ammonium glycyrrhizate, 0.0005 to 0.005% by weight of Centella asiatica extract, 0.0003 to 0.003% by weight of hydrolyzed yeast protein, and 0.0003 to 0.003% by weight of Calendula officinalis flower extract. 5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the composition further comprises Opuntia tuna fruit extract. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises: 5 to 7% by weight of butylene glycol; 3 to 5% by weight of glycerin; 0.3 to 0.7% by weight of propylene glycol; 0.1 to 0.5% by weight of diazolidinyl urea; 0.1 to 0.5% by weight of PPG-5-ceteth-20; 0.1 to 0.5% by weight of methylparaben; 0.05 to 0.1% by weight of sodium citrate; 0.03 to 0.07% by weight of disodium EDTA; 0.03 to 0.07% by weight of buteth-3; 0.01 to 0.05% by weight of propylparaben; 0.01 to 0.05% by weight of citric acid; 0.01 to 0.05% by weight of sodium benzotriazolyl butylphenol sulfonate; and 0.01 to 0.05% by weight of panthenol. 7. A method of reducing CGRP production in skin cells and protecting skin from oxidative damage from free radicals comprising topically applying to skin in need thereof a composition comprising: glycerin; pentylene glycol; glycereth-26; propylene glycol; triethanolamine; acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer; diazolidinyl urea; hydroxyethylcellulose; sodium polyacrylate; methylparaben; disodium EDTA; butylene glycol; phenoxyethanol; caprylyl glycol; propylparaben; panthenol; and an effective amount of hydrolyzed algin, escin, Ruscus aculeatus root extract, ammonium glycyrrhizate, Centella asiatica extract, hydrolyzed yeast protein, and Calendula officinalis flower extract, wherein the composition is capable of reducing cytokine production, reducing CGRP production, and protecting skin from oxidative damage from free radicals, and wherein the skin is erythemic, sensitive, inflamed, dry, flaky, and/or itchy skin. 8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the composition comprises: 3 to 7% by weight of glycerin; 3 to 7% by weight of pentylene glycol; 1 to 3% by weight of glycereth-26; 0.3 to 0.7% by weight of propylene glycol; 0.3 to 0.7% by weight of triethanolamine; 0.1 to 0.5% by weight of acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer; 0.1 to 0.5% by weight of diazolidinyl urea; 0.1 to 0.5% by weight of hydroxyethylcellulose; 0.1 to 0.5% by weight of sodium polyacrylate; 0.1 to 0.5% by weight of methylparaben; 0.05 to 0.5% by weight of disodium EDTA; 0.05 to 0.1% by weight of butylene glycol; 0.03 to 0.07% by weight of phenoxyethanol; 0.03 to 0.07% by weight of caprylyl glycol; 0.01 to 0.05% by weight of propylparaben; and 0.01 to 0.05% by weight of panthenol. 9.
