Compositions containing peptides with non-natural amino acids and methods of use
View Patent ↗The invention relates generally to peptides comprising one or more non-natural amino acids residues and their use in cosmetic and personal care compositions.
1. A method of ameliorating or preventing signs of human skin aging comprising topically applying to the skin a cosmetic composition comprising a peptide having the sequence KavaK and the structure:
2. A cosmetic composition comprising a peptide and a cosmetically acceptable vehicle, wherein said peptide has the sequence KavaK and the structure:
3. The cosmetic composition of claim 2 , wherein said peptide is present in an amount from 1 ppb to 10,000 ppm.
4. A method for treating, ameliorating, and/or preventing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles comprising topically applying to skin in need thereof, a cosmetic composition comprising a peptide having the sequence KavaK and the structure:
in an amount effective to increase fibronectin levels in skin cells.
5. A method of ameliorating or preventing signs of human skin aging comprising topically applying to the skin a cosmetic composition comprising Palmitoyl Lysyl Aminovaleroyl Lysine.
6. A method for treating, ameliorating, and/or preventing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles comprising topically applying to skin in need thereof a cosmetic composition comprising Palmitoyl Lysyl Aminovaleroyl Lysine in an amount effective to increase fibronectin levels in skin cells.
7. A cosmetic composition comprising Palmitoyl Lysyl Aminovaleroyl Lysine and a cosmetically acceptable vehicle.
8. The cosmetic composition of claim 6 , wherein said Palmitoyl Lysyl Aminovaleroyl Lysine is present in an amount from 1 ppb to 10,000 ppm.
