Topical compositions and methods of using the same
View Patent ↗The present invention generally relates to topical compositions and methods of using the same. The topical compositions may comprise a hydrophilic composition and a hydrophobic composition in admixture. The hydrophobic composition may include a nitric oxide-releasing compound such as, for example, a diazeniumdiolate functionalized co-condensed silica particle. In some embodiments, the topical composition may be self-emulsifying. Further described herein are kits comprising a hydrophilic composition and a hydrophobic composition.
