6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one glycerol-sebacate component is applied for the purpose of altering an expression of at least one gene in skin after application of the dermocosmetic composition to the skin surface.
7 . A dermocosmetic composition comprising:
at least one additive comprising at least one active ingredient; and
at least one glycerol-sebacate component having repeating units of (glycerol sebacate).
8 . The dermocosmetic composition of claim 7 , wherein the at least one additive is covalently attached to the at least one glycerol-sebacate component.
9 . The dermocosmetic composition of claim 7 , wherein the at least one additive is selected from the group consisting of cholesterol, a small chain fatty acid, a glycolic acid, a lactic acid, arbutin, vitamin B, vitamin D, estrogen, an antioxidant, lauric acid, an amino acid, magnesium oxide, decanoic acid, retinoic acid, nicotinamide, B-carotene, resveratrol, a natural light-active compound, a radical-active compound, and combinations thereof.
10 . The dermocosmetic composition of claim 7 , wherein the at least one active ingredient is selected from the group consisting of an alpha-hydroxy acid, a beta-hydroxy acid, salicylic acid, citric acid, a curcuminoid, hydroquinone, kojic acid, retinol, L-ascorbic acid, hyaluronic acid, copper peptide, alpha-lipoic acid, niacinamide, a ceramide, a peptide, vitamin E, dimethylaminoethanol, and combinations thereof.
11 . The dermocosmetic composition of claim 7 , wherein the at least one glycerol-sebacate component is selected from the group consisting of poly(glycerol sebacate), oligomeric (glycerol sebacate), and thermoset poly(glycerol sebacate) flour.
12 . The dermocosmetic composition of claim 7 further comprising water, a co-solvent, and a component selected from the group consisting of an emulsifier, a surfactant, a bodying agent, and combinations thereof.
13 . The dermocosmetic composition of claim 7 , wherein the at least one glycerol-sebacate component forms a matrix of the dermocosmetic composition.
14 . A method of forming a skin care product comprising:
combining at least one additive comprising at least one active ingredient with at least one glycerol-sebacate component having repeating units of (glycerol sebacate), water, a co-solvent, and a component selected from the group consisting of an emulsifier, a surfactant, a bodying agent, and combinations thereof.
15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the combining further comprises covalently attaching the at least one additive to the at least one glycerol-sebacate component.
16 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the at least one additive is selected from the group consisting of cholesterol, a small chain fatty acid, a glycolic acid, a lactic acid, arbutin, vitamin B, vitamin D, estrogen, an antioxidant, lauric acid, an amino acid, magnesium oxide, decanoic acid, retinoic acid, nicotinamide, B-carotene, resveratrol, a natural light-active compound, a radical-active compound, and combinations thereof.
17 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the at least one active ingredient is selected from the group consisting of an alpha-hydroxy acid, a beta-hydroxy acid, salicylic acid, citric acid, a curcuminoid, hydroquinone, kojic acid, retinol, L-ascorbic acid, hyaluronic acid, copper peptide, alpha-lipoic acid, niacinamide, a ceramide, a peptide, vitamin E, dimethylaminoethanol, and combinations thereof.
