Abstract
A skin cream composition according to the present invention provides significant retexturization of the skin, producing significantly improved smoothness, as well as significantly minimizing age spots and improving color of the skin, together with increasing the firmness and moisture content of the skin. The composition also reduces the extent of sebum and/or oil on the skin. The composition can comprise: water, and emulsified and dispersed in the water: (1) sodium lactate; (2) a long-chain fatty acid ester of ascorbic acid; (3) a short-chain carboxylic acid ester of tocopherol; (4) witch hazel; and (5) horsetail extract. The sodium lactate, the ascorbic acid ester, the tocopherol ester, the witch hazel, and the horsetail extract are each present in a quantity sufficient to increase the smoothness and/or firmness and to diminish the oiliness of skin to which the composition is applied. The composition can also contain an active metabolite complex of polysaccharides and peptides extracted from a bacterial culture medium as an additional, optional, cosmetic component. The composition can also comprise additional, ancillary, components.
