Abstract

A composition and method for treatment of skin. The composition comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier containing a bilayer component having one or more polar terminus groups and one or more non-polar terminus groups separated from said polar terminus groups capable of penetrating the outer surface of the skin to form an aligned bilayer within the stratum corneum. The bilayer assists in the formation of bilayer lamellae that is believed to replicate the bilayer lamellae present in healthy skin. The composition is topically applied to the skin as often as is required.
