Abstract

A method for increasing cellular viability in cells of keratin surfaces after exposure to UV light and/or detoxifying cells of debris that impedes healthy metabolic function by topically applying to the keratin surface a composition containing at least one autophagy activator and at least one DNA repair enzyme and a method for making a topical composition comprising the steps of (a) identifying an ingredient that activates cellular autophagy in keratinocyte cultures in vitro, and (b) formulating the ingredient into a topical composition in combination with at least one DNA repair enzyme.
