Anti-aging Skin Care Ingredient TechnologiesAnti-aging Skin Care Ingredient Technologies


	Core Messages The impact of bioactive skin care ingredient technology, pharmaceutical methods, and drug delivery systems have resulted in the development of cosmoleculars and the advancement of cosmeceuticals^TM in anti-aging skin care ingredient technology. Anti-aging skin care ingredients are assessed: antioxidants, hydroxy acids, beta glucans, minerals, peptides, and growth factors. Topical antioxidants have both protective and rejuvenation benefits. Currently under research and development are spin traps (phenyl butyl nitrone).

The past decade has witnessed the progression of the field of cosmeceuticals moving toward one of cosmoleculars^TM. The impact of advanced technologies as well as pharmaceutical methods and drug delivery systems has resulted in the field of cosmetic dermatology. This section will attempt to give the practitioner a base of current knowledge in the field of cosmetic dermatology. The skin care consumer has been faced with a literal flood of products into the marketplace designed to address various cosmetic concerns. As research and development of new bioactive ingredients and knowledge of existing ingredients continue to grow, and new technologies reflect increased stability and delivery of these ingredients to the skin, this trend will only continue to grow.
