ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
Cosmetic methods and compositions containing sulfonamide aromatic derivatives.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A frequent, undesirable skin condition is “oily skin,” the condition which results from the excessive amount of sebum on the skin. Sebum is skin oil which is produced by sebocytes (cells of the sebaceous glands in the skin) and is then secreted to the skin surface. Oily skin is associated with a shiny, undesirable appearance and a disagreeable tactile sensation. Oily skin affects various age groups. Cosmetic products which provide sebum control are highly desirable.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention includes, in its first aspect, a cosmetic composition comprising:
(i) from about 0.001% to about 50% of a substituted sulfonamide aromatic derivative
selected from the group consisting of compounds A through K as follows:
