A composition that includes at least two of: echinochrome A (2-ethyl-3,5,6,7,8-pentahydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone); spinochrome A (2-acetyl-3,5,6,8-tetrahydroxy-1,4-naphthalenedione); spinochrome B (2,3,5,7-tetrahydroxy-1,4-naphthalenedione); spinochrome C (2-acetyl-3,5,6,7,8-pentahydroxy-1,4-naphthalenedione); spinochrome D (2,3,5,6,8-Pentahydroxy-1,4-naphthalenedione); and spinochrome E (hexahydroxy-1,4-naphthalenedione). The composition can include one or more additional active ingredients (e.g., vitamin, tretinoin (alltrans retinoic acid or ATRA), a glycosaminoglycan (GAG), dermal filler, Botulinum toxin, etc.) and/or one or more inactive ingredients (e.g., solvent, carrier, gelling agent, coloring agent, etc.). The composition can be in a dry, solid form (e.g., powder), or in a liquid form. Additionally, each of the above components above can independently be present in the composition in either the naturally derived form, or in a synthetically prepared form. |
