According to one embodiment of the invention, there is a method for the utilization of adenosine 5′;-triphosphate (will be called ATP in the context) in the formulation of a topical skin care composition. The method includes the step of topical delivery methods of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) that is used to feed exogenous mitochondria in the skin cell to turn on this molecular battery. Thus the skin cells activated/stimulated to generate even more energy.
