ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to botanical compositions and, more specifically, to a botanical composition able to soothe the skin of dogs infected with “hotspots” and soothe the skin of humans irritated by eczema and/or psoriasis.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Numerous types of mixtures for soothing the skin have been provided in the prior art. For example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,830,913; 5,425,944; 5,814,031 and 5,916,573 all are illustrative of such prior art. While these units may be suitable for the particular purpose to which they address, they would not be as suitable for the purposes of the present invention as heretofore described.

Inventor: Jakob Harich
Issued: Aug. 20, 1974
A composition effective as a biocidal agent is prepared by adding 2-phenoxy-ethanol to a grapefruit derivative prepared by reacting the pulps of fresh grapefruit with an organic alcohol or keystone in the presence of a free radical initiator and then successively adding n-alkyl substituted dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride, isopropyl alcohol, and 1-(3-chloroallyl)-3,5,7-triaza-1-azonia-adamantane chloride. The filan composition is effective against a broad spectrum of gram positive and gram negative microorganisms.

Inventor: Jakob Harich
Issued: Jun. 20, 1995
A ground mixture (80:20 by weight) of dried grapefruit seeds and grapefruit pulp respectively is subjected to extraction using an equal amount by weight of glycerin. The resulting extract is an effective bactericide, fungicide, and virucide, and is expected to be particularly effective in the treatment of HIV infections.

This invention relates to a composition containing a hydrophobic solvent, a network polymer and a flow control agent which is useful in healing wounds. The composition of this invention may be applied directly to a wound to create a structured occlusive dressing. The dressings of this invention do not migrate, but maintain their integrity at skin temperature, and encourage the creation of a moist wound environment while protecting the wound in order to accelerate healing.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,916,573
Inventor: Samantha M. Spiers et al.
Issued: Jun. 29, 1999
A grape seed oil composition for topical application to the skin comprising: a) about 1 to about 99% by weight of grape seed oil; b) at least one hydrating agent; and c) water. Hydrating agents include vegetable glycerin, aloe-vera, and vegetable oils other than grapeseed oil, for example, vitamin E oil, jojoba oil, flaxseed oil, primrose oil and any other botanical oil. The grapeseed oil composition may further include at least one amino acid, for example, lysine and tyrosine.
SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to botanical compositions and, more specifically, to a botanical composition able to soothe the skin of dogs infected with “hotspots” and soothe the skin of humans irritated by eczema and/or psoriasis.
A primary object of the present invention is to provide a botanical composition for soothing skin that will overcome the shortcomings of prior art devices.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a botanical composition for soothing skin which is able to soothe the pain and discomfort associated with hotspots, e.g. lick granuloma, on dogs.
A yet further object of the present invention is to provide a botanical composition for soothing skin which is able to soothe the pain and discomfort associated with eczma and psoriasis on humans.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a botanical composition for soothing skin which is able to be easily applied to the affected area.
A still further object of the present invention is to provide a botanical composition for soothing skin which is in liquid form and able to be sprayed on the affected area.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a botanical composition for soothing skin including all natural elements combined in a mixture.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a botanical composition for soothing skin having a bitter taste to prevent animals from licking the composition off the affected area.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a botanical composition for soothing skin that is simple and easy to use.
A still further object of the present invention is to provide a botanical composition for soothing skin that is economical in cost to manufacture.
Additional objects of the present invention will appear as the description proceeds.
A botanical composition for soothing irritated skin and method of producing the composition. The composition includes 90-97% by weight aloe juice; 1-5% by weight grapefruit seed and pulp extract; and 1-5% by weight vegetable glycerine. The aloe juice, grapefruit seed and pulp extract and vegetable glycerine are mixed together to form a liquid mixture for application to and covering the irritated skin. The grapefruit seed and pulp extract preferably has a pH of 3. A fragrance may be added to the composition to provide a desired odor to the composition and oils may be added to the composition for use in hydrating the irritated skin on which the composition is applied. The composition is stored in a spray bottle for creating a mist of the composition when applying the composition to the irritated skin.
To the accomplishment of the above and related objects, this invention may be embodied in the form illustrated in the accompanying drawings, attention being called to the fact, however, that the drawings are illustrative only, and that changes may be made in the specific construction illustrated and described within the scope of the appended claims.
