ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to skin conditioners and more particularly to a skin conditioner made of all natural ingredients that eliminates body dandruff and provides the user with skin like an angel.
The skin is the largest organ in the human body. It is a protective organ covering the external surface of the body. The skin forms a protective barrier against the action of physical, chemical, and bacterial agents on the deeper tissues and contains the special sensitive end organs for the sense of touch. Through the activity of its sweat glands and blood vessels, it also plays an important role in maintaining body temperature. One square inch of skin contains up to 15 feet of blood vessels, which have as one of their functions the regulation of body temperature. Each square inch of skin also contains hundreds of sweat glands that are controlled by a heat regulation center in the brain. These glands secrete moisture, which evaporates, cools the body surface, and helps maintain normal body temperature. In this capacity the skin acts as an excretory organ. The skin is elastic, and except for a few areas such as the palms, soles, and ears, is loosely attached to the underlying tissues. The skin varies in thickness from 0.02 inches (in.) on the eyelids to 0.17 in. or more on the palms and soles.
In structure the skin is composed of two distinct layers. The outer layer, called the epidermis is several cells thick and has an external, horny layer of dead cells that are constantly shedding from the surface. The dead cells, sometimes referred to as body dandruff, are replaced by new cells from a lower basal layer of cells called the stratum germinativum. The inner layer, called the dermis, is composed of a network of collagen and elastic fibers, blood vessels, nerves, fat lobules, and the bases of hair follicles and sweat glands.
Sweat glands are found on every part of the body. They are numerous on the palms and soles but relatively sparse on the skin of the back. Each gland consists of coiled tubules that are situated in the subcutaneous tissue and a duct that extends through the dermis and forms a convoluted spiral through the epidermis. Sebaceous glands, saclike glands that secrete the sebum that lubricates and softens the skin, open into the hair follicles a short distance below the surface of the epidermis.
In order to maintain the elasticity of the skin and supplement the work done by the sebaceous glands many people regularly apply man made conditioners to their skin. Maintaining the proper functioning of the skin is important in regards to preventing pre-mature aging and regulating body temperature. One way to help the skin properly function is to aid in the removal of dead skin cells. Removal of dead skin cells not only prevents blockage of sweat and sebaceous glands but also promotes the production of healthy new skin cells. The present invention uses only natural ingredients to promote the growth of healthy new skin cells and maintain the proper functioning of the skin.
Salt, also known as sodium chloride, is a chemical compound that has the formula NaCl. Salts are characterized by ionic bonds, relatively high melting points, and a crystalline structure when in the solid state. Salt is widely distributed in nature. It is found in solution in ocean water in concentrations of about 4.08 oz./gallon of water and is the source of sea salt. Epsom salt is the common name for a colorless or white crystalline salt, magnesium sulfate hepta-hydrate, MgSO

O, found in the minerals kieserite and epsomite and in mineral waters. Epsom salt was first prepared at Epsom, England. The salt has a bitter taste. It is used in medicine as a cathartic and in hypertonic baths to reduce swelling.
Almond is the common name for a small tree of the rose family and for the kernel of its fruit. The tree is characterized by the coarsely furrowed and wrinkled shell of the drupe and by the young leaves that have their sides folded along the central vein. The almond tree grows up to 30 ft. high and is native to western Asia and southern Europe and is cultivated in the United States. The almond is valued chiefly for its nut, which is an important article of commerce. Varieties are classified as either sweet or bitter. Sweet almonds contain a large quantity of a bland, fixed oil. Sweet almonds have an agreeable taste and are nutritious. The long almonds of Málaga, Spain, known as Jordan almonds, and the broad almonds of Valencia, Spain, are the most valued.
Apricot is the common name for a tree of the rose family native to eastern Asia, and for its fruit. The tree is small, with heart-shaped leaves on long stalks. The fruit, which resembles the peach, is roundish, downy, yellow, and sometimes ruddy on one side, with yellow flesh. More than 20 kinds of apricots are distinguished. The fruit, somewhat smaller than a peach, is known for its delicate flavor. It is marketed fresh, as well as dried and packed. Large quantities are canned or pulped for jam making. California and Oregon are the leading producers in the United States.
Avocado, also known as alligator pear, is the common name for a tree native to tropical America, and for the fruit of this tree. The fruit is a greenish, thick-skinned drupe, similar in size and shape to a large pear. When ripe, the flesh has the consistency of firm butter and a faint nutlike flavor. It has a high fat content, containing 10 to 20 percent oil, and is rich in protein. In the United States avocado is popular as a salad vegetable, and in the tropics it is often used in soup. The tree is extensively cultivated in the southern United States and California.
Jojoba is the common name for the plant family Spurge, and for its only member, a shrub that is under development as a crop for semiarid lands. Found in the United States-Mexican Sonoran Desert, the jojoba is valued for the oil derived from its seeds, which are about 50 percent oil by weight. At present the oil is mainly used for lotions, shampoos, and conditioners, but it has potential for lubricants and other applications, including substitution for vegetable oil in food and, in hydrogenated form, for waxes and candles. The plant grows to about 20 ft. high and takes about 10 years to develop fully. Plantations that grow jojoba now exist in Arizona, California, Mexico, several Mideastern nations, Ghana, and Australia.
Aloe is the common name and genus of plants with more than 150 species, most native to South Africa. They usually have short stems, fleshy, lanceolate leaves crowded in rosettes at the end of the stem, and red or yellow tubular flowers in dense clusters. Species vary in height from several inches to more than 30 ft. They are widely cultivated as garden and tub plants. Several species are commercially important as the source of the aloes used in medicine.
Castor oil is colorless or yellow to yellowish-brown and thick, oily liquid is obtained from the seeds of the castor-oil plant. Although it has a disagreeable taste, it is practically odorless. It is insoluble in water, but soluble in organic solvents. The medicinal oil is prepared from husked seeds. Unhusked seeds, the source of industrial castor oil, yield from 45 to 55 percent oil. The oil is pressed from the seeds and can be purified and bleached. In addition to its use as a simple purgative, castor oil is used as a plasticizer in nitrocellulose compositions, in cosmetics, and in insulation products.
Vitamin E was first isolated in a pure form in 1933 by Gladys Emerson, an American biochemist and nutritionist. Vitamin E is an essential nutrient for many vertebrate animals. It has been popularly advocated for a great variety of afflictions, but its exact role in the human body is still under research. Vitamin E is found in seed oils and wheat germ.
