The pharmaceutical industry is continually expanding its efforts in order to provide infant topical preparations which will eliminate and prevent diaper rash, cracking, chapping, chaffing, redness and restore the skin to its natural healthy condition, thus the combinations of skin aggravating synthetic compositions employed continue to increase yearly.
Thus, synthetic surfactants, silicones, ammonia, alcohol's, solvents, acids, artificial colors, animal oils, mineral oils, petrolatum derivatives, fungicides, plant resins, oxides, plus cadmium, cobalt, lead, mercury, molybdenum, nickel, silver, tin, zinc and iron salts, nitrates, chlorides, and fragrances, and the like are being incorporated into the compositions of the cited prior art compositions that are supplied to stores and supermarkets.
It will be appreciated that the expansion and growth of the cited prior art has devolved into highly complex synthetic adjuvants for use in the formulations.
The problem with the use of the compositions of the cited prior art which make up the bulk of transdermal delivery systems are their chemical structures which are known to cause skin irritations.
Synthetic surfactants, silicones, ammonia, alcohol's, solvents, acids, artificial colors, animal oils, mineral oils, petrolatum derivatives, fungicides, plant resins, oxides, plus cadmium, cobalt, lead, mercury, molybdenum, nickel, silver, tin, zinc and iron salts, nitrates, chlorides, and fragrances, incorporated into the compositions of the prior art cause rashes, allergies, and dermatitis of the skin.
Unfortunately, the cited prior art compositions are relatively ineffective for treatment of infant dermatitic skin conditions, including the treatment and alleviation of skin irritations related to allergic skin reactions to synthetic adjuvants, so there is a need for organic compounds for improved skin care compositions.
The said prior art compositions do not employ massive quantities of cold-pressed organic vegetable oils.
The said prior art compositions do not employ organic beeswax compositions that this invention incorporates.
In terms of effectiveness, the said cited prior art compositions do not provide satisfactory skin penetration and supplying properties to leave skin satiny smooth for up to twelve hours.
The said cited prior art compositions do not provide the high volume of cold pressed organic safflower oil, or flaxseed oil, in their formulas to restore essential oil lipids that are essential to nourish and maintain healthy skin.
The said cited prior art compositions do not provide the high volume of skin healing vitamin A and tocopheral linoleate compositions to their formulations.
The said cited prior art compositions do not include tincture of benzoin in their formulations.
The said cited prior art compositions do not boil tincture of benzoin to eliminate its alcohol content.
The said cited prior art compositions do not provide an urgent need that exists for compositions like the present invention for use in the dermatological, pharmaceutical, and alternative therapy fields.
The said cited prior art compositions do not provide organic compositions to alleviate and treat the symptoms of infant dermatitic skin infirmities.
The said cited prior art compositions do not provide organic moisturizing compositions that provide a water resistant, non-greasy, antiseptic film on the skin.
The said cited prior art compositions do not provide organic compositions that are water resistant to body fluids.
The said cited prior art compositions do not provide organic compositions to provide organic essential oil for its anti-inflammatory qualities and to perfume the said compositions.
The said cited prior art compositions do not provide a high volume of organic safflower and flaxseed oils in the said compositions.
The said cited prior art compositions do not provide high volume organic compositions to replace lost oil lipids to the dermis.
The said cited prior art compositions do not provide gentle, organic compositions for infant use.
Objectives and advantages of the present invention are:
a) to provide an alcohol free topical skin preparation,
b) to provide an essential plant oil as an organic antiseptic adjuvant to treat bacterial, and fungal conditions of the skin;
c) to provide a topical skin composition that has potent effectiveness in the treatment of infant skin infirmities, such as dermatitis, eczema, chapping, cracking, flaking, redness, and skin allergies related to synthetic substances and the like;
d) to provide a high volume of organic cold pressed vegetable oil compositions for immediate transdermal delivery,
e) to provide a satisfactory skin penetration of the said composition and supplying properties that protect the skin for up to twelve hours,
f) to provide organic essential oil to perfume the said composition,
g) to provide a high volume of organic safflower and flaxseed oils in the said composition to replace oil lipids to the dermis,
h) to provide an urgent need that exists for composition like the present invention for the dermatological, pharmaceutical, and alternative therapy fields,
i) to alleviate and treat the symptoms of dermatitis, cracking, eczema, chapping, and allergic skin reactions due to ammonia, solvents, acids, alcohol substances, animal oils, mineral oils, petrolatum derivatives, fungicides, plant resins, oxides, plus cadmium, cobalt, lead, mercury, molybdenum, nickel, silver, tin, zinc and iron salts, nitrates, chlorides, and artificial fragrances, that are incorporated into the compositions of the cited prior art;
j) to provide an organic beeswax substance that bonds lubricating, hydrating, moisturizing and antiseptic compounds to the skin for up to twelve hours,
k) to provide an organic skin calming composition to infants skin,
l) to provide a gentle, organic composition to treat and alleviate the symptoms of infant diaper rash,
m) to provide an organic non-greasy, antiseptic and moisturizing film on the skin,
n) to provide an organic composition that is water resistant to body fluids,
o) to provide an organic composition without chemical structures that are known to cause skin irritations,
p) to provide an organic composition without solvents, artificial perfumes, artificial colorants and ammonia additives;
q) to provide an organic treatment composition without ammonia, solvents, acids, substances, mineral oil, petrolatum derivatives, plant resins, oxides, plus cadmium, cobalt, lead, mercury, molybdenum, nickel, silver, tin, zinc and iron salts, nitrates, chlorides, and artificial fragrances, that are incorporated into the compositions of the cited prior art
Thus, an urgent need exists for a skin composition like the present invention, that employs a high volume of potent cold-pressed organic flaxseed and safflower oils plus organic vitamins to feed the skin with nutritive
