ABSTRACT:
A poison ivy (and related dermatitis) treatment composition and method in which a novel composition containing a combination of active ingredients gives new and unexpected results over compositions of the prior art. The inventive composition includes three essential ingredients: extract (fresh sap) of jewelweed (Impatiens species); fresh sap of plantain leaf; and an aqueous colloidal dispersion of subdivided whole oat grains. It is believed that the amphiphilic nature of the aqueous colloidal oat dispersion both preserves the activity of the plantain and jewelweed enzymes, as a result of its oat oil fraction, and also enhances topical delivery to the epidermis due to its aqueous fraction and the stabilizing effect of the oat bran as bulking agent. At the same time the aqueous oat colloid dispersion provides an essential excipient and delivery agent for the jewelweed and plantain enzymes, it itself provides essential anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effect to minimize dermatitis exacerbation due to itching and scratching. In addition, the joint presence of the plantain and jewelweed saps is believed to give an enhanced anti-inflammatory effect as compared to the use of either plant sap alone.
