ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a skin rejuvenation cream and lotion especially beneficial for dry, damaged or aging skin.
2. Description of Related Art
The need for anti-aging creams/lotions and moisturizers without a prescription is strongly felt. RETIN-A is used to reduce wrinkles but has a high incidence of side effects and requires a prescription. Over-the-counter skin care preparations generally do not suffice, and often make the skin feel greasy. Their moisturizing qualities also tend to vanish quickly, resulting in dry, cracked skin.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,153,230 issued to Jaffery on Oct. 6, 1992 discloses a topical skin cream composition. The skin cream of Jaffery is designed to prevent and treat aging skin. The active ingredient is glycolic acid in concentrations up to 3.5 weight percent. The composition also may include vitamin A palmitate and/or vitamin E acetate. Preservatives are included in the composition to increase shelf life. Other ingredients may be included in the composition but no natural ingredients such as mink oil, soybean oil, fish liver oil, or gotu kola are included in the composition.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,254,331 issued to Mausner on Oct. 19, 1993 describes a skin cream composition designed to minimize environmental stress on the skin, improve firmness and elasticity, and counteract dryness. The appearance of wrinkles and other cosmetically undesirable effects on the skin is prevented or delayed, as well as correcting existing wrinkles. The skin cream of Mausner contains a protein complex with serum proteins and hydrolyzed animal proteins; a protein-amino acid-vitamin-nucleotide complex with propylene glycol, serum proteins, niacinamide, water, adenosine phosphate, and arginine; and a dimethylsilanoyl hyaluronate complex.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,391,373 issued to Mausner on Feb. 21, 1995 discloses a skin cream composition which provides retexturization, produces smoothness, minimizes age spots, improves color, and increases firmness and moisture content of the skin. The composition comprises sodium lactate; a micellar complex comprising horse chestnut extract, Crataegus extract, water, panthenol, propylene glycol, phospholipids, phenoxyethanol, glycosphingolipids, chlorphenesin, and cholesterol; a protein complex comprising serum proteins, hydrolyzed animal proteins, and glycogen; a carbohydrate-based complex comprising dextran, glycine, and glucosamine; a long-chain fatty acid ester of retinol; a long-chain fatty acid ester of ascorbic acid; and a short-chain fatty acid ester of tocopherol. Other cosmetic components may be included.
U.S. Pat. No.5,571,503 issued to Mausner on Nov. 5, 1996 describes an anti-pollution cosmetic composition which provides significant protection against moisture loss and damage due to free radical activity and ultraviolet light. The composition contains an anti-pollution complex with propylene glycol, hydrolyzed wheat protein, mannitol, glycogen, yeast extract, ginseng extract, linden extract, calcium pantothenate, horse chestnut extract, and biotin; a micellar complex with phospholipids, glycosphingolipids, panthenol, Crataegus extract, cholesterol, and sodium hyaluronate; an anti-free radical complex with melanin, a short-chain fatty acid ester of tocopherol, a long-chain fatty acid ester of retinol, and a long-chain fatty acid ester of ascorbic acid; and a sun screen. Other cosmetic components may be included.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,658,580 issued to Mausner on Aug. 19, 1997 describes a skin cream composition which provides significant retexturization of the skin, smooths the skin, minimizes age spots, improves skin color, increases skin firmness and moisturizes the skin. The skin cream composition contains sodium lactate; a long-chain fatty acid ester of ascorbic acid; a short-chain carboxylic acid ester of tocopherol; witch hazel; and horsetail extract.
The patents referenced herein do not disclose the same topical cream and lotion compositions as those of the present invention. The skin rejuvenation cream and lotion of the present invention is better able to soften and rejuvenate the skin. The skin rejuvenation cream and lotion compositions of the present invention are specifically designed to moisturize and hide wrinkled or broken skin.
None of the above inventions and patents, taken either singly or in combination, is seen to describe the instant invention as claimed.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The skin rejuvenation cream and lotion compositions of the current invention include a unique composition with rich emollients that help to prevent wrinkles by locking in moisture, and by firming and toning the skin. The present invention is to be applied daily on the skin to obtain soft, smooth and silky skin. The compositions includes deionized water, mink oil, vitamin E, retinol acetate (vitamin A), borage oil, ginseng, aloe vera, lanolin (hydrous), gotu kola, soybean oil, fish liver oil, hydrolyzed animal protein, dl-alpha tocopherol acetate, stearic acid, cetyl alcohol, citric acid, silicon, isopropylmyristate, propylene glycol, stearyl alcohol, glycerol stearate, dimethicone, lactic acid, quaternium-15, propylparaben, carbomer 934 and 940, triethanolamine, methylparaben, tetrasodium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), DMDM hydantoin, diazolidinyl urea and fragrance.
Accordingly, it is a principal object of the invention to provide topical cream and lotion compositions for applying to the skin to smooth fine lines and wrinkles.
It is another object of the invention to develop a pleasant feeling skin moisturizer.
It is a further object of the invention to provide topical skin cream and lotion compositions that reduce the signs of aging.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a topical skin cream and lotion composition that leaves the skin feeling soft and silky to the touch.
It is an object of the invention to provide improved components and arrangements thereof in a topical composition for the purposes described which is inexpensive, dependable and fully effective in accomplishing its intended purposes.
These and other objects of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following specification.
