Skin moisturizing product and process

A moisturizing product and process designed to let a user quickly and easily rehydrate and moisturize the skin at their convenience, at anytime and any place. The fomulas are a combination of purified water, with a soluble collagen and other products to be applied to treat dry skin to slow the damaging effect of sun, wind, polutents and toxins. Further, the solution of the formula has a Deionized Water and soluble collagen in combination with other additives is applied to the skin by means of a spray in a very fine mist. When the formula reaches the skin it begins to rehydrate the cells of the skin by binding the water to the skin with the collagen in the formula. The cells of the skin exposed to a harsh drying environment are replenished and rehydrated by the fine spray mist.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
This invention relates to a new moisturizing skin product and process, and 
more particularly relates to a moisturizing skin process and method which 
allows the product to be sprayed on the skin. 
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
In recent years, scientists and researchers involved in the study of skin 
ageing have agreed that moisturizing will improve the feel and texture of 
the skin, and help to stall the formation of wrinkles due to dry skin. 
Moisturizing also combats a slow decline in the skin's natural water 
managing capacity and skin can remain more faithful to its function as a 
barrier when it is moisturized. 
A good skin moisturizer also can minimize the effects of ageing on your 
skin. Moisturizing is a step which will protect your skin against the 
effects of external environmental factors. The skin has highly specialized 
two-layer structure which is constantly regenerating itself. The outermost 
layer is called the epidermis and is composed of flat "dead" skin cells 
that contain the protein keratin, plus a deep layer of living cells. When 
the skin is healthy the living cells move to the surface in a continual 
two-to-four week cycle, and form a protective layer called the stratum 
corneum. As new cells are generated in the lower level of the epidermis, 
the top older cells harden and die. These cells are then shed from the 
surface of the skin as microscopic flakes. As skin matures, cell renewal 
takes much longer and needs ever increasing moisture to protect against 
external factors. 
All types of skin need some moisturing but the face, which is constantly 
opposed to the elements, can cause important moisture loss through 
evaporation. Moisturizes help the top layer of the skin retain its natural 
water content by providing ingredients that attract water and seal it into 
the top layers of the skin. Further, moisturizers condition the texture of 
the skin minimizing the appearance of lines and small wrinkles that form 
when the skin dries out. This outer layer of cells is the layer that is of 
interest to us. 
After years of study and experience water has gained favor and is now 
recognized as the best and most effective moisturizer available, as it 
most closely resembles the natural moisture of the skin. Dermatologists 
have known for years the many benefits of using water to replenish 
precious moisture lost. While aware of this fact the methods of 
moisturizing were often cumbersome and messy. 
Recent studies of genetics and cell structure have shown that a protein 
reportedly slows the aging process by helping the skin to retain moisture. 
Such products take the form as creams which are spread on the skin to help 
the skin retain the moisture. These products are in the form of 
emollients, and creams which in some cases are applied to the skin and 
left on overnight. Others are rubbed into the skin to retain moisture 
during the day. A problem with these particular products is that some are 
extremely expensive, and most are inconvenient and messy to apply. It 
would be advantageous if a product were available that could be easily 
applied anywhere, anytime, night or day, to instantly help in moisturizing 
and retaining moisture in the skin. 
It is therefore, one object of the present invention to provide a unique 
method of applying and binding moisturizing water to the skin. 
Another object of the invention is to provide a unique product which will 
moisturize the skin, in addition to aiding in retaining the moisture. 
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a unique method 
and product for applying nature's best moisturizer with the added benefits 
of using a collagen to bind the moisture in the skin. 
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a product 
comprised of a mixture of water with a small amount of collagen to provide 
a unique product and method for moisturizing the skin.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
The formula disclosed herein of Deionized Water and collagen when sprayed 
create an atmosphere conducive to the growth and development of new, fresh 
skin cells. In addition, the formula when sprayed on the skin rehydrates 
dry cells already present on the surface of the skin. Water is widely 
accepted as nature's best moisturizer and is the best moisturizer 
available. The use of a collagen in the formula assists in binding the 
water to the surface of the skin cells without clogging or contaminating 
the pores of the skin. 
Unlike the various expensive moisturizing creams or topical ointments 
presently available the formula disclosed herein allows the user to apply 
the needed moisturizer at any time. There are no messy creams to apply and 
the moisturizing product disclosed herein can be applied when it is needed 
most. After work, at play or exercise, the moisturing formula can be 
quickly and easily sprayed in a convenient easy manner, using a spray 
bottle such as the Calmar Mark 11 referred to hereinabove. Skin can be 
rehydrated immediately without the need for a sink, mirror, bathroom, 
water source or towels. In addition, the formular is economical and 
affordable as only a small amount of the very expensive collagen 
thoroughly mixed with the water solution is needed eliminating the need 
for applying large amounts of expensive creams. The proper amount is 
easily dispensed with each stroke of the pumping system. 
The invention involves the use of several separate formulas, one is a 
formula employing a collagen in combination with a purified water for use 
on normal and all types of skin conditions. A second formula is provided 
for people who have very oil and/or blemished skin conditions. The latter 
formula was created primarily for men, the majority of which have oily 
skin conditions, it provides moisture for an often dehydrated oily 
complexion. A third formula is provided for use by people with extremely 
dry or rough skin conditions. This combination or formula performs an 
enriched moisture. 
A general all purpose formula by weight is as follows: 
1. 98.7% Deionized water. 
2. 1.0% Soluble Animal Collagen (Bovine) 
3. 0.3% DMDM--Hydantoin 
Where the products are: 
Deionized Water--neutral ph, without minerals or other contaminants. 
Soluble Collagen--protein fiber found in skin and is a collagen extracted 
from bovine tissue. 
DMDM Hydantoin--organic preservative. 
The first specific formula which can be used by everyone and can stand 
alone or work with almost any skin care program and is effective and safe 
for all types of skin. This Formula is comprised of a collagen sometimes 
known by the trademark name Actigen C, which is an animal extract in 
propylene glycol water 50--50. This collagen is a protein fiber found in 
the skin which helps build water level by holding moisture-filled fibers 
close to the skin's surface. The collagen, it is believed, produces 
younger looking more supple skin due to increased moisture retention and 
content. The collagen, it is believed, works to decrease lines and 
wrinkles caused by lack of moisture. The collagen used is an extract 
produced from bovine tissue. 
Further, the collagen is soluble in water at any proportions and preferably 
has a pH of 4.5 to 7.0 and a specific gravity of 1.02 to 1.15, at 
approximately 25 degrees centigrade. Also, the collagen should have a 
microbrial count of less then 100 organisms per gram. 
This particular formula for use on all skin care programs is comprised of: 
1. 1%-2% Collagen. 
2. 0.03%-0.05% DMDM Hydantoin (organic preservative). 
3. Balance of Deionized Water to complete approximately eight ounches of 
formula. 
The percentages given are by weight of the product rather then by volume. 
A second formula created especially for people with a rather oily skin 
conditions, which applies primarily to men, can provide moisture for often 
dehydrated oily complexions. This formula is substantially the same as 
that listed above, but with the addition of a extract of cucumber known by 
the common names Cucumber HS, Extract of Cucumber, Cucumus Sativus 
Extract. It is also known by the trademark name of Actiphyte of Cucumber. 
The major constituent of the cucumber extract is 96% water. This 
moisturizing formula is comprised of; 
1. 1% to 2% collagen. 
2. 1% to 2% cucumber extract, described hereinabove. 
3. 0.03% to 0.05% DMDM Hydantoin. 
4. Balance of Deionized water to produce eight ounces of formula. 
The later formula as described above utilizes the cucumber extract which 
assists in moisturizing the skin of people with oily and/or blemished skin 
conditions. This particular form was created primarily for men, the 
majority of which have an oily skin condition, it provides and retains 
moisture for often dehydrated oily complexions. 
The third formula includes a product which prepares the skin for moisture. 
This product is known by the common name of Panthenol providing a 
lubricating moisture-building blend to the collagen and Deionized Water to 
smooth lines and reduce visual effects of aging. This particular 
formulation was produced particularly for people with extremely dry or 
rough skin conditions, this combination of compounds forms an enriched 
moisture. The formula utilizes a product known by the trademark name 
Dexpanthenol, which is prepared by the addition of propanolamine to 
optically active a, v-dihydroxy-.beta.-.beta.-dimenthylbutyrolactone known 
by the common name Panthenol and is a viscouse somewhat hygroscopic 
liquid. The product is generally in the form of a white powder freely 
soluble in water and has a natural pH of about 9.5. The formula is as 
follows: 
1. 1% to 2% collagen. 
2. 0.5% to 1.5% Panthenol. 
3. 0.03% to 0.05% DMDM Hydantoin. 
4. Balance of Deionized Water to complete eight ounces of formula. 
These formulas once mixed remain substantially clear and light in texture 
and are retained in an extra fine mist allowing full absorbtion by the 
skin when sprayed on. The advantage of the particular formulas described 
are that they allow the user to replenish and rehydrate dry damaged skin 
at anytime, anywhere. The product also allows a convenient method of 
applying nature's best moisture with a collagen binder without the use of 
messy creams and ointments. The collagen found in the formulas listed 
above act as a binding agent between skin cells and clear 
contaminated-free Deionized or pure water. Further, a collagen acts to 
hold the water against the skin cells allowing the skin cells to rehydrate 
without clogging the pores of the skin. 
The product disclosed and described herein is an effective treatment to 
replenish to skin from moisture loss due to the drying effects of sun, 
wind, heat, cold, air-born impurities and toxin. It lets you replenish the 
loss anywhere right on the spot by simply spraying the formula directly on 
the skin. There is no rubbing or any other particular activity or time 
needed for application. Further, only the proper pre-mixed amount is 
applied to the skin. There is no waste or overuse typical of creams or 
lotions which results in excessive costs and wastes money. The formulas 
disclosed herein are a perfect suplement to any skin care program that 
women might use and will not disturb hair, make-up or clothing. It is 
particularly ideal for use immediately after applying make-up to help seal 
and set the make-up for the day. 
This invention is not to be limited by the embodiment described in the 
description which is given by way of example and not of limitation, but 
only in accordance with the scope of the appended claims.
