The article comprises a water insoluble substrate, a lathering surfactant, and a skin care active component. This patent does not disclose the use of ethylhexyl stearate.
The PCT Application to Dalrymple discloses a personal care formulation.
The Fowler PCT Application is comparable to the United States case of Fowler.
The Lee European Application discloses an exfoliant composition.
Finally, the Ozaki European Application also discloses a scrubbing agent.
While exfoliating compounds have already been developed in the prior art, many exfoliating compounds either do not provide a sufficiently deep cleansing action or alternatively, may be sufficiently abrasive to damage sensitive skin, especially on a woman's face. Therefore, there is a significant need for an improved facial and body scrub which can deep clean skin tissue and also exfoliate dead skin cells while at the same time not damaging sensitive skin.
The present invention is a salt sorbet facial and body scrub which has enhanced properties to deep clean skin, exfoliate dead skin cells in an efficient manner, and at the same time not damage sensitive skin, especially on a woman's face.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved facial and body scrub which acts as a salt sorbet in that it creates a blown up foam which will provide deep cleaning action to cleanse skin pores in an efficient manner and also to exfoliate skin in an efficient manner.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a salt sorbet exfoliating facial and body scrub which although effective for cleaning and exfoliating skin, is not so abrasive as to create any damage to sensitive skin areas, especially on a woman's face.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a cost efficient combination of elements and process for creating an improved facial and body scrub.
The present invention comprises the combination of thirteen unique ingredients which contain a combination of ranges of products which will all work to achieve the desired result.
The first preferred combination range of products is set forth in Chart 1 below:
1. Dead Sea Salt (Fine)
2. Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil
28.00–34.00
11.50–14.05
7.40–9.05
6. Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil
7. Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Oil
8. Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A Palmitate)
11. Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3)
12. Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E Acetate)
13. Phytonadione (Vitamin K1)
The following fragrances are preferred as the fragrance for the above combination:
5. Fresh Peach
An alternative combination range of products is set forth in Chart 2 below:
0.01–0.16
0.01–0.60
As with the first preferred combination, the following fragrances are preferred as the fragrance for the above combination:
The appropriate compounding procedure for the preferred ranges of salt sorbet combinations as set forth in both Chart 1 and Chart 2 is as follows:
1. Ensure that all equipment are sanitized before processing.
2. Combine all the oils and vitamins by adding one at a time with constant mixing.
3. Slowly add Silica with constant mixing. Use face mask while dispersing the material to avoid inhalation. Mix until the batch thickens and no solid/lumps present.
4. Add Dimethicone and mix until blended.
5. Add the salt and the fragrance while mixing.
While the preferred combination range of product was set forth in Chart 1, it has been determined through experimentation that the preferred combination percentages of products to achieve the optimum salt sorbet product in accordance with the present invention is set forth in Chart 3 below:
1. Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil
2. Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil
3. Simmondsia Chinensia (Jojoba) Oil
4. Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A Palmitate)
8. Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E Acetate)
9. Phytonadione (Vitamin K1)
12. Dead Sea Salt
While the alternative combination range product was set forth in Chart 2, it has been determined through experimentation that the preferred combination in the alternative range to achieve the optimum salt sorbet product in accordance with the present invention is set forth in Chart 4 below:
For both detailed combinations as set forth in Charts 3 and 4, the following fragrances are preferred as the fragrance for each detailed combination:
The appropriate compounding procedure for the detailed combination as set forth in both Chart 3 and Chart 4 is as follows:
Preferred Compounding Procedure
1. Ensure that all equipment are cleaned and sanitized before processing.
2. Combine Item #'s 1–9, add one at a time with constant mixing.
3. Slowly add Item # 10, with constant mixing. Use face mask while dispersing the material to avoid inhalation. Mix until the batch thickens and no solid/lumps present.
4. Add Item # 11 and mix until blended.
After the above items are mixed, the solution is ready for bottling. Through use of the present invention and the unique compounds in combination as set forth above, the present invention creates a vastly improved facial and body scrub with the enhanced properties as discussed above.
