Patent ID: 10213396

Abstract:
There is provided a patch to enhance locally fat metabolism, using a thermoplastic elastomer gel composition including capsaicin, which is applied to the skin surface, comprises: a skin adhering layer formed of the thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) gel including capsaicin, the skin adhering layer having a top surface and a bottom surface; a base layer secured to the bottom surface of the skin adhering layer, to support for the patch; and a removable paper/film layer secured to the top surface of the skin adhering layer, to protect the skin adhering layer prior to use, wherein the skin adhering layer comprises: 3˜12 wt % of styrene ethylene butylene styrene (SEBS) or styrene ethylene ethylene propylene styrene (SEEPS), 44˜53 wt % of an adhesive agent; 44˜53 wt % of mineral oil, and 0.001˜0.009 wt % of capsaicin. Capsaicin included in the TPE gel derives heat generation and fat breakdown, to help attain fat loss in the area where the patch is applied.
