Patent ID: 6855326

Claim:
A composition for the reduction of lipase enzyme activity on skin, said composition comprising: (a) a compound of the formulation: wherein R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are independently an alkyl or alkenyl or hydroxyalkyl group with from 1 to 22 carbon atoms, and R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 and R 8 are independently selected from the group consisting of C 1 -C 10 linear or branched alkyl, alkenyl or hydroxyalkyl groups, hydroxy, chloride, bromide, amine or hydrogen; and (b) a compound of the formulation: an amphoteric compound, said amphoteric compound having at its iso-electric point the formula: wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 are independently selected from the group consisting of C 1 -C 22 linear or branched alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, arylalkyl, amidoalkyl, (poly) alkoxy, hydroxyalkyl, or acyl groups, or two or more groups of R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 form together one or more ring structures; R 5 , R 6 and A are independently selected from the group consisting of C 1 -C 22 linear or branched alkylene, alkenylene, (poly) alkoxylene, hydroxyalkylene, arylalkylene or amido alkylene groups; R 7 and R 8 are independently an C 1 -C 4 alkyl, alkenyl, alkoxy group or a hydroxy group or hydrogen; R 9 and R 10 are independently selected from the group consisting of C 1 -C 22 linear or branched alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, arylalkyl, amidoalkyl, (poly) alkoxy, hydroxyalkyl, or acyl groups, or two or more of the groups R 1 , R 9 and R 10 form together one or more ring structures; BH is a proton donating group; x is from 2 to 4; and M− is a counter ion; and wherein said composition within the first 15 minutes of application of said composition to an affected area, reduces the lipase enzyme activity to 35% of initial lipase activity in said affected area.
