Filed:

Aug 21, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/935015

Inventors:

Demetrios James G. Arquette - Tempe AZ
Jim Brown - Scottsdale AZ
John Reinhardt - Riverside CA

Assignee:

International Flora Technologies - Gilbert AZ

International Classification:

A61K 700

US Classification:

424401, 424 59, 424 63, 424 64, 424502, 514844, 514873, 514558

Abstract:

Disclosed are dry-feel emollient compositions comprising fatty alcohols, alkyl esters and jojoba wax esters obtained by a novel process of a base catalyzed alcoholysis reaction between jojoba oil and an alcohol, such as isopropyl alcohol. The composition is essentially solid at room temperature, can be provided in various shapes and sizes (especially as particulates such as spheres). These new compositions increase the range of applications for cosmetic compositions by providing an emollient that is more polar and hydrophilic than is found in naturally occurring jojoba oils (jojoba wax esters). These compositions have use in personal care, cosmetic, cosemceutical and pharmaceutical products. Typical materials these compositions may be blended include, but are not limited to, cosmetic oils and waxes, both natural and synthetic, hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils, silicone oils, mineral oils, long chain esters, vitamins, long chain fatty acids, alcohols, cosmeceuticals, pigments, botanical extracts, esters and ethers, dimers, trimers, oligomers, polymers, and the like. These compositions may be combined with active ingredients to be delivered by the compositions.

US Classification:

424725, 514724, 514738

Abstract:

Botanically-sourced and botanically-derived emollient sanitation compositions for topical use are disclosed. Representative compositions generally aid reconstitution of the lipid profile of the stratum corneum by providing botanical lipids and/or lipid-derivatives that resemble human sebum—these components being ordinarily diminished with the use of conventional hand sanitizer products. Disclosed features and specifications may be variously controlled, adapted or optionally modified to realize, for example, improved hand sanitizer formulations. Representative embodiments of the present invention generally provide anti-microbial compositions blended with botanically sourced lipids and/or lipid-derivatives to control or otherwise improve dermatitic symptoms associated with frequent use of conventional hand sanitizer products.

International Classification:

US Classification:

424401

Abstract:

The present invention are dry-feel emollient compositions comprising jojoba oil based esters that have use in personal care, cosmetic, cosmaceutical and pharmaceutical products. These compositions are essentially solid at room temperature, can be provided in various shapes and sizes (especially as particulates such as spheres), and can be produced from combinations of fatty alcohols, isopropyl esters and wax esters obtained from the oil contained in the seed of the jojoba plant. These new compositions also increase the range of applications for cosmetic compositions through an emollient that is more polar and hydrophilic than is found in jojoba oils. The compositions of the present invention may be obtained by a novel process of a base catalyzed alcoholysis reaction between jojoba oil and an alcohol, such as isopropyl alcohol. These components, whether exclusively jojoba esters or when combined with other carrier and vehicle components (including other emollients or binders) can form excellent carrier composition for use in the cosmetic, personal care and/or pharmaceutical field. Typical materials with which the compositions of the present invention may be blended include, but are not limited to, cosmetic oils and waxes, both natural and synthetic, (including hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils), silicone oils, mineral oils, long chain esters, vitamins, long chain fatty acids, cosmeceuticals, pigments, botanical extracts, esters and ethers, dimers, trimers, oligomers, and polymers, and the like.
