Patent Application
20080171030
1. Field of the Invention
This disclosure relates to skin care products, and more particularly to juice based skin care compositions and methods for using juice based skin care products.
2. Background of the Invention
There are hundreds of skin care products on the market today designed to provide a variety of benefits and care for hands, feet, body, eyes, face, etc. The effectiveness of these skin care products varies widely, however, and in addition to being ineffective, many of them can have adverse side effects and can even damage the skin. This is especially true for sensitive and/or blemish-prone skin.
The main ingredient in all conventional skin care products is water. In fact, over 50% of many conventional skin care products can be made up of water. Further, conventional skin care products can also include artificial fillers, preservatives, tars, petroleum, synthetic fragrances, and parabens. All of these ingredients are absorbed by the skin when the skin care product is applied, and can cause such problems as blemishes, dry skin, rashes, etc.
The disclosure herein is directed to organic skin-based products that comprise an excess of 70% organic ingredients. For example, the skin care products described herein are composed of a plurality of organic juices and other organic materials.
In one aspect, the organic skin care products described can be used in a variety of skin care solutions to achieve various skin care objectives.
These and other features, aspects, and embodiments of the invention are described below in the section entitled “Detailed Description.”
Features, aspects, and embodiments of the inventions are described in conjunction with the attached drawings, in which:
The embodiments described below are directed to compositions for organic skin care products. The percentage of organic ingredients in each of the compositions is an excess of 70% in accordance with the USDA National Organic Program food standards. In particular, the main ingredient in each of the compositions are organic fruit juices. The organic fruit juices are used in place of water as used in conventional skin care products. By using organic fruit juices in the place of water, the compositions below can achieve the 70% or greater USDA food standard.
Using organic juices as a base composition for a skin care product is a costly process with many challenging logistics. For example, seasonal produce, weather sensitivity and the fact that each crop has unique chemistry and colors combine to make the development of juice-based organic skin care products extremely difficult; however, the compositions described below have been shown to produce repeatable results.
Each of the compositions below has a unique blend of organic juices with a specific benefit for the skin type being targeted; however, the same juices, such as apple, white grape, red grape, lemon juice, to name just a few, are used in each of the compositions. In fact, up to 25 organic juices can be found in the compositions described herein. Organic juices are rich in potent antioxidants, essential vitamins, vital phyto-nutrients, and powerful hydroxy acids, making them excellent ingredients for skin care products. The compositions below result in skin care products that are quite concentrated, but beneficial for the skin. It will be clear that the compositions below do not make use of any artificial fillers, toxic preservatives, water to dilute the compositions, tars, petroleum, synthetic fragrances, or parabens.
The following descriptions are related to several example skin care products and compositions. The following examples should not be seen as limiting the products and compositions described herein to any particular products and compositions however. It will be understood, that many more products and compositions are possible. These new products and compositions can comprise minute to substantial variations on the products and compositions described herein, or can comprise entirely new products and compositions. Thus, the products and compositions described below are presented by way of example only.

As noted azulene can be added to the ingredients in order to give the serum a green apple color.
Zinc gluconate is a combination of zinc with a form of glucose (a sugar) that is commonly used in cold lozenges for its antiviral effects. A study reported in Dermatology (2001, volume 203, issue 2, page 40), which is incorporated herein in its entirety as if set forth in full, evaluated “the place of zinc gluconate in relation to antibiotics in the treatment of acne vulgarism Zinc was compared to minocycline [an antibiotic] in a multicenter randomized double-blind trial. 332 patients received either 30 milligrams elemental zinc or 100 milligrams minocycline over 3 months. The primary endpoint was defined as the percentage of the clinical success rate on day 90 . . . ” The study concluded that “Minocycline and zinc gluconate are both effective in the treatment of inflammatory acne, but minocycline has a superior effect evaluated to be 17% in our study.” Whether or not this relates to topical applications is unknown. Note: high doses of zinc can be toxic. Avoid taking more than 100 mg of zinc per day from a supplement (Source: www.drweil.com). It is also recommended that a daily multivitamin with minerals be taken because increases levels of zinc mean that the body requires more copper and manganese.
Copper gluconate is included because copper is an important trace element for human nutrition. The body needs copper to absorb and utilize iron, and copper is also a component of the powerful antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase. Copper supplements have been shown to increase superoxide dismutase levels in humans as noted in: Healthnotes Review of Complementary and Integrative Medicine, www.healthnotes.com, which is incorporated herein in its entirety as if set forth in full. The synthesis of collagen and elastin is in part related to the presence of copper in the body, and copper is also important for many other processes. For example, there is research showing that copper is effective for wound healing as noted in: Journal of Clinical Investigation, November 1993, pages 2368-2376: and Federation of European Biochemical Sciences Letter, October 1988, pages 343-346, which are both incorporated herein in their entirety as if set forth in full. However, wound healing is the result of many biophysical processes that have nothing to do with wrinkling.
Phospholipids is a type of lipid (fat) composed of glycerol, fatty acids, and phosphate. Phopholipids are essential to the function of cell membranes by providing a stable surrounding structure. Lecithin and cholesterol are phosopholipids.
Magnesium aspartate is an amino acid chelate of Magnesium and Aspartic Acid. This complex forms a tight bond and is released in the inner layer of the outer cell membrane.
Amino acids are fundamental constituents of all proteins found in the body, such as: alanine, arginine, asparagines, asparatic acid, cysteine, cystine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine, and valine. Some of these amino acids can be synthesized by the body; others, the essential amino acids, must be obtained from protein in the diet. In skin-care products, these types of ingredients work primarily as water-binding agents, and some have antioxidant properties and wound-healing abilities as well. However, these substances cannot affect, change, or rebuild wrinkles. Whether the protein in a skin-care product is derived from an animal or a plant, the skin can't tell the difference.
EDTA is the abbreviation for ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, which can also be included. It is a stabilizer used in cosmetics to prevent ingredients in a given composition from binding with trace elements (particularly minerals) that can exist in water and other ingredients to cause unwanted product changes such as texture, odor, and consistency problems. The technical term for this function is a chelating agent.
