These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the subsequent detailed description of the preferred embodiment and the appended claims taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
The best mode for carrying out the invention is presented in terms that disclose a preferred embodiment of a skin health and nutrition product that can be orally ingested and/or topically applied to improve the health and appearance of a person's skin and for general nutrition. The preferred embodiment of the orally ingested and/or topically applied skin health and nutrition product 10, as shown in
The formulation of ingredients 12 is comprised of the following percentage of ingredients:
All the formulated ingredients are considered to be non-toxic whether they are taken severally or in combination. Also, the formulation can be utilized without the flavor ingredient. If the flavor ingredient is included in the ingested formulation it can be selected from the group of flavors consisting of orange, strawberry, grape, banana or another flavor. Additionally, at least two of the flavors can be combined to produce a unique combination flavor.
The formulation of ingredients can be derived from various sources: the purified water is derived by a physical process such as reverse osmosis, glycerin is derived from animal or vegetable oils, sorbitol is derived from the berries of the mountain ash, camellia sinensis is derived from a green tea extract, panax ginseng is derived from the roots of the ginseng plant, punica grana turn is derived from a pomegranate extract, and stevia is derived from herbs and shrubs in the sunflower family. Additionally, retinyl palmitate equates to vitamin A, ascorbic acid equates to vitamin C, and alpha tocopherol equates to vitamin E.
As previously stated, the product 10 can be utilized for orally ingested internal usage 26 or topically applied for external usage 28. While an individual can use either the oral ingestion method or the topical application method, it is also possible to use both the oral and topical methods concurrently. When the two methods are used concurrently, an individual will receive the independent benefits that each method provides. In other words, both the oral ingestion method and the topical application method will function with full respective efficacy, whether one of the methods is utilized or both methods are utilized at one time. As shown in
It should be noted that the main inventive concept is the ability to provide a single skin health and nutrition product that can be effectively used when orally ingested and/or topically applied.
