Description

MULTI-PURPOSE MINERAL BODYWASH FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to a multi-purpose mineral bodywash. It relates particularly but not

exclusively to a soap-free bodywash which is suitable for all skin types and designed to achieve a deeply cleansing result to improve circulation and bring about a smooth healthy

glow to the skin without the need for any foaming prohibitors.

BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION

Numerous types and formulations of bodywash are currently available. Some of these are effective at cleaning the skin while at the same time creating skin irritations. Conventional

soaps have a relatively high pH, sometimes around 11, whereas healthy skin pH is around 5.5. Many types of bodywash damage the skin's protective layer of oils, fatty acids and

amino acids, often leading to skin dryness, itching, irritation and inflammation.

Many types of bodywash can lead to worsening of such skin conditions as dermatitis, rosacea, eczema and acne. Other types of bodywash may be more protective of the skin but less effective at deep cleansing.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

According to the present invention there is provided a multi-purpose mineral bodywash

formulation including the following active ingredients:

• Purified water with approximately 0.5% by weight Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice,

together comprising 60% to 90% by weight of the formulation;

• Kaolin Clay, comprising 5% to 15% by weight of the formulation;

• Kakadu Plum Extract, comprising 0.05% to 1% by weight of the formulation;

• Green Tea Extract, comprising 0.05% to 1% by weight of the formulation;

• SEOC Harmony Blend, comprising 0.1% to 1% by weight of the formulation; and

• Pentavitin, comprising 0.01% to 1% by weight of the formulation.

The multi-purpose mineral bodywash formulation may include any suitable thickeners, emulsifiers, preservatives, humectants, emollients, colourants, antioxidants and pH

adjusters. Suitable additional ingredients which fulfil these functions are:

• Solagum AX, comprising 0.5% to 2% by weight of the formulation;

• Microcare SB, comprising 0.5% to 2% by weight of the formulation;

• Xanthan Gum, comprising 0.1% to 1% by weight of the formulation;

Citric Acid.

The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to a particular embodiment. It is to be understood that the specific details of the embodiment do not

supersede the generality of the foregoing description.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF AN EXAMPLE EMBODIMENT

The example embodiment includes the following ingredients:

Phase A ingredient:

• Purified water with approximately 0.5% by weight Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, together comprising 60% to 90% by weight of the formulation;

Phase B ingredients:

• Solagum AX, comprising 0.5% to 2% by weight of the formulation;

• Microcare SB, comprising 0.5% to 2% by weight of the formulation;

• Xanthan Gum, comprising 0.1% to 1% by weight of the formulation;

• Glycerine, comprising 1% to 5% by weight of the formulation;

• Jojoba Oil, comprising 0.005% to 1% by weight of the formulation;

• Dermosoft GMCY, comprising 1% to 5% by weight of the formulation;

• Kaolin Clay, comprising 5% to 15% by weight of the formulation;

Phase C ingredients:

• Kakadu Plum Extract, comprising 0.05% to 1% by weight of the formulation;

• Green Tea Extract, comprising 0.05% to 1% by weight of the formulation;

• SEOC Harmony Blend, comprising 0.1% to 1% by weight of the formulation;

• Pentavitin, comprising 0.01% to 1% by weight of the formulation;

• Iron Oxide Red, comprising 0.005% to 1% by weight of the formulation;

• Sodium Citrate, comprising 0.1% to 1% by weight of the formulation;

• Citric Acid, comprising 0.01% to 1% by weight of the formulation.

The formulation is created by the following steps:

1. Combine the Phase B ingredients listed above and heat to 65°C under low shear until homogeneously mixed.

2. Add the Phase B ingredients to the Phase A ingredient and stir under low shear. Ensure that the mixture is fully homogenized.

3. Allow to cool below 35°C and add the Phase C ingredients. 4. Adjust pH initially to 5.5-6.0 if required, and

5. Adjust the viscosity if required using Sodium Chloride and adjust pH to 5.5-6.0 using Citric Acid.

This results in a viscous pink liquid, with a density of 1.00 to 1.05 and a final pH of 5.5 to 6.0.

The pH of cosmetic products should remain in a certain range so that the colour, viscosity, skin feel, and physicochemical stability remains intact during its shelf-life and during its

application by the consumer.

The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, where a pH of 7 is neutral, while a pH less than 7 is acidic and a pH greater than 7 is basic or alkaline. The skin's normal pH is slightly acidic.

If the skin pH is too acidic (less than 5.5) it can become irritated, red, inflamed, and even

painful to touch. If the skin pH is too alkaline (greater than 5.5), it can become dry, sensitive, and the person may even develop eczema. Newborns have relatively high pH

levels all over the skin. As babies get older, their pH levels decline. The average newborn has

a skin pH of about 7. This is compared to the average adult skin pH of 5.7.

It is therefore advisable when formulating washes, lotions, and creams to reach a pH

between 5-7 and the general rule is that slightly acidic products are preferred and perform

better for children.

Once the formulation process has been completed it is time to measure the pH of the

product, where one of these 3 possibilities can occur:

1. The pH of the product is exactly in the desired range and in the range where the preservative system has the highest efficiency. This is unfortunately rare, and in most cases,

it will be necessary either to reduce or increase the pH, dependent on the product being

formulated.

2. If the pH of the product is higher than the desired range, it needs to be reduced.

Citric acid, and lactic acid are the most suitable acids to reduce the pH of a cosmetic

product.

3. If the product pH is lower than the desired range it can be increased with Sodium

Citrate.

The particular ingredients and the reasons for their selection will now be described in further detail.

Purified Water: Purified water (CAS number 7732-18-5) is combined with about 0.5% by

weight of Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (CAS number 85507-69-3 / 94349-62-9). As a cosmetic ingredient, aloe vera is widely used in many mainstream skincare and cosmetics products.

The plant is skin-friendly and has a low risk of causing allergies, sensitivity or skin reactions, and it is also versatile. It also aids protection of the epidermis and the skin's ability to

restore itself and commonly used in after-sun products, facial, hair and body care. From the juice of Aloe Vera leaves this ingredient adds a calming effect to the skin. It is known for

soothing irritation and itching as well as being lightly moisturising.
