Complete Specification for the invention entitled: "A METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING COSMETICAL, HEALTH AND BODY CARE PRODUCTS" The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to me:r 2- THIS INVENTION relates to the preparation of a range of cosmetics, health and body care products having a metaloprotein content which results from the natural biosynthesis of living organisms.

Research in the field of physiology during the past years has directed attention to the vital importance of metaloproteins. Metaloproteins regulate physiological processes, secure healthy metabolical processes and have the ability to generate cells in living matter, and are components of many enzymes. Natural metaloproteins are formed inside the body, but their quantity may not always be sufficient if the nutrients within the body, be it plant, micro organism or animal, are short in trace elements or contain trace elements in an inappropriately complexed form which results in an unsatisfactory biological utilization. The above disadvantage has been overcome in this invention by utilizing living matter, such as micro organisms, which are incorporated into active agents for cosmetics, health and body care products, and are cultured and grown in an appropriate trace element rich medium, or added or fed prior to utilization so that their composition contains an increased, optimum quantity of metaloproteins.

a4 The present invention provides a method for preparing cosmetic, health and/or body care products for external use, said method comprising: incorporating trace element enhanced nutrients into living matter, and allowing biosynthesis of the living matter to form a greater number and larger variety of metaloprotein complexes than were already present in the living matter; separating at least some of the metaloproteins from the living matter; i I I 3 transforming the separated metaloproteins into a hydrophilic form; hydrolising the hydrophilic metaloproteins with proteases in a liquid and in the presence of trace element enzyme activators; and incorporating the treated metaloprotein containing liquid into cosmetic, health and/or body care products.

The trace elements may be present in association with glycine complexes, citric acid, or other acids such as hydrochloric acid. Alternatively, the trace elements may be present in water, such as seawater, thermal springs or natural mineral water. Furthermore, the living matter to referred to above may be a living organism and may be algae, such as dunaliella salina, or may be mussels, poultry, kangaroos, cattle or the like.

In the preferred form of the invention the bio-synthesised metaloproteins are transformed into a hydrophilic form and then are hydrolised with proteases in order to make absorption through the skin possible. The hydrolysis may be performed at 15' 37'C for 1 to 24 hours with pepsin or trypsin, since they are naturally occurring enzymes of living organisms, in an aqueous system in which the protein content is 0.5 10%/mass and in the presence of the S. *-8 following trace elements in the range of 108 to 10% mass, as enzyme activators: iron, manganese, zinc, copper, silver, gold, chromium, vanadium, titanium, strontium, nickel, cobalt, molybdenum, calcium, magnesium, fluorine, bromine, iodine, sulphur, selenium and alkaline hydrocarbonate. The trace elements may be present in association with glycine complexes, citric acid or other acid, for example hydrochloric acid.

In the case of systems in the cellular state, a cellrupture may be performed before the hydrolysis.

"i 4 After sterilisation, the mixture may be reacted with hydrogen peroxide at 15' 20'C for one-hour. After the total decomposition of hydrogen peroxide the agent for cosmetic, health and body care products is soluble in water and preferably contains trace elements of no less than: -2 -3 -3 zinc 1.2 x 10 copper 2 x 10 gold 10 silver -4 -2 -8 7 x 10 iron 3 x 10 chromium 10 manganese -3 -7 -4 2 x 10, nickel 6 x 10, cobalt 5 x 10 molybdenum 6 -7 -3 7 x 10 vanadium 6 x 10 strontium 2 x 10 -2 -3 -2 calcium 10 magnesium 8 x 10 sulphur 10 2 selenium 10 fluorine 7 x 10 4 bromine 7 x 10 4 -5 iodine 10 %/mass.

(In relation to gained metaloproteins from natural biosynthesis).

6 We have manufactured a range of health and body care iI products by taking 1 to 60%/mass of the substance resulting from the above processes and adding beta carotene and/or ,ti the full cell content of dunaliella salina and/or scedenesmus obliquus and/or chlorella vulgaris in -2 quantities of 10 1%/mass, after firstly supplementing it with water of 10 76%/mass preferably containing calcium, magnesium, boron, fluorine, alkaline hydrocarbonate, silicic acid and sulphide ion. By then using well known techniques, such as the use of basic and side-substances commonly employed in the cosmetic industry, the range of health and body care products may be produced.

The invention will be better understood by reference to the following examples which are preferred embodiments of the invention.

Example 1 Dunaliella salina algae is cultured according to known techniques on a culture medium that contains Glycine K'A. complexes of co-ordination number 4 and 6, and trace r -a ,i

During this time the algae incorporates the trace elements as organic complexes and metaloproteins. After that the algae is filtered out. If the culturing is conducted in 10 litre volume, 5g of modified algae is obtained. The 5g of algae is mixed into 400 mls tap water, the suspension's pH is adjusted with HC1 to 2, then the proteins are given an enzyme treatment for one hour at 37'C through the addition of 0.2g pepsin of great purity. The resulting substance is sterilised at 120'C in an autoclave.
