Description

The solution concerns skin care products that can be used in veterinary as well as human cosmetics. Their advantage is their natural character.

Prior art

Probably we all know the unpleasant feeling of dry skin on the hands, feet, cracked horny skin on the legs, cracked and rough elbows and knees, or itchy skin and its tendency to inflammation and rashes. The effect of the environment on the uncovered skin of animals is significantly more negative. The paws of domestic animals, especially dogs and cats, are usually directly exposed to the aggressive effects of reindeer in winter and hot asphalt or concrete in summer. Cracked and peeling skin on the snouts and joints of animals is also a common problem.

While people most often solve these problems by applying appropriate means of regenerative or therapeutic cosmetics, domestic animals are usually dependent on the treatment of irritated and damaged skin with their own saliva. In the case of dog saliva, they have been shown to contain substances with a significant disinfecting and regenerating effect.

There are currently a large number of products on the market in the form of creams and body lotions for the preventive and effective treatment of human skin and animal skin. However, the vast majority of them contain a wide range of synthetic ingredients and petroleum-derived products, such as paraffins, various chemically modified stearates, low and multi carbon alcohols, derivatized aryl alcohols, carboxylic acids, chelating agents, thickeners - usually polyacrylic acid derivatives, silicone oils and polyalkylsilanes, paraben-type preservatives, synthetic fragrances and many others. Several throats designed to hydrate the skin also contain a high proportion of synthetically prepared urea (about 10% or more).

Although the ingredients forming the essence of the present compositions currently offered commercially for the treatment of human and animal skin generally allow effective treatment, they are characterized by very good physical and application properties and due to the presence of effective preservatives they also guarantee the preservation of their physicochemical properties even after sufficient long storage time, their use, especially in more sensitive individuals, often leads to dermatoses and allergies.

The essence of the technical solution

It has been found that said shortcomings can be completely or at least substantially eliminated by using the means - balms according to the solution. The basis of these balms are specifically selected mixtures of substances of a natural nature. It is characteristic of the compositions according to the invention that in 100 parts by weight they contain 35 to 85 parts by weight of at least one of vegetable oils and / or fats and 10 to 35 parts by weight of at least one of fats and / or waxes of animal origin. It is also characteristic of these balms that they contain extracts from at least two plants.

Rape and / or sunflower and / or olive and / or olive oil and / or linseed and / or coconut oil have proven to be suitable vegetable oils and fats by laboratory tests and, in particular, the use of the formulations in practice for more than three years. and / or shea butter. The raw material for the isolation of rapeseed oil is rapeseed (Brassica napus). This vegetable oil is characterized by a high content of unsaturated fatty acids (Cis) as well as erucic acid (C22).

Sunflower oil is obtained from the seeds of Helianthus annuus, it is also rich in unsaturated fatty acids, so it is generally very well tolerated by the skin and is also characterized by a mild anti-inflammatory effect.

A significant advantage of both mentioned vegetable oils is also the relatively low prices available.

Olive oil (Olea europed) contains unsaturated fatty acids mainly oleic (Cm), linolenic (Cis) and palmitic (Cie), which contributes to the excellent tolerability of this oil for every skin type.

Dandelion oil is a very rich, high-quality and cosmetically valued oil, which is obtained from the seeds of Oenothera biennis. It contains up to 80% of essential fatty acids as well as the rare gamalinolenic acid. Dandelion oil improves skin elasticity and stimulates lynx.

Flaxseed oil is obtained from the seeds of flax (Linum usitatissimum) and is a source of mainly unsaturated fatty acids (Cis).

Coconut oil is a slightly fragrant Cocos nucifera fuel oil. Unlike the oils mentioned so far, it is mainly a source of saturated fatty acids (C12 - ιβ), while even with a slight drop in temperature, it changes state - it solidifies.

Shea butter has similar rheological properties - at the usual temperature, the room has an amorphous pasty to solid consistency similar to butter of animal origin.

Shea butter is isolated from the nuts of the African butterbur shea tree (Vitellaria paradox). Like our growing kostihoj, it is a source of natural and skin-smoothing and skin-softening allantoin. In addition, it has an anti-inflammatory effect and is also a source of natural vitamin E - tocopherol and carotenoids.

As already mentioned, skin care balms, according to the invention, are characterized in that, in addition to oils and / or fats of vegetable origin, they also contain fats and / or waxes produced by animal bodies. Of these, lanolin and beeswax have proved particularly useful in connection with the solution.

Lanolin is a mixture of cholesterol esters with various fatty acids (CAS: 8006-54-0). Depending on the content of the admixtures, it may have a dark brown to light yellow-cream color, and in particular, depending on the temperature and the water content, it may have the character of a solid paste to a free-flowing oily liquid. It usually starts to melt at a temperature of 35 - 40 ° C. Lanolin is obtained by purifying raw sheep wool.

A characteristic feature of lanolin is its ability to absorb large amounts of water (up to 100% by weight) and this ability can be further enhanced by the addition of a suitable amount of petrolatum or some vegetable oils (eg olive oil). Raw lanolin, which has a dark brown color at room temperature, has the character of a practically firm cream and smells strongly of sheep, proved to be the most suitable for the intended purpose. It is usually available under the trade name Woolgrease Fatty Acids or Fetty acids Gradc D (e.g. manufacturer: Lanolines de La Tossée, France).

Wax is a metabolic product of bees. It is used for the construction of a beehive work - a honeycomb. It is formed in the waxy glands of bees - workers. To produce wax, bees consume a considerable amount of sugar food as well as protein, which they obtain from pollen (it is stated that bees use as much sugar to produce wax as it contains more than 3 kg of honey). Under good laying conditions, the bee colony can produce 1-2 kg of wax during the production period (250-300 g on average in our country). The wax is obtained from the honeycombs by heating

Beeswax is a plastic yellow to yellow-brown fatty mass with a melting point of 60 to 65 ° C. It is lighter than water (specific weight: 0.95 - 0.96 g / cm ³ ).

Beeswax is a mixture of various organic substances - it is stated that it contains up to 300 chemicals, mainly esters of higher fatty acids with higher alcohols, free fatty acids, hydrocarbons, sterols, aromatic substances, various and higher alcohols, including unsaturated organic compounds. Esters are said to make up more than 70% of pure wax, with myricylic polishing of palmitic and cerotic acids being particularly significant.

Skin treatment products - balms according to the invention contain extracts from at least two plants including hamamel (Hamamelis virginiana L.), marigold (Calendula officinalis L.), aloe vera, aloe vera (Aloe vera), sage (Sage officinalis L) .), Achillea millefolium, Agrimonia eupatoria, Hypericum perforatum L., Amica montana L., Tea tree (Melaleuca altemifolia), and Matricaria recutitaL ·) .

Extracts - plant extracts can already be found in the recipes of our ancestors. These god used as one of the oldest medicinal and cosmetic forms Extract is an extract of plants with a liquid, solid or viscous consistency, usually obtained from dried or fresh plants (traditional plant). In some preparations, the plant may be subjected to a pre-treatment such as milling. Extracts are prepared by extraction using water, ethanol or another suitable solvent. After extraction, if necessary, the undesired substances are removed by filtration or other separation methods. Extraction of active substances from plants is a physicochemical separation process, the aim of which is to transfer these substances present in plants (solid phase) to the extract using a suitable solvent (water, ethanol, propylene glycol, glycerin). The result is the formation of two phases - a liquid extract and a solid residue after extraction.

Concentrated extracts are preparations with a viscous consistency obtained by partial evaporation of the liquid solvent (water, ethanol) used for production. The concentrated extracts usually have a dry matter content of more than 50 wt. %.

Dry extracts are solid / powder preparations obtained by evaporating the solvent used for their production in the spray-drying process - using the so-called spray dryers with direct or indirect heating Dry extracts are usually characterized by a dry matter content higher than 95 wt. %.

In connection with the preparation of plant extracts usable in the preparation of compositions intended for the treatment of skin - balms in the sense of the solution, it is expedient to use extracts obtained by leaching plants in dimethyl sulfoxide, (CH ₃ ) 2 SO -DMSO. Plant extracts of this type and their use are contained in ÚV 7689.

Hamamel Virginia provides astringent substances, anti-inflammatory, promote wound healing, alleviate itching and stop local bleeding from leaves, bark, branches and roots. These include tannins, oligomeric proanthocyanidins (especially hamamelitanine), caffeic acid, flavonoids and essential oil containing safrola ionone

The marigold can be medically described as an absolutely universal remedy. Marigold flowers have been used since time immemorial to wound wounds, to regenerate very dry, cracked and horny skin on the legs, elbows and knees, while relieving inflammation and removing itchy skin. He doesn't want the healing effect

S K 60-2020 U1 ka is probably conditioned by the presence of triterpene alcohols (faradiol), triterpenesaponins, essential oil containing cadinol and toreyol, several carotenoids, flavonoids, xanthophylls, marine hydrides and polysaccharides.

Anthracides - aloin A and aloin B, 7-hydroxyaloin. Gycoproteins, polysaccharides and acemanans are just some of the substances that are given the ability to support the body's defenses, have healing and anti-inflammatory effects. Their source is cellular juice-gel of aloe vera leaves.

Sage leaves contain an essential oil that contains 35-60% thujone, 6-16% cineole or eucalyptol and 14-3% camphor, bomeol, linalol, monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, a variety of tannins, rosemary acid, diterpene fever such as camozol and picrosalvin, triterpenes such as ursolic acid, phenolic glycosides and aflavonoids.

The common ladder, sometimes called the mouse tail in our country, is one of the traditional herbal plants. The essential oil contains more than 100 compounds. Monoterpenes (cineole, sabinene, camphor linalol) and sesquiterpenes (such as caryolylene, garmacrene and bisabolol), chamazulene, sesquiterpene lactones, flavonoids, coumarins, betaines have recently been shown, and the presence of sesquiterpenoid . The ladder, probably due to chamazulene, has an anti-inflammatory effect and destroys microbes.

We are happy with the effects of the leaves from the Australian tea tree, which the Western world knows thanks to Captain Cook, who made tea for his crew after landing on Botany Bay. From the leaves of the trees and the truss of the Australian tea tree Melaleuca alternifolia, steam distillation yields silica - the tea tree essential oil, which is generally considered to be a strong natural remedy. Tea tree oil, as it is known all over the world, is used for skin problems, eczema, acne, fungi and can deal with infections in the oral cavity, relieves inflammation of the gums, tonsils and aphthae. Women appreciate its effects in the treatment of vaginal mycoses.

Večat medical beet contains tannins, mainly catechin tannins, triterpenes and aflavonides. It has anti-inflammatory effects and is also one of the traditional herbal plants.

The flowers of mountain amik are attributed antibacterial effects, the ability to suppress inflammation, relieve pain, act against arthritis and platelet aggregation. When used externally, it accelerates the absorption of blood effusions, bruises, bruises, muscle and joint pain and vascular diseases. Sesquiterpene lactones and aflavonoids are considered to be the main active group of substances.

St. John's wort, also known in our country as St. John's wort, is a source of hypericins, flavonoids, oligomeric procyanidins, catechin tannins and xanthones. St. John's wort oil, prepared from fresh flowers, has traditionally been used to treat several skin diseases.

Chamomile - kamilka is a big star among medicinal plants. It is said to have an anti-inflammatory effect, to promote wound healing and to have an antibacterial effect. It is said that "a warm chamomile flower removes pain, cramps, has a healing and protective effect." Although the individual ingredients are given certain properties, the resulting positive effect of chamomile seems to depend to a large extent on the interaction of several active ingredients. Bisabolols, apigenin, matrixin, chamazulene and chamazulenecarboxylic acid are important.

In order to deepen the hydrating effect of preparations intended for the treatment of skin-balms according to the solution, it is suitable if they contain D-panthenol, which is a provitamin of pantothenic acid (vitamin B 5). It also has an anti-inflammatory effect, helps to heal fragile and cracked skin and mild irritation. It is particularly advantageous to use D-panthenol obtained from natural rice in the preparation of the balms according to the invention.

In order to preserve the natural character of the preparations - balms according to the solution, it is expedient to use at least one of the substances including tocopherol (vitamin E), bee propolis, or grapefruit seed extract to suppress undesired oxidative processes and preservation.

Tocopherol is usually used in the form of acetate as D-α-tocopherol acetate. As a natural antioxidant, it extends the shelf life of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids and neutralizes free radicals. It is particularly suitable if tocopherol isolated from vegetable oils (e.g. from wheat germ oil) is used for the preparation of the balms according to the invention.

The name of the putty ice - propolis, which is used by bees to defend against unauthorized guests, implies its effect (propolis in Greek means a system of defense). Propolis is a natural antibiotic with a significant medicinal and disinfecting effect. It can be used in powder form, as a propolis ointment, but its use in the form of a concentrated alcohol macerate - tincture is particularly advantageous.

Recently, considerable attention has been paid to the use of grapefruit kernels (Semen citriparadisi), resp. extracts thereof. The possibility of their use as a so-called natural "antibiotics" probably warned for the first time by the American physicist Dr. Jakob Harich back in 1964. He noticed that grapefruit seeds, even after a long time in compost, do not undergo decomposition processes. He later found that extracts from these seeds have a beneficial effect on a wide range of infections, skin irritations and inflammatory infections of the mucous membranes.

Further experiments revealed that these extracts not only eliminated viruses and bacteria, but also many strains of fungi and parasites. The results of laboratory tests have shown that even at very low concentrations (about 1 ppm) they are

S K 60-2020 U1 effective against bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, beta hemolytic streptococcus, including yeast, for example against the dreaded Candida albicans.

In view of the above, it is expedient to envisage the use of grapefruit seed extracts in connection with the preservation of balms according to the invention.
