Description

BARRIER FLUID FOR THE SKIN
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a liquid or semi-liquid that is applied to the skin using a transfer medium, an absorbent wipe for example, or directly, spray for example, which results in a barrier layer being formed on the skin surface. The liquid or semi-liquid is formulated to facilitate the removal of any contaminants that impinge on the barrier layer. It is preferred that the barrier layer formed has a non-stick exposed surface.
Background Art

[0006] Preferably the barrier fluid has a viscosity suitable to be sprayed.
[0007] Preferably the barrier fluid has inherent anti-bacterial and/or anti-viral properties.
[0008] Preferably the barrier fluid has anti-bacterial and/or anti-viral additives included. [0009] Preferably the barrier fluid is configured to not penetrate the stratum granulosum of the epidermis.

Brief Description of Drawings
[0014] By way of example only, a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a pictorial view of the barrier fluid, transfer media, skin and barrier layer on the skin.
Figure 2 is a cross sectional view of the barrier layer on the skin with a contaminant impinging on the exposed barrier layer surface.
Figure 3 is a pictorial view of a sprayable form of the barrier fluid being applied to a skin surface.
Detailed Description
[0015] Referring to Figure 1, a barrier fluid 1 is applied to a piece of transfer media 2 which is then used to transfer the barrier fluid 1 to a skin surface 4.
[0016] The barrier fluid 1 is a liquid or semi-liquid (gel, non-Newtonian fluid, etc.).
[0017] The transfer media 2 is a piece of material that can absorb the barrier fluid 1, this is expected to be a fibrous material such as paper or cotton. Preferably the transfer media 2 breaks down in water so that if disposed of through the sewerage system it minimises the chances of forming dams. The transfer media 2 may also be selected, and/or dimensioned, to absorb only sufficient barrier fluid 1 to treat a specific surface area of skin surface 4. This self- limiting property minimises the chance of excess barrier fluid 1 being applied to the transfer media 2 or the skin surface 4, which reduces the chances that barrier fluid 1 will be applied to unintended surfaces. In many cases the transfer media 2 will be a flushable or biodegradable wipe of a known type, though as mentioned earlier, they will preferably break down quickly in the sewers to avoid forming dams.
[0018] Referring to Figure 2, the barrier fluid 1 when applied to the skin surface 4, forms a barrier layer 6. This barrier layer 6 has an exposed barrier layer surface 8 and a skin barrier layer surface 10. The exposed barrier layer surface 8 and the skin barrier layer surface 10 are opposite sides of the barrier layer 6 with the skin barrier layer surface 10 located adjacent to the skin surface 4. The barrier layer 6 acts to minimise the contamination of the skin surface 4 by a contaminant 12 that impinges on the exposed barrier layer surface 8.
[0019] It is preferred that the barrier layer 6 is non-stick, that is, a contaminant 12 impinging on the exposed barrier layer surface 8 simply slides, or falls, off, leaving minimal or no residual contaminant 12. In some instances, this non-stick property may be exhibited with certain contaminants 12 and not others. For example, the exposed barrier layer surface 8 may be hydrophobic and be non-stick when exposed to contaminants with a certain water content.
[0020] One use of the barrier fluid 1 is the application to the bottom of a user prior to going to the toilet, for example a baby or toddler. The barrier layer 6 formed on the skin surface 4 prevents any, or at least only minimal, faecal contamination of the skin. This faecal contamination simply falling or sliding off into the toilet bowl.
[0021] The barrier fluid 1 and/or barrier layer 6 are preferably biodegradable. In this description biodegradable is intended to mean that the material or item concerned can be successfully processed by a municipal effluent treatment plant or composted. In general, this will mean that the material or item can be successfully broken down biologically, whether passing through a municipal effluent treatment plant or not.
[0022] In an alternative form, as shown in Figure 3, the barrier fluid 1 is applied directly to the skin surface 4 without the use of transfer media as a spray 14. This spray 14 can be delivered from a can or spray bottle 16, or any other device that can create a suitably divided spray 14. [0023] In any of the forms described the barrier fluid 1 may have inherent antibacterial or anti viral properties, for example jojoba oil is antibacterial, as are many essential oils (tea tree, eucalyptus, pine, thyme, etc.). Alternatively, the barrier fluid 1 may contain antibacterial, antifungal or anti-viral additives.
[0024] The antibacterial, antifungal, anti-viral or anti-biotic additive(s) can be one or more known in the field, for example: a. One or more antibacterial agent independently selected from any of the following classes: - beta lactam, cephalosporins, quinolones, tetracyclines, macrolides, sulfonamides, aminoglycosides, etc.;
b. one or more antibiotics independently selected from any of the following classes: - Penicillin's, Tetracyclines, Cephalosporins, Quinolones, Lincomycin's, Macrolides, Sulfonamides, Glycopeptides, Aminoglycosides and Carbapenems;
c. one or more anti-viral agent independently selected from any of the following classes: - adamantane antivirals, antiviral boosters, antiviral combinations, antiviral interferons, chemokine receptor antagonist, integrase strand transfer inhibitor, neuraminidase inhibitors, Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), NS5A inhibitors, nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), protease inhibitors, purine nucleosides, DNA polymerase inhibitors and reverse transcriptase inhibitors, or combinations thereof; and
d. one or more antifungal agents independently selected from the following classes: - Polyene antifungals, Azole antifungals, Allylamines, Echinocandins, Aurones, Benzoic acid (often in combination with other ingredients), ciclopirox olamine, Flucytosine, 5-fluorocytosine, Griseofulvin, Tolnaftate, Undecylenic acid, Crystal, Balsam of Peru, Orotomide and Miltefosine.
[0025] Preferably the bulk of the barrier fluid 1 does not penetrate the stratum granulosum of the epidermis, though certain constituents may penetrate deeper.

[0029] In one preferred form the transfer media 2 will be provided pre-treated with the barrier fluid 1 in a sealed pouch, so that the transfer media 2 can simply be used and disposed of. If the barrier layer 6 requires a solvent to be removed, then in one configuration the transfer media 2 could be double sided with the barrier fluid 1 on one face and the removal solvent on the other.
