The medicament comprises coal ash, grape seeds, pine bark extracts, a tincture of African potato (Hypoxis rooperi), calcium ascorbate and bioflavanoids. The medicament is effective in the treatment of immuno-deficiency conditions such as HIV/AIDS and cancer. The medicament improves and maintains the immune system of a user, reduces the frequency of opportunistic infections, accelerates healing and assists in the promotion of well-being.
’ The applicant has subsequently found that a composition similar to the above medicament is an effective dermatological composition for the treatment of skin conditions in mammals.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a dermatological composition for the treatment of skin conditions in mammals, which is a useful alternative to known compositions.
According to a first aspect of the invention there is provided a dermatological composition for the treatment of skin conditions in mammals comprising a pharmaceutically effective amount of coal ash in a suitable dermatologically acceptable carrier.
The carrier may be in a form selected from the group consisting of a liquid, a gel, a lotion and a cream.
The coal ash may comprise from 2% to 10%, preferably 2.48% of the composition on a mass per mass basis.
The composition may further include any one or more of the additives selected from the group consisting of grapeseed extract, lemon bioflavonoid, Hypoxis hemerocallidea (African potato), calcium ascorbate, a preservative and a fragrance.
The grapeseed extract may comprise between 0.02% and 5%, preferably 0.03% of the composition on a mass per mass basis.
The lemon bioflavonoid may comprise between 0.001% and 2%, preferably 0.01% of the composition on a mass per mass basis.
The Hypoxis hemerocallidea may comprise from 0.05% to 20%, preferably 0.26% of the composition on a mass per mass basis.
The calcium ascorbate may comprise from 0.01% to 2%, preferably 0.01% of the composition on a mass per mass basis.
The preservative may be alcohol.
The alcohol may be from 90% to 98% pure alcohol, preferably 94.4% pure alcohol.
The alcohol may comprise from 0.02% to 15% of the composition on a mass per mass basis.
: The fragrance may comprise from 0.01% to 5%, preferably 0.09% of the composition on a mass per mass basis.
The composition may be in the form of an ointment, a cream, a soap, a paste, a lotion or liquid soap.
The carrier may be in the form of any one of the following: aqueous cream, aqueous lotion and alcohol.
The carrier may comprise from 5% to 98% of the composition on a mass per mass basis.
The composition may be effective in the treatment of any one or more skin conditions selected from the group consisting of fungal and bacterial infections; pimples and acne; ulcers of the mouth; sunburn; abrasions; chafing; chapping; itching; diaper rash; and eczema.
The composition may further be effective as a cosmetic composition for use in toning and revitalising the skin; reducing dark pigmentation and dark circles under the eyes; reducing wrinkles; reducing stretch marks; and in nourishing the skin.
According to a second aspect of the invention there is provided a pharmaceutically effective amount of coal ash in a suitable dermatologically acceptable carrier for use in the treatment of skin conditions in mammals.
The skin conditions may be selected from the group consisting of fungal and bacterial infections; pimples and acne; ulcers of the mouth; sunburn; abrasions; chafing; chapping; itching; diaper rash; and eczema.
The composition may further be effective as a cosmetic composition for use in toning and revitalising the skin; reducing dark pigmentation and dark circles under the eyes; reducing wrinkles; reducing stretch marks; and in nourishing the skin.
According to a third aspect of the invention there is provided use of coal ash in a suitable dermatologically acceptable carrier in the manufacture of a composition for treating skin conditions in mammals.
The skin conditions may be selected from the group consisting of fungal and bacterial infections; pimples and acne; ulcers of the mouth; sunburn; abrasions; chafing; chapping; itching; diaper rash; and eczema.
The composition may further be effective as a cosmetic composition for use in toning and revitalising the skin; reducing dark pigmentation and dark circles
’ under the eyes; reducing wrinkles; reducing stretch marks; and in nourishing the skin.
The invention will now be described further by way of non-limiting examples.
According to a first embodiment of the invention a dermatological composition for the treatment of skin conditions in mammals comprises a pharmaceutically effective amount of coal ash in a suitable dermatologically acceptable carrier.
The suitable dermatologically acceptable carrier is in the form of a liquid, a gel, a lotion and a cream. More specifically, the carrier is in the form of aqueous cream, in the case of the composition being in the form of a cream. In the case of the composition being in the form of a lotion, the carrier is in the form of aqueous lotion; and in the case of the composition being in the form of soap, the carrier is in the form of alcohol.
