  • Skin care preparation and method
    Patent number: 5851543
    Abstract: A composition and method for treatment of skin. The composition comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier containing a bilayer component having one or more polar terminus groups and one or more non-polar terminus groups separated from said polar terminus groups capable of penetrating the outer surface of the skin to form an aligned bilayer within the stratum corneum. The bilayer assists in the formation of bilayer lamellae that is believed to replicate the bilayer lamellae present in healthy skin. The composition is topically applied to the skin as often as is required.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 26, 1997
    Date of Patent: December 22, 1998
    Assignee: Shipley Company, L.L.C.

  • Dry eye treatment process and solution
    Patent number: 5578586
    Abstract: A method and composition for reducing evaporation of an aqueous layer from the surface of the eye. The method comprises applying an admixture of a charged phospholipid and a non-polar oil over the eye, preferably in the form of a meta-stable oil in water emulsion in a dosage not exceeding 100 microliters.

  • Dry eye treatment solution and method
    Patent number: 4914088
    Abstract: A method and composition for treating dry eye. The method comprises addition of a positively or negatively charged, complex phospholipid to the ocular surface of the eye. The phospholipid is desirably added in a treatment composition, preferably in the form of an aqueous emulsion. It is believed that the phospholipid component of the treatment composition permits replication of a tear film.
