Abstract: A distillation process for separating a target component from a mixture containing a solvent and the target includes the steps of flashing off a vapor mixture of said solvent and said target in an evaporator, separating said target from said vapor mixture, and providing additional solvent to said evaporator to maintain the temperature of said evaporator substantially below the boiling point of said target. The process also includes the step of removing accumulated non-volatile components from said evaporator by allowing the non-volatile components to precipitate from a mixture of the target and the solvent.

Abstract: A device for cleansing skin includes a small cup forming a cavity and a spray nozzle connected to a source of cleansing fluid. The cup is easily manipulated to place the edge of the cup on the surface of skin to be cleansed so that the nozzle is aimed at the skin. The cup prevents splattering of the fluid. A drain line may be included in the cup to drain spent washing fluids.
