Patent number: 10307366Abstract: A method useful for inhibiting moisture loss from skin comprises the step of administering a composition to a subject's skin. The composition comprises a first humectant and a second humectant different from the first humectant. The humectants are useful for increasing moisture content of the subject's skin, specifically the subject's epidermis. The first humectant may comprise a conventional humectant, e.g. glycerol. The second humectant generally comprises certain types of honey. The honey is capable of inhibiting moisture loss from the subject's epidermis and/or moisture loss from the first humectant when the subject is exposed to dry air conditions, e.g. wintertime air having a relative humidity of about 50% or less. Specifically, the second humectant is useful for mitigating adverse effects of the first humectant under certain conditions.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2017Date of Patent: June 4, 2019Assignee: ACCESS BUSINESS GROUP INTERNATIONAL LLCInventors: Ernest H. Brumbaugh, Hilary Cadeau Kindt, Kelly M. Glynn
