Publication number: 20060003017Abstract: The invention relates to structured water and its antioxidant activity. In addition, the present invention relates to antioxidants incorporated within the cluster structure of either electropositive (S water) or electronegative (I water). The structured water, having the antioxidant within its cluster structure, has a stabilizing effect on the antioxidant. In addition, the antioxidant activity inherent to structured water is enhanced by the presence of the antioxidant within its cluster structure. The present invention also includes methods of removing or reducing free radicals on the skin and thereby preventing the signs of skin aging and the risks of cancer associated with the presence of free radicals in the skin.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2005Publication date: January 5, 2006Inventors: Vasile Ionita-Manzatu, Mirela Ionita-Manzatu, Gheorghe Cioca, Andrew Bevacqua

Publication number: 20040198843Abstract: The invention relates to a water-thin emulsion comprising a non-phospholipid, non-ethoxylated pseudoemulsifier system, the system having a chemical composition with at least one hydrophobic moiety and at least one polar moiety, the size, shape and/or planar arrangement of the hydrophobic and polar moieties being asymmetrical with respect to each other. The emulsion of the invention is prepared by high-pressure homogenization of a crude oil and water emulsion containing the pseudoemulsifier. The emulsions require little or no traditional emulsifier to maintain stability, and are particularly useful in the preparation of multiple emulsions.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2004Publication date: October 7, 2004Inventors: Liliana George, Andrew J.

Publication number: 20020187203Abstract: The invention relates to structured water and the ability to achieve antimicrobial activity when the structured water has two antimicrobial agents in its cluster structure. One of the two antimicrobial agents can be stabilizing agent for the other antimicrobial agent. Thus, the antimicrobial structured water contains a combination of positively charged ions having antimicrobial activity and a stabilizing agent present within its cluster structure. In particular, the present invention relates to potassium sorbate and ionic silver incorporated within the cluster structure of either electropositive (S water) or electronegative (I water). The structured water, having the stabilizing agent and the positively charged ions incorporated within the cluster structure of structured water acts as a preservative when used in cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions. The structured water of the present invention also has a stabilizing effect on the antimicrobial activity of the ionic silver.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2001Publication date: December 12, 2002Inventors: Gheorghe Cioca, Mirela Cristina Ionita-Manzatu, Steven F.
