Publication number: 20150078799Abstract: An inductively-heated applicator system including a heating module and applicator or applicator pen. The heating module includes a dock for seating the applicator. The heating module includes circuitry to selectively generate an electromagnetic field to wirelessly provide energy to the applicator when it is positioned in the dock. The heating module may also include temperature control circuitry to at least one of monitor and control the temperature of the applicator. The applicator pen includes a heating element that may be heated through energy provided by the electromagnetic field. The heating element may be directly inductively heated by the electromagnetic field. The heating element may be a roller element that heats and applies the product. Alternatively, the applicator may include a secondary in which electrical power is induced when the electromagnetic field is present. In this alternative, the power may be applied to the heating element to produce resistive heat.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2014Publication date: March 19, 2015Inventors: David W. Baarman, Richard Bylsma, Thomas Jay Leppien, Jesse C. Leverett, Steve O. Mork

Patent number: 7824708Abstract: Disclosed herein is a composition comprising a liposome, a cardiolipin, and at least one antioxidant, wherein the composition is useful for improving, maintaining, or restoring a mitochondrial membrane and/or mitochondrial function. In one example, the liposome is primarily composed of phosphatidylcholine, the cardiolipin is tetraoleoyl-cardiolipin, and the at least one antioxidant is methylgentisate, l-carnosine, or both. The composition may be topically administered, orally administered, or parenterally administered, for example administered by injection. If topically administered, the composition may be administered for example, as a cream, lotion, gel, paste, spray, tonic, or other suitable form and may contain various additives, for example, one or more of an emollient, a humectant, a penetration enhancer, a vitamin, a fragrance, a pigment, and a moisturizer.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2006Date of Patent: November 2, 2010Assignee: Access Business Group International LLCInventors: Jesse C.

Patent number: 7094395Abstract: A method for producing a colored cosmetic composition having inorganic pigments resistant to agglomeration in an oil-in-water emulsion. The method includes the following: preparing an oil dispersion by adding inorganic pigments directly to an oil; preparing an aqueous base that includes water; combining the oil dispersion and aqueous base; and partitioning the inorganic pigments between the oil and the aqueous phase under controlled conditions, for example, hydrophile-lipophile balance, agitation time and speed, and cooling rate. The present invention provides a process to easily disperse iron-oxide pigments, even black iron-oxide pigments, in oil-in-water emulsions. The present invention provides colored cosmetic compositions that have excellent properties, such as smoothness, adhesion to skin, uniform color, ease of removal, smudge resistance and non-oiliness.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2002Date of Patent: August 22, 2006Assignee: Access Business Group International LLCInventors: Di Qu, Jesse C.
