Abstract: Skin treatment solution and method having an aqueous, dissociable, sodium salt solution with a pH in the 6.0-8.0 range and containing enough sodium to substantially remove testosterone from the skin area to which the solution is applied topically. The sodium salt solution has sodium chloride as the major salt constituent and much smaller amounts of choline chloride, inositol, pantothenic acid and vitamin E, as well as a surfactant and sodium fluoride as a preservative.

Abstract: A topical application composition for mitigating male pattern baldness and testosterone-induced acne contains, as essential active, androgen-reducing components (a) a testosterone-reducing amount of an ionizable sodium salt, and (b) an association of compounds for forming, androgen segregating cellular proliferation phospholipids. The association includes lecithin, soy oil, phosphoric acid, choline chloride and optionally inositol and a nonionic surfactant in an amount for solubilizing and/or dispersing components (a) and (b) in a cosmetically-compatible vehicle for topical application.
