  • Patent number: 11980780
    Abstract: The invention comprises a shampoo apparatus and method of use thereof, comprising: putting a shampoo and carbon dioxide into a container, at least a portion of the carbon dioxide comprising at least one of a solid form and a liquid form; sealing the container; warming the carbon dioxide by at least fifty degrees Fahrenheit to form a carbon dioxide gas, the carbon dioxide gas at least partially dissolved in the shampoo, the carbon dioxide gas comprising a concentration of one-half to ten percent of the shampoo by mass; and pressurizing the container to a pressure exceeding sixty pounds per square inch, such as where a headspace forms in the container, the headspace comprising the carbon dioxide at a concentration greater than one thousand parts per million, where the pressurized carbon dioxide yields a propulsive force, a foam expansion function, and a cleaning function.

  • Patent number: 11890284
    Abstract: The invention comprises a shampoo apparatus and method of use thereof, comprising: (1) a pressurized container, a pressure in the container in a range of seventy to two hundred pounds per square inch and (2) a shampoo in the container, the shampoo comprising greater than five thousand parts per million carbon dioxide, where the shampoo optionally contains a detergent, zinc pyrrolidone carboxylic acid, and/or minoxidil. The carbon dioxide in the container is optionally added as a solid or a liquid and/or is chemically formed inside the container, such as from any of a carbonic acid, a bicarbonate, a bicarbonate salt, and/or a carbonate. The carbon dioxide solvates/makes soluble and aids removal of sebacic acid on the scalp.

  • Publication number: 20230303279
    Abstract: The invention comprises a method of making and/or using a shampoo, comprising the steps of: placing shampoo into a container; combining a carbon dioxide precursor with the shampoo; sealing the container to yield a sealed container; and forming carbon dioxide inside the sealed container from the carbon dioxide precursor, the carbon dioxide formed in the sealed container comprising a concentration of greater than one thousand parts per million. Optionally and preferably, the sealed container includes a finger operated valve to release the shampoo from the container and at least one of a carbonic acid, a bicarbonate, and/or a carbonate as the carbon dioxide precursor, where a reaction forms at least one-half of dissolved carbon dioxide in the sealed container.

  • Patent number: 8685470
    Abstract: A natural product energy formulation is provided for a pet, which synergistically aids in (1) function of the heart, (2) energy production, such as in muscles, and/or (3) enhances removal of toxic free radicals. For example, the natural product energy formulation enhances function of the heart, by the use of CoQ10; enables the body to produce more energy through enhanced efficiency of the Krebs cycle, such as by use of L-carnitine; and aids in the removal of waste and/or toxins produced in the body, such as by providing anti-oxidants. Hence, the energy formulation synergistically optimizes the heart, muscles, and toxin removal at the same time, which allows for a more active, healthy, and/or interactive pet, where the pet can prolong duration of exercise, increase intensity of exercise, and recover faster. The natural product formulation for pets optionally contains a lipotropic constituent to aid in fat metabolism and/or weight loss.
