Publication number: 20140199367Abstract: The present invention relates to liquid application for skin rejuvenation created from specific amino acids, lipids, nucleic acids and vitamins. This collection of molecules delivers precisely the factors necessary to a specific site requiring healing; a direct intervention system to most expeditiously remodel skin with building blocks. This delivery is a transdermal topical delivery and healing is via specific molecules that engender a false autocoid reaction rapidly followed by an incremental healing-anti-inflammatory response augmented by very specific GRAS ingredients in the invention and also recruited from the body to this needy site. Energy is brought to site by transdermally delivered protons and enhanced by the local vascular flow initiated by transdermal molecules. This delivery system bypasses digestion and dilution. Key is a lipophilic carrier with nuclear and mitochondrial ligands that rapidly penetrate and permeate all membranes and truncates the inflammatory site quickly manifesting curation.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2013Publication date: July 17, 2014Inventor: Donald P.

Publication number: 20140186278Abstract: An anhydrous multiphase gel system consisting of an outer lipid matrix and an inner phase gelled by means of a polymer is described, which can be obtained by a) Melting the lipid phase with the formation of a liquid lipid phase, b) Mixing and homogenizing polymers or polymer blends capable of swelling with the formation of a polymer phase to be dispersed, c) Combining the polymer phase with the liquid lipid phase and homogenizing the phases, and d) Cold stirring the phase mixture until a solid gel-like mixed structure of the entire system is formed. The anhydrous multiphase gel system is particularly suitable for taking up difficulty soluble active substances in high concentration and for providing topical and transdermal applications. The described system is called an EDRS, “Entrapped Drug Reservoir System”.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2013Publication date: July 3, 2014Inventor: Patrick Franke
