Publication number: 20140348873Abstract: Compositions and methods for urea silicone gels for treating hyperkeratotic skin diseases that may benefit from barrier protection and from urea silicone gel's ability to return water balance to the skin are disclosed. Skin conditions that may be treated with urea silicone gels may be excessive dryness, callus, corns, old and new scars, and keloids, among others. Disclosed urea silicone gels may include micronized urea USP, and an anhydrous silicone base, among other ingredients. Anhydrous silicone base may include Amazonian oils such as pracaxi oil and seje oil, which are rich in oleic, linolenic, linoleic acids, and sterols, particularly beta-sitosterol and stigmasterol, which may increase skin permeability to urea. Additionally, because of the high content of unsaturated fatty acids of pracaxi oil and seje oil, disclosed urea silicone gel may exhibit an enhanced hydrating effect on skin cells, over-moisturizing and hydrating tough, thick hyperkeratotic conditions.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2013Publication date: November 27, 2014Applicant: PROFESSIONAL COMPOUNDING CENTERS OF AMERICAInventor: Fabiana Campanati Banov

Patent number: RE46788Abstract: The present invention relates to bioactive ingredients that include isolated bioactive fractions derived from cell juice of fresh biomass of a feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) plant. The bioactive fractions are either free of or substantially free of ?-unsaturated ?-lactones (e.g., parthenolide). Further, the bioactive fractions have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity. The present invention also relates to a method for isolating a bioactive fraction that is derived from cell juice of fresh biomass of a feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) plant and that is at least substantially free of ?-unsaturated ?-lactones (e.g., parthenolide). The present invention also relates to a method for preparing a stabilized cell juice serum fraction and a stabilized concentrated cell juice serum fraction that are free of ?-unsaturated ?-lactones (e.g., parthenolide).Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2016Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: ISP INVESTMENTS LLCInventor: Michael Koganov
