These “derivatives” are made by a very simple in-situ method. These “derivatives” provide enhanced bioavailability of both ingredients that are combined to form such derivatives. The “derivatives” of present invention can be formulated in a wide variety of delivery systems including traditional water and oil emulsions, suspensions, colloids, solutions, or anhydrous systems.

  • Patent number: 5725875
    Abstract: A protective cream composition contains 15 to 40 wt % of an alkali metal fatty acid salt having from 8 to 18 carbon atoms, an effective amount of a topical agent such as an antimicrobial compound, 5 to 20 wt. % of a polyol effective as an emollient, 0.5 to 8.0 wt. %, of an alkali metal silicate, and the balance water. Such a composition can be applied to the skin to protect health care workers and other from infection. The cream dries to form a topical barrier on the skin, and also contains an agent effective against, for instance, viruses such as human HIV. Once a medical operation is completed, the film formed from the dried cream can be washed off with soap and water. Other topical agents present in the composition include, for instance, suncreens, insect repellents and chemical repellents.
