Abstract:
The present invention provides unique, efficacious, inexpensive, safe, reliable, convenient, minimally bitter, skin protecting and penetrating, easy-to-administer base compositions and active agent-containing compositions, such as those including hydrocortisone, and related production and topical application methods, for treating the skin of mammals for a wide variety of different dermatologic conditions, disorders and diseases, such as inflammation, redness, cracking, insect bites, dryness, allergic reactions, trauma, irritant dermatitis, perleche, contact dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, acne excoriate, xerosis, eczema craquele, stasis dermatitis, disease related conditions and dryness from medications such as isotretinoin, acitretin and lipid lowering agents. This is effected by topically administering, or otherwise applying, effective amounts of the compositions thereto in forms that not only address the skin and mucosa of the mouth and lips, but also of the rest of the body and, in particular, areas where other topical balms containing hydrocortisone and other active ingredients have not been developed or marketed. Additionally, the flavoring addition to this product, and the base wherein the active ingredient(s) reside, affords a significantly better tasting, and less bitter, composition, thereby allowing a more pleasant experience and better compliance by patients. Larger sized stick formulation(s) allow for more applicability of the product, and more usefulness thereof, in various areas, and mucosal skin, of the body. The compositions include a unique formulation of FANCOL VB, Natunola Castor 1023, Finsolv TN, bees wax and, optionally, one or a plurality of plant or plant seed oils, fatty alcohols, fats and flavorings, in desirable weight percents thereof, in various forms, and preferably in the form of a solid roll-on stick present in a variety of sizes.
