Abstract
Described herein relates to a topical anhydrous, homogenous pharmaceutical composition for treating skin disorder and wounds comprising cod liver oil, hempseed oil, monolaurin, medium chain triglycerides (“MCT”), free fatty acids, sea salt, and vegetable oil selected from the group consisting of red palm concentrate, coconut oil, and red palm oil and combination thereof and optionally fish collagen, ascorbyl palmitate, thickening agent, such as beeswax, red palm concentrate and cetyl ester.
Claims20
A method for synthesizing an anhydrous topical composition comprising an omega fatty acid product, the method comprising:
- subjecting a mixture to a heating vessel and a cooling vessel to yield a homogenous oil product;
- using the homogenous oil product, a derivative thereof, or both to form the anhydrous topical composition comprising the omega fatty acid product, wherein the omega fatty acid product comprises (i) about 5% to about 30% cod liver oil by weight;
- (ii) about 10% to about 30% hempseed oil by weight;
- (iii) about 2% to about 8% thickening agent by weight;
- (iv) about 0.3% to about 0.6% ascorbyl palmitate by weight;
- and (v) a fish collagen;
- wherein the ascorbyl palmitate is sterically hindered from entering the fish collagen, whereby the ascorbyl palmitate precipitates on an outer surface of the fish collagen;
- and
- wherein subsequent to the thickening agent and the ascorbyl palmitate being incorporated within the omega fatty acid product, the combination of the thickening agent and ascorbyl palmitate inhibits the cod liver oil, the hempseed oil, or both from seeping from the fish collagen.
A method for synthesizing an anhydrous topical composition, the method comprising:
- blending cod liver oil, hempseed oil, and medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) into a mixture within an inert atmosphere at a temperature between about 40° C. and about 80° C., thereby ensuring homogeneity;
- incorporating ascorbyl palmitate into the blended mixture;
- introducing a fish collagen into the blended mixture while maintaining the temperature between about 40° C. and about 80° C., thereby ensuring uniform penetration of the cod liver oil, the hempseed oil, or both into a plurality of pores of the fish collagen;
- adjusting the temperature, the inert atmosphere, or both until the blended mixture forms a hard, ambient solid product;
- and
- whipping the product under an additional inert gas to achieve a viscosity suitable for extrusion from a packaging.
A method for treating a skin condition, the method comprising:
- applying a therapeutically effective dose of a topical composition to the skin condition, a surrounding periwound, or both the topical composition comprising:
- about 5% to about 30% cod liver oil by weight;
- about 10% to about 30% hempseed oil by weight;
- about 2% to about 8% thickening agent by weight;
- about 0.3% to about 0.6% ascorbyl palmitate by weight;
- and
- a fish collagen;
- wherein the ascorbyl palmitate is sterically hindered from entering the fish collagen, whereby the ascorbyl palmitate precipitates on an outer surface of the fish collagen;
- and
- wherein subsequent to the thickening agent and the ascorbyl palmitate being incorporated within the omega fatty acid product, the combination of the thickening agent and ascorbyl palmitate inhibits the cod liver oil, the hempseed oil, or both from seeping from the fish collagen.
