Abstract
Methods are provided for preparing compositions suitable for protecting irritated or damaged skin from further oxidative and biochemical damage and thus permitting natural healing processes to progress, for accelerating the rate of healing of burns and surgical wounds, and for increasing the size of hair follicles and the rate of hair growth. The compositions generally comprise precipitates formed by the complexation of peptone digests of various proteins with copper(II) salts, indium (III) salts, tin(II) salts and tin(IV) salts.
Claims9
