Abstract
A composition for conditioning the skin and for treating pseudofolliculitis barbae. Also disclosed is a method for making said composition. The composition is comprised of water, Aloe Vera juice, ammonium alum, glycerine, and ethanol. It can be made using relatively unsophisticated processing equipment. The process essentially comprises adding Aloe Vera juice to water, heating the water almost to its boiling point, adding glycerine and ammonium alum, allowing the mixture to cool, and adding a small amount of ethanol to avoid precipitation of the ammonium alum during prolonged storage.
Claims8
A topical agent for treating pseudofolliculitis barbae and conditioning the skin, consisting essentially of:
- a. Aloe Vera mixed in a volume of water, wherein the weight of said Aloe Vera and said water combined is in the range of from about 85% to about 90% of the total weight of said topical agent;
- b. glycerine, wherein the weight of said glycerine is in the range of from about 2% to about 5% of the total weight of said topical agent;
- c. ammonium alum, wherein the weight of said ammonium alum is in the range of from about 2% to about 5% of the total weight of said topical agent, and;
- d. ethanol, wherein the weight of said ethanol is in the range of from about 4% to about 9% of the total weight of said topical agent.
