The products are very mild to the skin and may be easily formulated into a wide variety of personal care and dermatological products.
Claims40
A topical emulsion formulation comprising
- a) washed oil bodies which are substantially intact and wherein the oil bodies are obtained from a plant and
- b) an ingredient selected from the group consisting of surfactants, emollients, fragrances, preservative, anti-oxidants, emulsion stabilizing agents, active agents, moisturizers, viscosity modifying agents, chelating agents, pigments, lipids, inorganic salts, natural ingredients, thickening agents, and mixtures thereof.
A method for preparing an emulsion formulation comprising:
- (1) obtaining oil bodies from a plant cell;
- (2) washing the oil bodies to obtain a washed oil body preparation comprising substantially intact oil bodies;
- and
- (3) formulating the washed oil body preparation with an ingredient selected from the group consisting of surfactants, emollients, fragrances, preservative agents, anti-oxidants, emulsion stabilizing agents, active agents, moisturizers, viscosity modifying agents, chelating agents, pigments, lipids, inorganic salts, natural ingredients, thickening agents, and mixtures thereof into an emulsion formulation for application to the surface area of the human body.

A method for preparing an emulsion formulation comprising:
- (1) obtaining oil bodies from plant seeds by a method that comprises:
- grinding plant seeds to obtain ground seeds comprising substantially intact oil bodies;
- removing solids from the ground seeds;
- and
- separating the oil body phase from the aqueous phase;
- (2) washing the oil body phase to yield a washed oil body preparation comprising substantially intact oil bodies;
- and
- (3) formulating the washed oil body preparation with an ingredient selected from the group consisting of surfactants, emollients, fragrances, preservative agents, anti-oxidants, emulsion stabilizing agents, active agents, moisturizers, viscosity modifying agents, chelating agents, pigments, lipids, inorganic salts, natural ingredients, thickening agents, and mixtures thereof into an emulsion formulation for application to the surface area of the human body.
