Abstract

A topical drying composition is providing containing trehalose as the effective moisture (sweat) removing ingredient. The composition may be used in aqueous form or preferably as a cream and in addition to trehalose it contains several ingredients such as sorbitan monolaurate, polysorbitan, a moisturizer, a thickener, a softener, an antibacterial agent and a pH adjusting component to adjust the pH of the composition between about 5.5 to about 7.5. Sterilized water is used as the carrier for the composition.
The topical composition can be applied to the area which is vulnerable to sweating after vigorous exercise in order to moisturize sweating on the skin.

Description

    RELATED APPLICATIONS
  • This application is a continuation of co-pending application Ser. No. 12/214,863 filed Jun. 24, 2008.
  • FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates generally to topical drying composition and is particularly related to topical drying composition containing effective amount of trehalose as the drying ingredient. In its more specific aspect, this invention relates to a topical drying composition containing an effective amount of trehalose which enhances drying the skin when it is topically applied to the skin of persons, such as athletes, after perspiration due to exercise, such as playing tennis, golf, aerobics or after other strenuous sweat-producing activities.
  • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • Trehalose is a known non-reducing disaccharide composed of D+glucose units. It is a white, odorless, sweet-tasting powder and, like maltose, is about 45% as sweet as sugar and has a very low hydroscopicity (moisture attraction). Trehalose is found in honey, bread, beer and seafood and there are several prior art patents relating to various uses of trehalose. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,839,164 discloses cosmetic compositions containing trehalose which increase the penetration of certain therapeutically beneficial ingredients into the skin thereby enhancing the therapeutic effects of those ingredients on the skin. The trehalose is used in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and several trehalose-containing formulations are disclosed in said patent, such as shampoo formulations, hair-conditioning formulations, skin care gel formulations, lotions, and skin care creams.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,543,513 discloses the use of anhydrous trehalose as a desiccant for dehydrating various products such as dehydrated food as well as dehydrated pharmaceuticals. High-quality food products having reduced moisture content can be prepared by incorporating anhydrous trehalose into food products having relatively high moisture content thereby converting the anhydrous trehalose into hydrous crystalline trehalose.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,555,526 discloses an ophthalmic pharmaceutical composition comprising trehalose as the effective ingredient. As disclosed in said patent, there are three types of optical isomers of trehalose, i.e., ∝,∝-trehalose, ∝,β-trehalose and β,β-trehalose. All isomers exert therapeutic and/or prophylactic effect on signs of Sjorgen syndrome.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,723,170 discloses a crystalline trehalose dihydrate with low hydroscopicity. Variety of uses are disclosed for the crystalline trehalose dihydrate, including its use as a sweetener, taste-improving agent, in feeds and pet foods for animals, in soaps, skin creams, body shampoos, hair creams, moisture-controlling agent and a host of other uses disclosed in said patent.
  • Notwithstanding a variety of uses of trehalose disclosed in the prior art patents, none, so far is known, recognize the efficacy of trehalose for use in a topical drying composition.
  • Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to use trehalose in a topical drying composition.
  • It is a further object of the present invention to provide a topical drying composition containing trehalose as the effective ingredient for sweat removal.
  • It is also an object of this invention to provide a topical drying composition containing effective amount of trehalose and a suitable carrier:
  • It is another object of this invention to provide a method of drying the skin by the topical application of trehalose-containing composition in which trehalose is the effective skin drying ingredient.
  • The foregoing and other objects and features of the present invention will be more clearly understood from the ensuing description and illustrative examples.
  • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • This invention provides a topical drying composition containing an effective amount of trehalose, in hydrous and/or anhydrous form, in an acceptable carrier such as sterilized water. The composition further includes sorbitan monolaurate, polysorbitan and a pH adjuster in an amount to adjust the pH of the composition between about 5.5 to about 7.5. The pH adjusting ingredient may be sodium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium hydrogen phosphate and borax, or a mixtures thereof.
  • The composition of this invention may be prepared in cream form and thus may include a thickener such as carbomer Ultrex 10, EDTA softener, moisturizer such as dimethicone 200, cocoa butter to impart smoothness to the cream, and antibacterial agent such as sodium benzoate and potassium benzoate.
  • The composition; whether in aqueous solution form or as a cream, is applied to the skin in the areas which are vulnerable to perspiration after vigorous exercise. When tested by several volunteers, they responded with virtually no perspiration after several hours of vigorous exercise in a gym on a bicycle or treadmill, or even after several miles of jogging when normally the subjects experienced perspiration in the past when they did not apply the composition.
  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • The topical drying compositions of this invention are provided as aqueous solutions or preferably as creams with desirable consistency. The trehalose ingredient in these compositions may be the hydrous form, anhydrous form or mixture of the hydrous and anhydrous trehalose, and the composition may include a “buffer” as hereinafter described in order to control the pH at a desired level. An antibacterial agent may also be included in or due to impart antibacterial property to the composition.

  • The method of use of the composition simply involves applying by hand a generous amount to the skin in the area vulnerable to sweating, and spreading the composition to cover that area. When using the composition in aqueous solution form, it may be applied similarly, or from a container with an applicator or a spray nozzle.
  • While the aforementioned compositions have been described with certain degree of specificity, it is obvious to those skilled in the art of formulating such compositions that several changes or modification may be made which are nevertheless suggested from the foregoing detailed description.
  • Optionally, other ingredients may be included in the cream formulation described in the foregoing examples. For example, the addition of a bovine collagen (1% aqueous solution of alphahydroxy proline help restore the elasticity in the skin along with 1% aqueous solution of elastin. Also, while the hydrous trehalose is used as the effective ingredient, anhydrous trehalose may be used instead, or in combination with hydrous trehalose. Also aqueous buffer solutions of trehalose, hydrous and/or anhydrous have been, found effective topical drying compositions.
