Two part oxygen generating system
View Patent ↗There is provided a two part spray for the liberation and delivery of oxygen through the use of a first part that is a peroxide-containing solution and a second part that is a nanoparticle manganese dioxide catalyst. When the two parts are mixed together, the ensuing reaction results in the liberation of oxygen.
1. A two part spray for the liberation and delivery of oxygen for cosmetic formulations, the spray comprising a first part that includes a peroxide-containing solution and a second part that includes a nanoparticle manganese dioxide catalyst solution, wherein mixing the nanoparticle manganese dioxide catalyst solution with said peroxide containing solution results in the liberation of oxygen, wherein the spray is in the form of an aerosol, wherein the first part and the second part of the two part spray are stored in separate reservoirs of a container until liberation of oxygen is desired, further wherein the manganese dioxide nanoparticles have an average size between about 5 and 500 nanometers, are present in the catalyst solution at a concentration between 25 and 100 ppm, or a combination thereof.
2. The two part spray of claim 1 , wherein said spray is aqueous, non-aqueous, or a mixture thereof.
3. The two part spray of claim 1 , further comprising a natural or synthetic polymer, a moisturizer, a humectant, a viscosity modifier, an emollient, a texture enhancer, a UV blocking agent, a colorant, a pigment, a ceramic, an antioxidant, a fragrance, or a combination thereof.
4. The two part spray of claim 1 , wherein the manganese dioxide nanoparticles have an average size between about 50 and 300 nanometers.
5. The two part spray of claim 1 , wherein the second part may be a liquid, gel, foam or emulsion of oil in water or water in oil.
6. The two part spray of claim 1 , wherein the concentration of manganese dioxide in the second part is between 25 and 100 ppm.
7. The two part spray of claim 1 , wherein the concentration of manganese dioxide in the second part is between 75 and 100 ppm.
8. The two part spray of claim 1 , wherein the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in the first part is from a positive amount to about 3 weight percent.
9. The two part spray of claim 1 , wherein the spray is alkaline.
10. The two part spray of claim 1 , wherein the manganese dioxide catalyst solution further comprises an additional catalyst.
11. The two part spray of claim 10 , wherein the additional catalyst is sodium bicarbonate, calcium hydroxide, or a combination thereof.
12. A two part spray for the liberation and delivery of oxygen for cosmetic formulations comprising a first part that includes a peroxide-containing solution containing less than 3 weight percent hydrogen peroxide and a second part that includes a nanoparticle manganese dioxide catalyst solution, wherein said nanoparticles have an average size between about 50 and 300 nanometers and are present in the catalyst solution at a concentration between 25 and 100 ppm, wherein the first part and the second part of the two part spray are stored in separate reservoirs of a container until liberation of oxygen is desired, wherein the two parts, when mixed together as an aerosol, result in the liberation of oxygen.
13. The two part spray of claim 11 , further comprising a natural or synthetic polymer, a moisturizer, a humectant, a viscosity modifier, a emollient, a texture enhancer, a UV blocking agent, a colorant, a pigment, a ceramic, an antioxidant, a fragrance, or a combination thereof.
14. The two part spray of claim 11 , wherein the spray is alkaline.
15. The two part spray of claim 11 , further comprising an additional catalyst.
16. The two part spray of claim 15 , wherein the second catalyst is sodium bicarbonate, calcium hydroxide, or a combination thereof.
