Therapeutic compositions
View Patent ↗The present invention discloses a non-irritating tea tree oil (TTO)-based topical therapeutic composition useful for both veterinary and human dermatology. The composition comprises a homogeneous mixture of TTO, 0.05 to 1.0% (wt/wt); at least one hypertonic composition providing the said TTO-based composition to 1700 to 2500 mOsm/L, 10 to 60% (wt/wt); and inorganic salts, 0.01% to 0.50% (wt/wt) and it is characterized by an effective, rapid & wide spectrum of action while being non-irritant to patient skin.
1. A non-irritating tea tree oil (TTO)-based topical therapeutic composition useful for both veterinary and human dermatology comprising a homogeneous mixture of:
a. TTO, 0.5% (wt/wt);
b. at least one hypertonic composition; and
c. inorganic salts consisting of a mixture of copper gluconate provided in 0.03% (wt/wt) and either zinc gluconate or zinc oxide provided in 0.03% (wt/wt),
characterized by an effective, rapid and wide spectrum of action whilst being non-irritant to patient skin,
wherein said at least one hypertonic composition consists of:
dextrose provided in 50% (wt/wt);
aqua as a moisturizer provided in 42.54% (wt/wt);
glycerin as a humectant provided in 5% (wt/wt);
xanthan gum as a thickener provided in 0.6% (wt/wt);
hydroxyethylcellulose as a thickener provided in 0.6% (wt/wt);
a mixture of phenoxyethanol, caprylyl glycol and chlorphenesin as a preservative provided in 0.6% (wt/wt); and
sodium benzoate as a preservative provided in 0.1% (wt/wt);
further wherein said hypertonic composition provides said TTO-based composition above 1700 mOsm/L.
2. A method of producing the non-irritating tea tree oil (TTO)-based topical therapeutic composition of claim 1 , comprising at least one step of admixing components a, b, and c until a homogeneous composition is obtained.
3. A method of treating dermatology conditions in mammals comprising applying the non-irritating tea tree oil (TTO)-based topical therapeutic composition of claim 1 to mammals in need thereof.
