EMOLLIENT EMULSION

Abstract

A process of making a composition of matter with emollient properties. The composition takes the physical form of an oil base homogenized into water, making it suitable for dispensation in large quantities with a spray bottle or a continuous flow. Preparation begins with refinement of MCT coconut oil to remove lauric acid. The coconut oil is mixed with arnica oil, castor oil, and CBD oil to form the oil base. Ideal proportions for the oil base are approximately 1:4:1:4 arnica:castor:CBD:coconut. The oil base is then heated and homogenized into alkaline water by blending. Ideal parameters are approximately 11.5 pH water, a ratio of approximately 7:93 oil:water, and ten minutes of blending. Suitable variations on the ideal parameters are disclosed below.

22. The method of claim 21, wherein the percentages by weight of the oil base are more specifically: 29% to 51% for the secondary carrier oil mixture; 7.6% to 12.7% for the CBD oil; and 6.1% to 10.2% for the arnica oil.

Description

6. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0019] The proper preparation of this product requires medium-chain triglycerides (MCT). Coconut oil has the advantage of being a fat heavy in MCT. Coconut oil is composed of the fatty acids caprylic acid, capric acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, and 2-linoleic acid. To achieve the purposes of the present invention, my experimentation has shown that the coconut oil must be refined to remove the lauric acid. Using coconut oil without lauric acid is the first key step in preparing the invention.

[0020] Next, the active ingredients must be mixed into the refined coconut oil. The optimal proportion of ingredients is approximately 40% refined coconut oil as described in the previous paragraph, 30-40% castor oil, 10% CBD oil, up to 8% arnica oil, up to 6% sulfur, and a trace amount, roughly 0.01%, of lavender oil or another essential oil. For best results, the CBD oil should be at least 82% strength, and it should be properly processed and certified analyzed before being used as an ingredient. All oil ingredients are heated and stirred for thorough mixing. This mixture is called the “oil base”. Castor oil is composed of the fatty acids ricinoleic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, stearic acid, palmitic acid, dihydroxystearic acid, and eicosanoic acid.

[0021] The next step in preparation is emulsion in highly alkaline ionized water. A pH of at least 11.5 works best. The oil base and the alkaline water are combined ideally in the ratio of about 93% alkaline water and 7% oil base. This will result in a final product that is approximately 93% alkaline water, 2.8% coconut oil, 2.1-2.8% castor oil, 0.7% CBD oil, up to 0.56% arnica oil, up to 0.42% sulfur, and roughly 0.000 7% essential oil. Embodiments of the invention with these approximate proportions and acceptable margins of error are described and claimed below. We describe “low sulfur” and “high sulfur” versions. A lower sulfur content is more appropriate for animal treatment, and a higher sulfur content is a more suitable adaptation for human treatment.

[0022] Finally, the mixture is blended for ten minutes to ensure full homogenization. Alkaline water promotes the breakdown of fatty acids much more effectively than neutral water. The product will appear milky white when it is properly mixed.

[0023] A method of making the product, comprising the steps of forming the oil base and then homogenizing it into the alkaline water, are described and claimed below.
