Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassesA61K 007/44A61L 023/00 A23G 003/02 AbstractA melt spinnable carrier agent such as sugar is combined with a cosmetic then converted into fiber form by melt spinning with "cotton candy" fabricating equipment. The as-spun product is converted to compacted individual dosage units. Examples are presented for topical application. All applications utilize the extraordinarily rapid entry of the fiber form mass into solution upon contact with a solvent. When lactose is used it absorbs moisture from the air which is then either transferred to the hair or skin to maintain the moisture content of the latter or it prevents the hair or skin from drying out.Field of SearchDESIGNATED ORGANIC NONACTIVE INGREDIENT CONTAINING OTHER THAN HYDROCARBONCarbohydrate or lignin, or derivative Cellulose or derivative TOPICAL SUN OR RADIATION SCREENING, OR TANNING PREPARATIONS Aromatic acid or derivative containing (e.g., aminobenzoic acid or methyl salicylate, etc.) PREPARATIONS CHARACTERIZED BY SPECIAL PHYSICAL FORM Cosmetic, antiperspirant, dentifrice Tampon Candy, candy coated or chewing gum Web, sheet or filament bases; compositions of bandages; or dressings with incorporated medicaments Cotton candy maker Carbohydrate containing Confection Forming rod, strand, sheet, or filament | |
