Patent Review
• US Patent No. 9,474,705 B2; ELC
Management LLC has patented a method
for whitening discrete hyperpigmented
spots on skin by applying a liquid pigmented treatment composition that has at
least one skin whitening active in a polymeric coating material comprising 1-35%
dimethicone silylate; from 1-50% of a
volatile solvent selected from the group
consisting of isododecane, dimethicone
and mixtures thereof; from 1-50% of a
non-volatile silicone oil having a viscosity
of 20 to 200,000 cst at room temperature;
from about 0.1 to 40% of a silicone surfactant; from about 0.1 to 15% of a quater-nized montmorillonite mineral; and from
0.5 to 65% titanium dioxide in combination with pigments that, upon exposure to
ambient air and moisture in skin, hardens
to a water resistant, water vapor permeable, conformable solid film that colors the
spots so they are shade matched with the
surrounding non-hyperpigmented skin
and remains unchanged for 24 hours after
application. It is designed to be applied to
the spots every 12 to 72 hours.
