COMPOSITION, BARRIER FILM, AND METHOD FOR PREVENTING CONTACT DERMATITIS

摘要

The present invention relates to a composition, and a method for preventing orreducing contact dermatitis. The composition containsa polysaccharide; a low molecular weight, synergistic saccharide; a solvent;and optionally an additive material. The present invention isfurther a dermatologically-compatible barrier film for preventing and reducingcontact dermatitis which contains a polysaccharide; a lowmolecular weight, synergistic saccharide; and optionally one or moreadditives. The dermatologically-compatible barrier film is formed ofa composition containing a polysaccharide; a low molecular weight, synergisticsaccharide; a solvent; and optionally an additive material.The composition is a skin care product in a form of a lotion, a gel or a creamthat is applied to skin of mammals. Once applied, thesolvent in the composition evaporates, and thereby leaves behind adermatologically-compatible barrier film containing a polysaccharide; alow molecular weight, synergistic saccharide; and optionally an additivematerial.
