COMPOSITION, BARRIER FILM, AND METHOD FOR PREVENTING CONTACTDERMATITIS

摘要

The present invention relates to a composition, and a method for preventing or reducing contact dermatitis. The composition contains a polysaccharide; a low molecular weight, synergistic saccharide; a solvent; and optionally an additive material. The present invention is further a dermatologically-compatible barrier film for preventing and reduci ng contact dermatitis which contains a polysaccharide; a low molecular weight, synergistic saccharide; and optionally one or more additives. The dermatologically-compatible barrier film is formed of a composition containing a polysaccharide; a low molecular weight, synergist ic saccharide; a solvent; and optionally an additive material. The composition is a skin care product in a form of a lotion, a gel or a cre am that is applied to skin of mammals. Once applied, the solvent in the composition evaporates, and thereby leaves behind a dermatologically-compatible barrier film containing a polysaccharide; a low molecular weight, synergistic saccharide; and optionally an additive material.
