Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to improved cosmetic compositions. It has been found that cosmetic compositions can be improved by adding to the formula a non-saponifiable fraction of an animal or vegetable oil. An animal or vegetable oil may also be present in the cosmetic composition, in which case it is preferably present in an amount below the conventional quantity and the non-saponifiable fraction is present in an amount at least equal to the amount of non-saponifiable material which would be extracted from the omitted portion of the animal or vegetable oil.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
94 words
A topically appliable cosmetic composition, in the form of a protective cream for dry skins, for creating an increase in the moisture content of human skin consisting essentially of a cosmetic composition containing the non-saponifiable fraction extracted from soya-bean oil and avocado oil, with the weight ratio of said soya-bean oil non-saponifiable fraction to said avocado oil non-saponifiable fraction being about 2 to 1, and said non-saponifiable fraction being from about 0.2% to 3% by weight based upon the total composition weight, and the balance of said composition being hexyl laurate and avocado oil.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
94 words
A topically appliable cosmetic composition, in the form of a protective cream for dry skins, for creating an increase in the moisture content of human skin consisting essentially of a cosmetic composition containing the non-saponifiable fraction extracted from soya-bean oil and avocado oil, with the weight ratio of said soya-bean oil non-saponifiable fraction to said avocado oil non-saponifiable fraction being about 2 to 1, and said non-saponifiable fraction being from about 0.2% to 3% by weight based upon the total composition weight, and the balance of said composition being hexyl laurate and avocado oil.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
114 words
A method for creating an increase in the moisture content of human skin consisting essentially of topically applying to said skin, in the form of a protective cream of dry skins, an effective amount of a topically appliable cosmetic composition consisting essentially of a cosmetic composition containing the non-saponifiable fraction extracted from soya-bean oil and avocado oil, with the weight ratio of said soya-bean oil non-saponifiable fraction to said avocado oil non-saponifiable fraction being about 2 to 1, and said non-saponifiable fraction being from about 0.2% to 3% by weight based upon the total composition weight, and the balance of said composition being a cosmetic carrier suitable for topical application to said human skin.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
114 words
A method for creating an increase in the moisture content of human skin consisting essentially of topically applying to said skin, in the form of a protective cream of dry skins, an effective amount of a topically appliable cosmetic composition consisting essentially of a cosmetic composition containing the non-saponifiable fraction extracted from soya-bean oil and avocado oil, with the weight ratio of said soya-bean oil non-saponifiable fraction to said avocado oil non-saponifiable fraction being about 2 to 1, and said non-saponifiable fraction being from about 0.2% to 3% by weight based upon the total composition weight, and the balance of said composition being a cosmetic carrier suitable for topical application to said human skin.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
108 words
A method for creating an increase in the moisture content of human skin consisting essentially of topically applying to said skin, in the form of a protective cream for dry skins, an effective amount of a topically appliable cosmetic composition consisting essentially of a cosmetic composition containing the non-saponifiable fraction extracted from an oil selected from the group consisting of horse mane oil, sweet almond oil, carob bean oil and cod-liver oil, and said non-saponifiable fraction being from about 0.2% to 3% by weight based upon the total composition weight, and the balance of said composition being a cosmetic carrier suitable for topical application to said human skin.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
108 words
A method for creating an increase in the moisture content of human skin consisting essentially of topically applying to said skin, in the form of a protective cream for dry skins, an effective amount of a topically appliable cosmetic composition consisting essentially of a cosmetic composition containing the non-saponifiable fraction extracted from an oil selected from the group consisting of horse mane oil, sweet almond oil, carob bean oil and cod-liver oil, and said non-saponifiable fraction being from about 0.2% to 3% by weight based upon the total composition weight, and the balance of said composition being a cosmetic carrier suitable for topical application to said human skin.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
15 words
The method of claim 3, wherein said non-saponifiable fraction is extracted from horse mane oil.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
15 words
The method of claim 3, wherein said non-saponifiable fraction is extracted from sweet almond oil.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
15 words
The method of claim 3, wherein said non-saponifiable fraction is extracted from carob bean oil.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
14 words
The method of claim 3, wherein said non-saponifiable fraction is extracted from cod-liver oil.
