Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
119 words
A cosmetic composition for hydrating the skin, comprising at least one naturally derived, purified glycoprotein substantially free of low molecular weight products and having been isolated from the gastric mucosa or duodenum of mammals by: (a) hydrolyzing said mucosa or duodenum in water at a temperature of 50° C. to 100° C. for 10 minutes to 45 minutes at a pH of 1 to 10; (b) removing acidic products of the hydrolysis; and (c) diluting the product of step (b) with a non-solvent for the glycoprotein to precipitate said glycoprotein, said composition containing also water and at least one hygrostatic excipient, said composition being characterized by its ability to remain on the skin for an extended period of time.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
119 words
A cosmetic composition for hydrating the skin, comprising at least one naturally derived, purified glycoprotein substantially free of low molecular weight products and having been isolated from the gastric mucosa or duodenum of mammals by: (a) hydrolyzing said mucosa or duodenum in water at a temperature of 50° C. to 100° C. for 10 minutes to 45 minutes at a pH of 1 to 10; (b) removing acidic products of the hydrolysis; and (c) diluting the product of step (b) with a non-solvent for the glycoprotein to precipitate said glycoprotein, said composition containing also water and at least one hygrostatic excipient, said composition being characterized by its ability to remain on the skin for an extended period of time.
