Abstract

An eyelid scrub composition comprising polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB), 1,2-hexanediol, 1,2-octanediol, and a pH stabilizing surfactant solution present in an amount effective to control the pH level of the composition between 5.5 and 7.5. The composition can further comprise moisturizers and foam stabilizers. The composition can be combined with a fabric pad for use as an eyelid scrub, where the fabric pad is pre-moistened with the composition and packaged for use. The composition may be applied to the eyelid scrub and rubbed to induce foaming. The composition is produced by preparing a modified Ringer's solution and adding 1,2-hexanediol, 1,2-octanediol, and an effective amount of one or more pH stabilizing surfactants. The mixture is then heated and allowed to cool before polyhexamethylene biguanide is added.

Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to an antibacterial composition. The invention also relates to a composition that can be used as an eyelid scrub. Background technique

[0002] The eyelids are important to the health of the entire eye because they protect the eyes from dangerous objects such as close objects, or airborne pollutants such as pollen and dust particles, or other foreign objects. The eyelids contain several types of glands, including lacrimal glands and meibomian glands, among which the lacrimal glands and meibomian glands produce the tear film layer that is essential for eye health. When a person blinks, a new tear film is produced, and the tears are distributed throughout the cornea to wet the surface of the eye. This blinking action also "rushes" foreign matter away from the eyes.

[0003] However, the eyelids also suffer from certain problems. Although these problems are common, they are somewhat annoying, especially for contact lens wearers, and may l...

Embodiment Construction

[0014] The composition of the present invention can be effectively used as an eyelid cleanser or scrub because it has an antibacterial effect, but it is actually still not irritating to the eyes. The composition has these beneficial properties due to the combination of polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) and Symdiol. Symdiol is a combination of 1,2-hexanediol and 1,2-octanediol. The PHMB-Symdiol combination has a synergistic antibacterial effect. In addition, the composition of the present invention avoids traditional pH regulators by using pH stabilizing surfactant solutions. Compared with conventional eyelid cleansers, the removal of traditional pH adjusters reduces the degree of irritation caused by the composition.

[0015] The eyelid scrub composition of the present invention contains polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB), 1,2-hexanediol, 1,2-octanediol and is present in an effective amount to control the pH level of the composition at 5.5 to A pH between 7.5 stabilizes the surfa...
