Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention is generally directed to novel compositions and methods for treatment of dermatologic conditions. More particularly, a composition comprising Terpene and cannabidiol (CBD) or derivatives thereof for treating inflammatory skin disorders. Further, the composition relates to cosmetic compositions for the protection and treatment of the skin.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]It is known that skin diseases in human are very common. There are several factors such as atmospheric conditions in winter, repeated contact with detergent when washing crockery and carrying out domestic chores, the sun's rays, contact with various chemicals can result in dryness of the skin, blotchiness and even in more severe damage. Further, there are many inflammatory skin diseases caused due to genetic disorder and pathogens.[0003]Inflammatory skin diseases are a group of diseases that results in inflammation of the skin.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0010]Provided herein are formulations and compositions for a topical pain cream to be used as needed for treatment of inflammatory skin disorders and conditions. In one embodiment, the composition is used directly on or under the skin. In one embodiment, the composition is used but not limited to itching, swelling or painful joints. In one embodiment, the composition may also be used on any areas of dryness or scaling, as certain components may enhance moisture retention. In one embodiment, the composition may work well on sunburns and burns of thermal (non-chemical). In one embodiment, the composition is non-toxic in nature and used in cosmetics medical, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications.

[0011]The composition of the Terpenes and cannabinoids derivatives have very effective roles in anti-inflammatory skin diseases. Preferably, the composition contain a humectant. In one embodiment, the humectant includes esters of terpene alcohols with 2-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic acid, which are physiologically active substances capable of passing through the stratum corneum into the living layers of the epidermis and provides an anti-inflammatory effect. The humectant to stabilizes the cream to open air and to allow cream applied to the skin of a subject to be protected from evaporation.

[0013]In one embodiment, the composition include 2-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic acid as the sole humectant, which has been shown to release GABA from the cerebral cortex and displays anti-anxiety effects in some studies. 2-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic acid is understood to relax a localized region of the body when applied topically, and to reduce inflammation when combined with plant terpenes.

[0019]The Versapro cream base is a white, smooth and shiny versatile cream with increased pH stability. Versapro cream base is highly moisturizing and odorless act as an emulsifier for oil-in-water. It can be appreciated that analogues to Versapro cream can be substituted in accordance with the present invention.

Problems solved by technology

There are several factors such as atmospheric conditions in winter, repeated contact with detergent when washing crockery and carrying out domestic chores, the sun's rays, contact with various chemicals can result in dryness of the skin, blotchiness and even in more severe damage.

Psoriasis is also associated with an increased risk of certain cancers, cardiovascular disease, and other immune-mediated disorders such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

Further, terpenes have important roles in cannabinoid-comprising products, affecting the functionality and bioavailability of the cannabinoids and the aroma of the product.

Processing cannabis plant material typically leads to terpenes loss so that most of cannabis products are of relatively low terpene content.
