摘要:
A method of forming a skincare composition comprising a sapropel extract, the method comprising the steps of: providing raw sapropel; placing the raw sapropel in an alkali solution; filtering the resultant solution to provide a solid and a filtrate of sapropel extract; and placing the filtrate of sapropel extract in a skincare composition. Preferably, the method further comprises the step of concentrating the filtrate of sapropel extract by removing 70-90% of water from the filtrate prior to placing it into the skincare composition. Preferably, the step of placing the raw sapropel in an alkali solution comprises placing the raw sapropel in a solution having a pH from greater than 9 to less than 11. The alkali solution may comprise a solution of water and potassium hydroxide; and/or ammonium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate and/or sodium hydroxide. The skincare composition may be a moisturising cream, an emollient, a body butter, a balm, a shampoo, a hair conditioner, a pre-shampoo treatment, a hair lotion, a hair tonic, a shower gel or a liquid soap. Preferably, the skincare composition is useful in therapy in the treatment of one or more of eczema, dermatitis, acne, psoriasis, athletes foot and/or allergies.
