20110046532 | COMPOSITION INCLUDING A SILICONE-BASED POLYMER AND A METHOD OF TREATING SKIN DISORDERS USING THE COMPOSITION - A composition is formed by the step of feeding a molecule that has an active oxygen-forming species into a silicone based polymer. The silicone-based polymer is substantially free of pendant groups that are reactive with active oxygen species. Silicone-based polymers have proven scar-healing properties. As such, the composition is useful for treating skin disorders, especially scars, to reduce the appearance of the scars. Furthermore, bacteria and infections may contribute to the formation of scars. The active oxygen-forming species form active oxygen species, which oxidize pathogens including bacteria, viruses, and fungus to sterilize an area in contact with the composition. As a result, the appearance of scars treated with the composition may be even further reduced due to the presence of the molecule having the active oxygen-forming species. | 02-24-2011 |
