Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021204568A1] The invention relates to a composition for topical administration, comprising two phases, a hydrophilic phase which contains at least one type of granules or particles, in addition to a lipophilic phase. The particles suspended within the hydrophilic vehicle are lipophilic, and therefore will not dissolve when stored within the hydrophilic phase. In this way, non-polar particles suspended in the hydrophilic phase provide a granular, or lightly abrasive texture. The hydrophilic phase containing a lipophilic particle, and the lipophilic phase will mix when the composition containing the two phases is applied topically, for example by rubbing into the skin. This serves the dual purpose of delivering a pleasant sensation of scratching an itch, while at the same time performing a manual mixing process allowing medicaments contained in the granules to be absorbed into skin.
