Abstract

A processed product for hair and skin treatment, having binary and tertiary fluid phase levels prior to remixing and therapeutic use is disclosed. The invention discloses defined amounts of admixed components including an Iodine complex having tincture of iodine solution and povidone-iodine compound, a diluting fluid complex having a water and mineral oil constituent, and a cod liver oil component, which, after admixing, are ambiently exposed to a photon-light-energy component from sunlight or substantially equivalent artificial light to produce a processed product having at least binary product reaction fluid levels and containing a nucleophically iodinated cod liver oil compound. The composition is mixed prior to therapeutic application of targeted hair, skin, mucosal or internal areas of a human or animal, mixing the fluid levels to provide synergistic properties and enhanced delivery of the remaining iodine-reaction components and the iodinated cod liver oil compound contained in the product, enhancing the effect and delivery to targeted areas of vitamins A and D and other constituents in the processed reaction product.
