Topical gels and methods of using the same
First Claim
1. A topical composition comprising nitric oxide-releasing polysiloxane macromolecules and a hydrophobic, non-aqueous gel base, the hydrophobic, non-aqueous gel base comprising mineral oil, wherein the nitric oxide (NO) storage per gram is in a range of 100 nmol NO/g to 1 mmol NO/g of the topical composition and at least 70% of NO of the nitric oxide-releasing polysiloxane macromolecule remains in the topical composition two days after initial formulation when the topical composition is stored at room temperature.
