Abstract:
Disclosed is a solid cosmetic composition (e.g., a cream composition) containing an active cosmetic material (e.g., a deodorant active, an antiperspirant active, a sunscreen, an insect repellent and/or an anti-fungal agent) and a silicone gel material. The silicone gel material includes (a) a volatile silicone material and (b) an organopolysiloxane material as a gelling agent, able to form a gel after being mixed with the volatile silicone material. The organopolysiloxane material can be a reaction product of a vinyl-terminated siloxane polymer and a hydride cross-linking agent. The composition can be formed by mixing the active cosmetic material and silicone gel material at ambient temperature. The compositions do not need particulate or clay thickeners or waxy gelling agents.
Abstract:
An invention is disclosed which comprises gelling agents which (1) contain both siloxane groups and hydrogen-bonding groups to thicken compositions containing silicone fluids (volatile and/or non-volatile silicone fluids); (2) are non-flowable solids at room temperature; and (3) dissolve in a fluid which contains silicone at a temperature of 25-250 DEG C to form a translucent or clear solu tion at a temperature in this range. Cosmetic compositions may be made by adding at least one active ingredient such as an antiperspirant.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A package for a solid stick product, including barrel (10) for containing the stick product and, provided within the barrel, a product support member (16) for supporting the stick product thereon. The product support member (16) is movable in the longitudinal direction of the barrel for raising and lowering the stick product. The barrel has a longitudinally extending slot (34) through a wall thereof. An adjustment button (28) is provided on the outside of the barrel and is movable in the longitudinal direction of the barrel generally over the slot area. A tab (30) extends through the slot (34) and connects the adjustment button (28) to the product support member (16), whereby movement of the adjustment button outside the barrel brings about equivalent translational movement of the product support member and, therefore, the stick product within the barrel. Thus, by raising or lowering the adjustment button (28) outside the barrel, the user can raise or lower the stick product to extract the product from or retract the product within the barrel. The package includes a locking mechanism (36) for locking the product support member and preventing movement of the product support member in the longitudinal direction.
Abstract:
A SnF2 gel composition exhibiting improved stand-up and stability to exposure to air containing moisture which composition contains SnF2, anhydrous glycerin, a polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight of 1000 and xanthan gum.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a filled package comprising a tinted or untinted transparent container and a tinted liquid cleaning composition contained in the container.
Abstract:
The plastic bristle (5) proposed consists of a core (6) of parallel plastic filaments (7) connected to each other, plus a plastic sheath (8) surrounding the core (6). At the brushing end (5a) of each bristle (5), the filaments (7) protrude out of the sheath (8). This is achieved by dressing the bristles (5) at the brushing end (5a), the length of the sheath (8) being reduced at the same time by this mechanically operation.
Abstract:
An aqueous abrasive whitening composition containing a peroxide whitening compound which is chemically and physically stable and exhibits heightened and rapid whitening of teeth and stain removal which comprises a combination of water, abrasive and peroxide compounds, a humectant containing a polyethylene glycol, a polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene block copolymer, a metal ion complexing agent and an antioxidant, the pH of the composition being in the range of about 5.8 to about 7.2.
Abstract:
A personal cleansing composition comprising: a) at least about one wt.% of soap, and b) a sufficient amount of a compound to provide at least about 0.03 wt.% of a free fatty carboxylic acid, said compound of formula (1), wherein R is hydrogen or CH2COOH, Ra is hydrogen or carboxyl, and Rb is hydrogen or methyl provided that when R is hydrogen, then Ra is carboxyl and when R is CH2COOH then Ra is hydrogen.
Abstract:
The present invention provides for concentrated, structured liquid detergent compositions in the form of lamellar surfactant droplets dispersed in an aqueous electrolytic continuous phase comprising a mixture of: a) from about 10 to 45 % by weight of surfactant; b) at least one detergent builder; c) from about 0.01 to about 5 % by weight of a deflocculating polymer composition containing polymer chains of the structure P-QR, wherein P represents a polymer chain segment of a hydrophilic polymer, and QR represents a hydrophobic end-cap group wherein R is an organic hydrophobic radical containing from about 4 to 28 carbon atoms, and Q is selected from the group consisting of O, S, SO, SO2, Si OR'R'', Si R'R'', CR'OH, CR'R'' and CR'OR'' wherein R' and R'' are each hydrogen, an alkyl group containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms or an aryl group; and d) water. The presence of the deflocculating polymer in the composition both stabilizes the detergent composition and retards the propensity of the lamellar droplets dispersed in the aueous phase to flocculate, particularly where the droplets occupy a higher volume ratio as the result of high concentrations of surfactant present in the detergent. The invention also provides, when necessary, for the addition of a polymeric stabilizing agent to the liquid detergent composition comprised of a high molecular weight cross-linked polyacrylic acid compound for the purpose of maintaining the viscosity of the liquid detergent composition substantially constant when stored at room temperature for a period of at least four weeks.
