Abstract: The present invention relates to novel chromophore-containing compounds useful as sunscreen agents which have the ability to absorb both UVA and UVB wavelength radiation. These compounds comprise a specific type of UVA-absorbing chromophore covalently bonded to a specific type of UVB-absorbing chromophore. The chromophore moieties are covalently bonded together such that the electron systems of these moieties are directly coupled to thereby form a new chromophore.The present invention further relates to sunscreen compositions containing the hereinbefore described type of sunscreen agents. Furthermore, the present invention relates to methods for protecting the skin or humans or lower animals from the effects of UVA and UVB wavelength radiation. This method comprises topically applying to the skin an effective coating of a sunscreen composition of the present invention.

Abstract: Disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions comprising sorbohydroxamic acid, or pharmaceutically-acceptable salts thereof, which are useful for topical application to prevent damage to skin caused by acute or chronic UV exposure. Combinations of sorbohydroxamic acid together with tocopherol sorbate and/or sunscreens are also disclosed.Also disclosed is a method for using these compositions topically, prior to UV exposure, to prevent damage to skin caused by acute or chronic UV exposure.

Abstract: Polar solvent-free antiperspirant compositions comprising particulate cellulose ether polymers, preferably hydroxyethyl-cellulose. These antiperspirant compositions produce less stinging and burning than compositions not containing particulate cellulose ether polymers when applied to underarm skin following shaving.

Abstract: Disclosed are conditioning agents and compositions containing such conditioning agent, said conditioning agent being particles from about 5% to about 95%, by weight of said particles, of an amine-organic anion ion-pair complex and from about 95% to about 5%, by weight of said particles, of an amine-inorganic anion ion-pair complex. The particles have an average diameter of from 10 microns to about 500 microns. These conditioning agents can provide excellent fabric care benefits when applied as part of, or in the presence of, detergent compositions without significantly impairing cleaning performance.

Abstract: Disclosed are liquid detergent compositions containing from about 5% to about 40% of an alkyl sulfate or alkyl ethoxylated sulfate surfactant, or mixture thereof, and water-insoluble, amine-organic anion ion-pair conditioning particles in a liquid base. The alkyl sulfate, alkyl ethoxylated sulfate, or mixture thereof, stabilizes the conditioning particles for improved shelf-life.

Abstract: Antiperspirant cream compositions, comprising:(a) from about 5% to about 60% of a volatile silicone oil(b) from about 0.1% to about 60% of a non-volatile emollient having a viscosity of at least about 10 cs at 25.degree. C.;(c) from about 2% to about 10% of a particulate thickening material; and(d) from about 15% to about 45% of a particulate antiperspirant active material; and(e) from about 0.1% to about 10% of a particulate cellulose ether polymer,wherein the compositions have penetration force values of from about 150 grams to about 800 grams at 25.degree.
