Abstract: Solid cosmetic stick-type depilatory compositions consisting essentially of sodium stearate, propylene glycol, water, sodium hydroxide solution and thioglycolic acid salts as the essential active depilating agent are disclosed.

Abstract: A male contraceptive hood which is adhesively secured to the penis, the hood being initially rolled up and the interior of the hood being free of adhesive until it is unrolled. The hood has a thin sheath which serves as the contraceptive device and an outer cylindrical member which is initially rolled together with the thin sheath. The outer cylindrical member has an adhesive on a portion of its outer surface, separated from the outer surface by a release agent, the adhesive being transferred to the inner surface of the sheath as the hood is unrolled onto a penis. The outer member can then be removed leaving only the thin inner sheath on the penis. A projecting portion is provided on the outer member for grasping the outer member to remove it.In a preferred form, a lubricant is disposed between the sheath and the inner surface of the outer cylindrical member. This lubricant remains on the outer surface of the sheath to facilitate removal of the outer member and also to aid in intercourse.

Abstract: A batch process and continuous/semicontinuous processes for the manufacture of uniform, clear, microcrystalline emulsion compositions of gel-like consistency are disclosed.

Abstract: Stable aqueous peroxide dentifrice gel compositions which are stable against both viscosity and peroxide loss and which contain up to about 15% by weight of aqueous peroxide, and from about 35% to about 95% by weight of a polyol or a mixture of polyols, from about 0.75% to about 5.0% by weight of a gelling agent and from about 0.05% to about 1.0% by weight of stabilizers are disclosed.

Abstract: A novel method for preparing 2-phenyl-1, 3-propanediol and its dicarbamate is disclosed which readily lends itself to commercial production.

Abstract: Clear, water-proof sunscreen compositions, including a film-forming resin, a solvent, an ultra-violet sunscreening agent and emollients are disclosed. The compositions when spread on the skin leave an elegant non-greasy, non-tacky film with a superior resistance to removal by water and which provide prolonged high level protection for human skin to ultraviolet radiation.

Abstract: A method and composition for the elimination of fleas and ticks as well as the prevention and/or control of flea and tick infestation of animals, particularly household pets, which comprises applying a substantive, controlled release, coating of a solution of a polymeric material and an insecticide to the shafts of hair of the animal's coat.

Abstract: A solid personal care product is packaged in a container having a cover and handle, with the personal care product being attached to a gripping plate on the cover for removal from the container with the cover. The gripping plate preferably includes a porous member which is impregnated with a portion of the solid product to firmly grip the solid product for removal with the cover.

Abstract: Uniform, clear gelled antiperspirant compositions, free of waxes and conventional gelling agents are disclosed. The gel emulsions comprise in combination a volatile silicone fluid, a silicone emulsifier, a destabilizing auxillary emulsifier, water, a non-volatile emollient, a coupling agent, an active antiperspirant component and ancillary agents.

Abstract: A solid stick composition, in a container, is moved through a protective tunnel wherein the stick is cooled to effect solidification, remelted to fill any void in the stick, cooled to solidify, and polished, by heating and cooling, with filtered air flowing through the tunnel to remove heat therefrom.

Abstract: A novel, efficient, economical procedure for the synthesis of ethers of n-propanoldiamine having the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is a straight or branched chain lower alkyl group or an aralkyl group, Ar is an aromatic group, Ar.sup.1 is an aromatic or heterocyclic group, A is a tertiary aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or heterocyclic amino group and addition salts thereof with pharmacologically acceptable acids.

Abstract: There is disclosed a packaging assembly for inserting a plurality of small diameter tubes into a packaging container wherein the assembly is comprised of a container rotor, a tube supply rotor and an injection rotor mounted in keyed relationship on a shaft driven by a motor and wherein the container rotor includes a channel for receiving the packaging container, the supply rotor includes a channel for receiving a preselect quantity of the small diameter tubes and wherein the injection rotor includes a channel for receiving in reciprocating relationship a plurality of rod member and wherein said channels of the rotors are in co-axial alignment with one another whereby a reciprocating movement of the rod member inserts the plurality of small diameter tubes into the packaging container.
