Abstract: This invention relates to an anhydrous delivery vehicle for applying cosmetic or functional active ingredients to human skin. The anhydrous delivery vehicle contains 5 to 30 weight percent of a high-melting wax, 5 to 30 weight percent of an acetylated monoglyceride, 5 to 60 weight percent of petrolatum, 0.1 to 30 weight percent of a fatty alcohol having 8 to 22 carbon atoms, and a cosmetic or functional active material.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an ozone-friendly correction fluid which dries quickly and bonds to paper surfaces for correcting all types of markings. The ozone-friendly correction fluid does not contain halogenated solvents or hydrocarbon solvents. More specifically, the correction fluid contains an acrylic resin having a weight average molecular weight (Mw) less than 40,000, acetone, and an opacifying pigment. The ozone-friendly correction fluid of the present invention may contain up to 80% solids and may be applied for correcting typewritten, handwritten, photocopied or laser-jet printed markings formed from waterborne or solventborne inks.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a high solids content waterborne correction fluid that dries quickly and bonds to paper surfaces for correcting laser-jet printed and photocopied markings. More specifically, the waterborne correction fluid contains a water-dispersible sulfopolyester, an opacifying pigment, and water.

Abstract: This invention relates to a cosmetic film forming composition which is especially useful as a nail coating composition which upon drying forms a film which will adhere to keratin of a nail. More particularly, the present invention relates to cosmetic film forming compositions which consist of aqueous emulsion (A) which comprises a sulfopolyester and a copolymer of vinyl acetate and dialkyl maleate, and aqueous emulsion (B) which comprises an aqueous emulsion of acetoacetoxyethyl alkylacrylate or the reaction product of acetoacetoxyethyl alkylacrylate with a vinylfunctional monomer. These cosmetic film forming compositions are fast drying, have good adhesive properties and are environmentally compatible.

Abstract: This invention relates to aerosol hair spray formulations based on (1) a sulfonate-containing, water-dispersible or water-dissipatible, linear polyester having a glass transition temperature of about 36.degree. C. to about 40.degree. C. and (2) a water-soluble, polyvinyl lactam polymer. In addition, the formulations contain water as the liquid vehicle and a propellant. Such aerosol hair spray formulations do not contain any volatile organic compounds other than propellant yet exhibit fast drying times and excellent performance characteristics.

Abstract: Antistatic and fabric softener compositions for application to textile fabrics comprises a combination of an N,N-dialkyl-N,N-di-lower-alkyl quaternary ammonium salt either alone or in combination with an N-long-chain alkylamido-lower-alkyl-N,N-di-lower-alkyl-N-R.sub.4 '-quaternary ammonium salt and critical amounts of a lactic acid salt and the method of use of such compositions for treating textile fabrics.
