Abstract: The invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising (a) solid entrapping particles having an average particle size from 5 to 200 micrometers and comprising (i) a copolymer obtainable by copolymerization of monomers of ethylene with at least one class of co-monomers comprising at least one heteroatom, (ii) a plasticizer comprising at least one heteroatom, and (iii) a volatile material; and (b) a cosmetically acceptable carrier.

Abstract: An absorbent article comprising aglycone derivable from an iridoid glycoside and/or one or more derivative thereof have an improved body fluid retention properties.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to pasty compositions suitable for cleaning and/or deodorizing sanitary ware, wherein the compositions comprise a cationic surfactant.

Abstract: The present invention relates to adducts of an amino acid or of a peptide with a vitamin B3 compound. Such adducts, thanks to the amino acid chain, easily penetrate the skin and are able to efficiently deliver the vitamin B3 compound to when applied topically. Such adducts can be used both in medical applications to treat vitamin B3 deficiency and in cosmetic application to exploit the skin care benefits of vitamin B3.

Abstract: The invention relates to cationic compounds and triester compounds to be used for preparation of compositions, which preferably can be in the form of lotions, creams, powders, oils, foams and the like, and be applied to the skin to prevent or reduce or treat skin rash or diaper rash resulting from lypolytic dermatitis. The compositions of the invention can also be applied to diapers, incontinent-pads, wipes and the like. The invention also relates to the use of such a composition to prevent or reduce such a skin rash and a process for reducing the enzyme activity enzymes which are deactivated when the pH is reduced, such as lipase enzymes present on external skin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to activated carbon free absorbent articles comprising an improved odor control system. The odor control system comprises the combination of silica and zeolite.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an absorbent article comprising a topsheet, backsheet, an absorbent core and an odour control system. The odour control system comprises a zeolite and silica, wherein said zeolite and silica are in close physical proximity within said absorbent article.

Abstract: The laminated absorbent structure has absorbent gelling material (26) and a first odour absorber (24) each held between separate containing layers (2,4,6). The absorbent gelling material also separates a fluid-receiving surface from the first odour absorber. A second absorber may be a coating sprayed onto the layer (2) so that it is between the gelling material and the first surface. The first absorber is active when not wetted and the second odour absorber is active when wetted. The containing layers are fibrous layers and absorbent gelling material and the odour absorbers are in particle or powder form.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an absorbent article in particular sanitary napkins and panty liners, comprising a liquid permeable topsheet, a backsheet and an absorbent core intermediate the topsheet and backsheet. The absorbent article further comprises an improved odor control system comprising the combination of absorbent gelling material with silica.

Abstract: An absorbent article is disclosed for absorbing bodily fluids which has incorporated therein an odor control material for decreasing bodily odor which material comprises a zeolite having an average particle size (distribution by weight in sieve analysis) of at least 200 um. The zeolite may optionally be mixed with an absorbent gelling material and/or activated carbon.

Abstract: An absorbent article for absorbing bodily fluid, incorporating a buffer having a pH of from 7 to 10 acting as an efficient odor control material for preventing or combating malodorous compounds present in such articles in use.

Abstract: An absorbent article including an odour control material and in particular to an article for absorbing fluids, for example, bodily fluids, the said article having incorporated therein a buffer as odour control material, which buffer has a pH in the range of from pH 7 to 10.
