Abstract: A material (14) such as an antiperspirant contained in a shear-sensitive, free-flowing, powdery, suspension of aqueous droplets stabilized by a barrier of very fine, hydrophobic metal oxide is dispensed from a roll-on applicator. As the ball (18) is rotated, an adherent film (22) of the suspension passes through the annular outlet (20) and is subjected to shear forces. The suspension coalesces into a film (24) of cream or lotion. The suspension exhibits excellent flowability through the outlet (20) without any binding or fouling and the lotion or cream film has good adhesion to the ball. Application results in a dry feeling on the skin of the subject, a short dry-out time and excellent antiperspirant efficacy.

Abstract: A water-in-air emulsion or suspension containing a dispensible material is formed by stabilization of small droplets of aqueous liquid with an interfacial barrier of very fine, hydrophobic metal oxide particles such as silane modified silica. As the droplets are subjected to shear such as during passage through an orifice, and/or rubbing on the surface of the target, the shear forces experienced at least partially destabilize the barrier allowing the droplets to coalsesce to form particles of controlled density and increased size and eventually can be totally destabilized into an elegant cream or lotion. At least 10% of the droplets may coalesce into particles after leaving the orifice. Active ingredients, such as antiperspirants may be added to either the aqueous liquid phase or to the powder phase as long as they do not destabilize the suspension.

Abstract: Flavored popcorn is produced by preparing a composition of popcorn kernels, a cooking oil medium and encapsulated flavoring substances which can be introduced into a cooking vessel.

Abstract: Packages are described wherein two compositions are maintained isolated from each other within a container, the first composition comprising an oxidation hair dye and the other comprising hydrogen peroxide. The container is fitted with valve means which communicate with each composition, actuation of the valve means resulting in mixing of portions of each composition and dispensing of the mixture as a hair dye. Through the addition of a reducing agent or a hydrogen peroxide decomposition catalyst to the first composition, the hair dye can be dispensed in a warmed state. A process for packaging of plural fluids to insure uniform dispensing in which one is a foamable liquid is described wherein the foamable liquid is placed within an inner compartment within a container separated from the remainder of the container by a movable wall and a pressurized fluid is placed inside the container outside the inner compartment.

Abstract: Packages are described wherein two compositions are maintained isolated from each other within a container, the first composition comprising a substance capable of releasing iodide ion and the second composition comprising hydrogen peroxide. The container is fitted with valve means which communicate with each composition. Actuation of the valve means results in mixing portions of each composition and dispensing of the mixture as a composition containing iodine.

Abstract: An essentially non-aqueous oral hygiene product is disclosed comprising an alcohol base, a combination of viscosity adjusters, e.g., polyvinylpyrrolidone and glycerin; a detergent such as sodium lauryl sulfate; a sweetening agent such as saccharin, and a flavor additive. The combination of viscosity adjusters imparts a suitable viscosity and body to the product to enable it to adhere to a toothbrush and be readily dispersible in water to be used as a mouthwash.
