Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a skin protectant formulation that is designed to be sprayed onto human skin for the purpose of protecting the skin. In particular, an exemplary formulation of the present disclosure contains at least a carrier, a structurant and a skin protectant agent. An exemplary formulation contains a carrier comprising at least water, a structurant comprising at least a laponite clay, and a skin protectant agent comprising petrolatum. Typically, the skin protectant formulation will comprise at least about 30 wt. % of a skin protectant agent. A continuous spray dispenser may be used to apply the skin protectant formulation to reduce the need for rubbing as the treated area can be covered by a mist of the skin protectant formulation requiring no need to rub for application or small droplets that do not require extensive time for rubbing in.

Abstract: A self gassing composition comprising at least one surfactant and a fermentation base including a gas producing organism and at least one sugar is disclosed. Use of a nonionic surfactant in the self gassing composition allows the fermentation base to continue reacting and producing gas. Additionally, a personal care cleansing product and method for storing and delivering an aqueous composition having at least one surfactant and pressurized gas dissolved therein is disclosed. In one aspect, the composition is stored in an internal reservoir in a container such that when a sealing device is removed from a valveless opening, the composition foams and plumes out the opening of the container as the gas dissolved in the composition is released. In addition to the self gassing composition, a pressurized gas may be injected into a surfactant composition to produce the gas pressurized cleaning composition.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a cleanser including a balance of components for providing consumers with an enhanced exfoliation experience that smoothes skin immediately and sustains the smooth feeling for an extended period of time. Additionally, the cleanser provides a simultaneous cleansing and warming effect to the consumer's skin. Particularly, in one embodiment, the cleanser includes a combination of a water soluble carrier, a warming agent, a water soluble silicone surfactant, and an exfoliant.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to alcohol antimicrobial skin sanitizing compositions for use in hand washing and skin sanitizing. The antimicrobial skin sanitizing composition comprises an alcohol for providing effective antimicrobial control, one or more cationic compounds for moisturizing and protecting the skin, and a compatible thickening system for thickening the antimicrobial skin sanitizing composition. The antimicrobial skin sanitizing compositions can be used alone or in combination with personal care products.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to sunscreen compositions that are suitable for topical application to human skin and hair. More particularly, the disclosure relates to sprayable sunscreen compositions having improved water resistance and a low overall percentage of sunscreen actives. To achieve the improved water resistance, a dimethicone derivative is incorporated into the sunscreen compositions.

Abstract: A cleansing product suitable for making the cleaning of both inanimate and animate surfaces more fun and effective for children is disclosed. Specifically, the cleansing product is capable of expanding in volume under certain temperature conditions, and in some embodiments, can additionally include a coloring agent, providing a color change to indicate when sufficient cleansing has been performed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to water swellable, water insoluble superabsorbent materials having controlled variable gel-bed friction angles. Controlling the gel-bed friction angle of the superabsorbent materials may allow control of the swelling of the material, the absorbency of the material, and/or the absorbency, resiliency, and porosity of the absorbent composite containing the superabsorbent material. The present invention relates to treatments for superabsorbent materials to manipulate friction angle and new superabsorbent materials having the desired friction angle characteristics. The present invention also relates to absorbent composites employing superabsorbent materials having the desired friction angle characteristics.

Abstract: The present invention relates to water swellable, water insoluble superabsorbent materials having controlled cohesions and controlled variable gel-bed friction angles.
