Patent number: 8529970Abstract: Materials with high levels of unsaponifiable matter, such as extracts from plants, produce hydrolysates with unique properties. Properties that are sought in traditional saponification of natural oils are a result of low levels of unsaponifiables.

Patent number: 8466335Abstract: A personal care product that includes a personal care composition disposed in a collapsible bag at least partially surrounded by an elastically deformable member and, optionally, an outer container body. The elastic member is constructed of an elastically extensible material that permits the transfer of infrared radiation through at least a portion of the elastic member. Potential energy is generated by stretching the elastically deformable member, which is used to dispense the composition in lieu of a propellant or pump. The container may also include a actuatable valve for dispensing the composition.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2010Date of Patent: June 18, 2013Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Thomas James Klofta, Gary Dean Lavon, Thomas Edward Schulte

Publication number: 20130142751Abstract: A colored, sodium bicarbonate-based, composition that is, for example, a fabric freshener and deodorizer that can be colored with non-toxic ingredients is provided. A colored baking soda composition may be used to suppress malodor, for freshening fabrics comprising sodium bicarbonate, a coloring agent and a method of use thereof comprising applying the composition uniformly to the fabric and thereafter blending into fabric to remove unwanted odor. The colored baking soda is produced by mixing same together then, in one step, the mixture of the two components undergoes simultaneous mixing-refining until the desired color is obtained. The quantities of colors will vary, the amount of coloring matter used depends upon the depth of shade it is desired to produce, colors can be toned with additional baking soda. A baking soda-based product used to remove malodor, that can be colored with non-toxic ingredients is provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2011Publication date: June 6, 2013Inventor: Patrice Pettigrew
