Abstract: Topically administerable compositions are described which contain, in a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle, a combination of a drug whose dermal penetration can be enhanced and a combination of substances, which combination enhances and controls the penetration of the compositions through the skin. The combination contains an antifungal amount of an imidazole and a certain amount of either propylene glycol, specified fatty acid ester(s) or a mixture of propylene glycol and specified fatty acid ester(s).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for shaping a solid antiperspirant stick composition. The antiperspirant composition is produced in a generally cylindrical form having an oval or elliptical cross-section and the method and apparatus disclosed herein form the exposed end of the stick into a domed shape. A shaping mechanism comprises three shaped and heated cutting edges, each of which is arcuately oscillated with respect to the end of the stick within the plane of the major axis of the oval or ellipse. One pre-cut cutting edge is oscillated in one direction and makes a cut partially into one side of the exposed end of the stick. Rough cut and finish cut cutting edges are then arcuately passed through the end of the stick in the opposite direction.

Abstract: A system for displaying and selecting, a process for selecting, and a device for selecting hair dye shades, which allow the consumer to make a knowledgeable and informed hair dye selection. A horizontal or vertical axis along which hair dyes are arranged by similar colors and shades; another axis, perpendicular to the first axis, along which hair dyes are arranged by the length of duration of effect; a hair dye shade selector comprising color samples that each represent the haircolor that will result when hair of a particular color is treated with a particular hair dye are included; on-shelf consumer education and instruction materials regarding hair dye; display system indicators; and packaging indicators.

Abstract: A hair clip for heating and styling clasped hair, whether damp or dry, into a linear configuration in the scalp area of a user. The clip comprises a pair of biasable jaws including a pair of plates for storing heat and releasing such heat to style clasped hair held between the pair of plates. Supports extend laterally from the hair clip to permit it to freestand and heat and style the hair in a perpendicular fashion to the scalp, giving the remaining hair lift away from the scalp. The hair clips are heated by biasably gripping a heated plate positioned within a base structure of an electric heating unit. The heated hair clips are used in a method of styling dry or damp hair into a linear configuration generally perpendicular to the scalp.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of co-dispensing a hair dye composition under pressure wherein there is provided a first container containing a hair dye and propellant material and a second container disposed within the first container containing a hair dye developer material. The second container is provided with a flexible wall against which the propellant acts. A discharge passageway is defined via a nozzle structure and passage of the materials through the nozzle is controlled via a valve structure having first and second valves. The first valve permits control of the flow of material between a first orifice communicating with the first container, a second orifice communicating with the second container and the discharge passageway. The second valve permits control of the flow of material through the second orifice only.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical composition and process for administering NSAIDs with a combination of beta-adrenergic agonist and certain H.sub.1 -and H.sub.2 -receptor blockers which protect against injury to the gastrointestinal tract. Said composition being terbutaline, diphenhydramine and ranitidine.

Abstract: The treatment of proteinaceous or other substrates to render them more manageable and more stable against chemical treatment involves the use of aqueous compositions containing cationic (meth)acrylic copolymers.

Abstract: This invention relates to a multi-fluid mixing and automatic mettering dispenser for co-dispensing a pressurized permanent hair dye composition, having a first container containing a hair dye and propellant material, a second container disposed within the first container and containing a dye developer material, a nozzle structure defining a discharge passageway and a valve structure having first and second valves for controlling passage of the materials through the nozzle. The nozzle structure permits concurrent operation of the first and second valves to permit simultaneous flow of the materials form the first and second containers through the discharge passageway under the influence of the propellant, such that the materials exit from the dispenser at an overall flow rate not greater than about 1.8 gm/sec, and the flow ratio of the hair dye and propellant material exiting the first valve to the dye developer material exiting the second valve is in the range of about 1.9 to 2.5:1.
