Abstract: A wafer alkaline cell of a laminar structure is disclosed. The cell has a pair of opposing sides comprising at least the majority of the boundary surface of said cell and defining a short cell dimension therebetween. The cell comprises an anode assembly and a cathode assembly bonded together to form a laminate structure. The cell comprises preferably two separate plastic frames housing the anode and cathode material. The anode current collector may be precoated with a sealing metal forming an alkaline resistant metal oxide film to improve bonding to the frame. The anode assembly has an anode material therein typically comprising zinc and the cathode assembly has a cathode material therein typically comprising manganese dioxide. The cell is durable and preferably rigid, has elongated leak block paths, and resists electrolyte leakage.

Abstract: Disclosed is a personal care composition comprising by weight: (a) from about 5% to about 35% of a hydrophobic gel comprising: (i) a cholesteryl derivative; (ii) an oil swelling clay material; (iii) a non-volatile liquid oil; and (iv) a polar solvent; and (b) a carrier which is substantially free of water, surfactant, and lecithin; which satisfies the need for a personal care composition having improved physical stability.

Abstract: Antiperspirant compositions and corresponding methods of use comprising a particulate antiperspirant active having a metal to chloride molar ratio of less than or equal to about 1.3, a volatile solvent, a low surface tension non-volatile solvent, and a suspending agent provide reduced skin irritation and superior antiperspirant efficacy.

Abstract: An underarm product and a spray package having a metered-dose valve assembly. The underarm product is contained and pressurized inside of the package. The underarm product being in the form of a liquid or emulsion. The underarm product is an antiperspirant or a deodorant. The underarm product contains a solubilized and/or non-solubilized propellant.
