Abstract: Disclosed are oral care compositions which provide faster and enhanced whitening efficacy. The present compositions comprise a unique combination of whitening agent, gum soother and sodium benzoate.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an oral composition comprising a combination of salivating agents and gum sensates in an orally acceptable carrier useful in treating and/or alleviating the symptoms associated with xerostomia. Additional components common in oral compositions may also be used, in order to potentiate the effect. Such components may be chosen among humectants, mucoadhesive polymers, water retention agents, antioxidants, antimicrobials, breath fresheners.

Abstract: The present invention provides an approach for stabilizing and/or smoothing preparations containing colloidal materials, a pre-mix and a process for preparing skin care compositions and an improved skin care composition, said composition being presented in semi-solid or wet form and comprising more than 1% (w/w) of colloidal material. In one embodiment of the invention the composition comprises more than 1% of colloidal material such as colloidal oatmeal, said composition being particularly useful for treating the skin and ameliorating skin disorder symptoms.

Abstract: Disclosed are odor suppressing analgesic compositions comprising: a) from about 0.1% to about 20%, by weight, of farnesol or other suitable deodorizing bacteriostatic agent; and b) from about 0.1% to about 60%, by weight, volatile organic compound wherein said volatile organic compound may be encapsulated and is chosen from the following (menthol, camphor, methyl salicylate, methyl nicotiniate, or combination of thereof); and c) a water-in-oil or oil-in-water emulsion, gel, patch, plaster, ointment, solution or spray carrier. An optimized odor suppressing analgesic composition can provide a combination of antimicrobial properties, odor suppression properties, skin cooling or heating properties, topical analgesic properties, low irritation and stability.

Abstract: An antimicrobial moisturizing composition includes benzethonium chloride or benzalkonium chloride, a non-benzyl cationic surfactant, and an aqueous carrier. The composition of the present invention provides a significant and unexpected reduction of irritation, inflammation, dryness and/or redness, all issues associated with known alcohol-based skin disinfectants. In particular, the present invention provides a stable, aesthetically-pleasing, long-lasting, and moisturizing antimicrobial composition that is substantially free of ethanol, polysorbates, and anionic compounds that are known to inhibit the activity of benzethonium chloride or benzalkonium chloride.

Abstract: Novel micro-encapsulated topical analgesics are provided to treat pain and may be applied via sleeves having dosed therapeutic sections, especially to joints and extremities. Sleeves may be prepared and packaged inside-out and inverted when positioned by the wearer.

Abstract: An improved process for making a mixed oxyaluminum acylate composition wherein the mole ratio of aromatic to aliphatic radicals ranges from about to 2:3 to 19:1 and improved aluminum complex greases made using a mixed oxyaluminum acylate wherein the mole ratio of aromatic to aliphatic radicals is from about 2:3 to 3:1.

Abstract: A continuous process for making aluminum complex greases involving the step of passing a mixed dispersion of oxyaluminum acylate and carboxylic acid material in a grease making oil through a reaction zone.

Abstract: Mixed aromatic/aliphatic oxyaluminum acylates wherein the ratio of the number of aromatic radicals to the number of aliphatic radicals ranges from 3:1 to 19:1 and a process for making such compounds. Also premix compositions useful in grease manufacture are provided along with methods for preparing new greases therefrom.

Abstract: Mixed aromatic/aliphatic oxyaluminum acylates are provided which have utility for the manufacture of greases without generating by-product alcohol and without requiring the use of water.

Abstract: A cosmetic facial powder composition including filler, mendicant and fragrance ingredients possesses a high degree of transparency and oil absorbency provided by a large amount of the filler content being walnut shell flour having a particle size of not more than about 40 microns. The composition may be in loose or compact powder form.

Abstract: A curable storage stable polyester resin composition in a liquid or formable solid form containing oxy aluminum acylate. No water is needed in order to cause the composition to increase in viscosity over the viscosity of a comparable composition which contains no such oxy aluminum acylate, and no by-product alcohol is produced in the system as the oxy aluminum acylate interreacts with the other components of the resin composition. Such compositions can be prepared easily and simply, and, in the presence of a curing agent, can be converted into solid products which characteristically have physical properties and chemical resistance which are, respectively, at least as good as comparable cured compositions which contain no oxy aluminum acylate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant of the miniature rose class, which was originated by my crossing as seed parent the floribunda rose known as "Orange Sensation" and the miniature rose known as "Zinger" as pollen parent.
