Patent number: 6878380Abstract: A wiping article is provided which includes an effervescent cleanser composition held within a pouch formed from a first and second substrate sheet. At least one of the substrate sheets must be water permeable. The effervescent composition is an intimate mixture of an acid material such as citric acid and an alkaline material such as sodium bicarbonate. Water contact causes the combination to effervesce. A dry surfactant such as sodium cocoyl isethionate in contact with the water and effervescing carbon dioxide results in a highly pleasant sudsing system. Skin benefit agents may be included within the composition. The effervescent action may improve deposition of the skin benefit agents onto the skin.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2001Date of Patent: April 12, 2005Assignee: Chesebrough-Pond's USA, division of Conopco, Inc.Inventors: Linda Farrell, Craig Stephen Slavtcheff, Alexander Paul Znaiden, Paul Vinski

Patent number: 6270780Abstract: Resveratrol, a component of a variety of common edible plants, including peanuts and red grapes, is a phytoestrogen. Resveratrol inhibits proliferation of skin epidermal cells (keratinocytes) and stimulates their differentiation. Resveratrol was also found to inhibit melanin production by skin cells and to alleviate skin irritation that may be caused by alpha-hydroxy acids. Resveratrol is useful in improving the appearance of wrinkled, lined, dry, flaky, aged or photodamaged skin and improving skin thickness, elasticity, flexibility, radiance, glow and plumpness.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 1998Date of Patent: August 7, 2001Assignee: Chesebrough-Pond's USA Co., division of ConopcoInventors: Robert George Carson, Krupa Patel, Marieann Carlomusto, Carol Annette Bosko, Sreekumar Pillai, Uma Santhanam, Ronni Lynn Weinkauf, Koichi Iwata, Laura Rose Palanker

Patent number: 6174536Abstract: A cosmetic product is provided for removing keratotic skin plugs. The product includes a flexible non-occlusive substrate sheet onto which a composition containing an anionic or nonionic polymer is deposited. The composition is treated to become dry non-tacky to the touch yet upon being wetted for use the composition again turns tacky and mobile. The method of application involves either directly moistening the product or indirectly moistening by first wetting a consumer's face in an area where the product is applied. Thereafter, water is allowed to evaporate leaving a film to which the keratotic plugs are bonded. The film is then peeled away concommittingly removing the plugs.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 1999Date of Patent: January 16, 2001Assignee: Chesebrough-Pond's USA Co., division of Conopco, Inc.Inventors: Brian Andrew Crotty, Philip Edward Miner, Anthony Johnson, Alexander Paul Znaiden

Patent number: 6136253Abstract: A duckbill valve is provided which includes a hollow cylindrical elastomeric body with first and second ends. The first end has walls parabolically tapering to an elongate slit, the slit being surrounded by an upper and lower lip. The second end has a non-uniformly round (e.g. oval) outer wall terminating in an open mouth. When inserted into a perfectly round apertured fitting, the non-uniformly round outer walled elastomeric body is bowed to form-fit the round configuration thereby forcing shut the lips and slit. Upon increased air pressure within the elastomeric body, the slit is forced open. In a second embodiment, the inner wall of the second end may be non-uniformly (e.g. oval) round. Insertion of a round tubular fitting within the non-round inner wall of the elastomeric body also achieves a bowed form-fit configuration which forces shut the lips and slit.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 1999Date of Patent: October 24, 2000Assignee: Chesebrough-Pond's USA, division of Conopco, Inc.Inventor: Robert Alfread Bennett

Patent number: 6129243Abstract: The invention relates to an adaptor which enables two premade tubes such as toothpaste tubes of varying sizes to be fitted together, one inside the other to obtain a dual tube dispenser providing for separate storage of two dissimilar substances and its co-extrusion from the dispenser as and when desired upon application of external pressure on the latter. The adaptor includes a threaded component in the form of a cap with internal threads to match the threads of the neck portion of conventional toothpaste tubes. A central passage provided in the adaptor communicates with the inside of the tube to which it is screw-fitted. The adaptor is further provided with press-fitting studs to hold the tube coaxially within a larger tube to obtain a dual tube dispenser, the press-fitting studs being capable of forming a press-fit connection in the internal portion of the neck of the larger tube.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 1996Date of Patent: October 10, 2000Assignee: Chesebrough-Pond's USA Co., division of Conopco, Inc.Inventors: Nagesh Keshav Pal, Shashank Vaman Dhalewadikar, Colin Prottey
