  • Method for treating gingival and periodontal tissues
    Patent number: 5632972
    Abstract: A method for minimizing damage to gingival and periodontal tissue is provided through steps that include delivering a first composition containing a zinc salt to a receptacle, delivering a second composition containing a bicarbonate salt to the same receptacle, and transferring within five minutes of delivery to the receptacle the combination into the mouth onto the gingival and periodontal tissues. Where the compositions are semi-solid such as in a toothpaste and/or gel, the receptacle is ordinarily a toothbrush.

  • Sprayable hair treatment composition
    Patent number: 5599532
    Abstract: A hairspray composition is described that includes a nonionic polymer and an anionic polymer. The nonionic polymer is formed from monomers having at least one unneutralized carboxylic acid. The anionic polymer is identical to the nonionic one, except that all of the carboxylic acid groups are in salt form. Advantageously, the composition further includes an acrylic resin, most especially an amphoteric one. Best results are achieved when the acrylic resin is neutralized with a relatively small cation such as potassium and a second cation of a water soluble fatty amine. These compositions employ water as the carrier and dimethyl ether as propellant.

  • Antiperspirant materials and compositions
    Patent number: 5593663
    Abstract: Novel antiperspirant actives are amphiphilic materials which form, upon contact with perspiration, a water-insoluble liquid crystal phase of greater than one-dimensional periodicity, e.g. a cubic (three-dimensional periodicity) or hexagonal (two-dimensional periodicity) liquid crystal structure. Examples of such actives include lipids, surfactants, emulsifiers, polymer amphiphilic complexes and block copolymer surfactants which form the required liquid crystal phase upon contact with sweat. Preferably, antiperspirant compositions comprising the novel active(s) are free of conventional antiperspirant actives, especially aluminum and/or zirconium salts.

  • Nail polish remover product
    Patent number: 5582333
    Abstract: A nail polish remover product is provided formed of a liquid nail polish remover composition and a dispenser for storing and delivering the composition. A volatile solvent such as acetone or ethyl acetate usually forms a significant portion of the composition. The dispenser will include a bottle and a cap. The bottle will have a mouth at an open end thereof which is provided with a coupling mechanism such as a male screw thread to lock the cap. The cap has a deck to cover the bottle mouth, a female screw thread to lockingly engage the thread around the mouth, a skirt surrounding the deck and a lid hingedly attached to the skirt. The deck is concave shaped with an aperture centered therein allowing dispensing of the composition from the bottle when the lid is in an open position but preventing dispensing when the lid is in a closed position.

  • Cosmetic composition comprising particles of polyisobutylene resin and process for the preparation of same
    Patent number: 5580550
    Abstract: Cosmetic compositions comprising an emulsion, preferably an aqueous emulsion, including at least one cosmetic resin material, e.g. a hydrocarbon resin such as polyisobutylene, are made by direct emulsification of the resin without a solvent or carrier therefor. The direct emulsification may be achieved by a special mixing regime, with particular emulsifiers. The absence of solvent or carrier for the resin material avoids product thinning and gives several manufacturing and processing advantages.
