Abstract: A dermatologically compatible substantive oil-in-water sunscreen composition is disclosed comprising a block polymer substantive agent and a sunscreening agent. The composition is adaptable for dispensing by a spray means.

Abstract: A novel device and method for delivering a liquid containing an active ingredient to a treatment site on the skin is disclosed. The device is useful for treating lesions or abnormal skin features such as corns, warts, calluses, bunions, actinic keratoses and hard hyperkeratotic skin as is often found on the face, arms, legs or feet.

Abstract: The present invention is directed towards a method, a composition and an article of manufacture for protecting the skin from jellyfish stings. The method comprises topically contacting the skin with a composition containing polymeric quaternary ammonium salt in amounts sufficient to protect against the rupture of jellyfish nematocysts. The composition can be in the form of an emulsion, liquid dispersion, solution, skin cream, face cream, lotion or ointment.

Abstract: Stable sulfide-containing compositions have been developed. The stable sulfide-containing composition comprises a) a sulfide, a polysulfide or mixtures thereof, of an alkali or an alkaline earth metal, and b) a carrier, such that after maintaining the sulfide-containing composition at a temperature of about 37.degree. to about 50.degree. Celsius for about 2 weeks to one month, the sulfide content remaining in the sulfide-containing composition is about 90% or greater of the initial sulfide content. The sulfide-containing compositions can be used for relieving the pain of ingrown toenail by softening the nail, or as a depilatory for removing human hair or hair from animal hides.

Abstract: An article comprising a soft, polysiloxane elastomer having a hardness of 5-55 durometer units (Shore 00), the elastomer having a pressure sensitive adhesive on at least one of its surfaces is described. A process for bonding a pressure sensitive adhesive to the soft polysiloxane elastomeric is also described.

Abstract: The invention encompasses oil-in-water type emulsion formulations having decreased skin rub-in times, comprising a nonaqueous phase, an aqueous phase and an oil-in-water emulsifier, which emulsion formulation also contains a water-in-oil emulsifier.

Abstract: Sunscreen emulsion formulations of the oil-in-water type containing an aqueous phase, an emulsifier, and an oil phase comprising at least one ultraviolet-absorbing organic compound and hydrophobically treated silica particles, wherein the concentration of said organic compounds is at least about 30 times the concentration of the silica.
