Abstract: A kit includes a multi-phase oral composition for whitening teeth and an electromagnetic radiation source. The multi-phase oral composition for whitening teeth includes from about 0.002% to about 30%, by weight of the multi-phase oral composition, of a discontinuous aqueous phase having a bleaching agent, where a concentration of the bleaching agent is up to 10%, by weight of the multi-phase oral composition, and at least about 50%, by weight of the multi-phase oral composition, of a continuous hydrophobic phase of petrolatum. The electromagnetic radiation source is capable of directing electromagnetic radiation with one or more wavelength in the range from about 200 nm to about 1700 nm toward at least one tooth. The electromagnetic radiation source emits electromagnetic radiation in a range from about 100 mW/cm2 to about 250 mW/cm2.

Abstract: Disclosed is a personal care product customized by one or more solid discrete particles of a mixture composition, wherein the mixture composition comprises a surfactant and a high melting point fatty compound, and wherein the mixture composition contains less than about 50% of water. Also disclosed is a method of applying such customized personal care products to a target surface. The present invention provides at least one of the following benefits: Boosting rheology especially storage modulus (G?); Boosting conditioning benefits; Adding a new benefit such as aesthetic benefit, anti-dandruff benefit, sensate such as heating/cooling, and scent; and Providing at least one of the above benefits, while having improved stability.
Abstract: Disclosed is a wearable article continuous in a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction comprising an elastic belt region, a crotch region, a waist opening and two leg openings; the elastic belt region is a laminate comprising an inner sheet made of nonwoven fiber, and an outer sheet made of nonwoven fiber, and a plurality of elastic bodies configured to stretch the elastic belt region in the transverse direction, the crotch region comprises an outer cover layer at the most garment facing side, the outer cover layer being the same material as the outer sheet; wherein the outer sheet has a Compression Work of more than about 550 gfmm, a Compression Average Rigidity of less than about 500 gf/mm3, a Surface Roughness Wavelength of more than about 1.7 mm, and a Glossiness of less than about 5.3, the Compression Work, the Compression Average Rigidity, the Surface Roughness Wavelength and the Glossiness according to the measurements herein.
Abstract: The need for a liquid hand-dishwashing composition which provides further improved sudsing volume and longevity when washing dishware, especially at elevated temperatures, using diluted liquid hand dishwashing compositions, and especially in the presence of greasy soil and particulate soil, while avoiding unsightly residues on dishware, is met by combining a sudsing surfactant system with an EO-PO-EO triblock copolymer and a highly ethoxylated nonionic surfactant.
