Patent number: 8992901Abstract: The invention is in the field of skin hygiene, especially hand hygiene and/or hand soap compositions. It remains to be desired to prepare skin hygiene compositions having a high anti-microbial effect, even with a low dosage of anti-microbial essential oils. It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a skin hygiene composition, having good anti-microbial properties, at low levels of essential oil. Surprisingly it has been found that composition comprising a low amount of at least two essential oils and a polymer provides improved hygiene efficacy.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2011Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: Conopco, Inc.Inventors: Sameer Keshav Barne, Kalpana Kamalakar Nayak, Aravindakshan Perincheery, Maya Treesa Saji

Patent number: 8980238Abstract: Because of the formation of disulfide bridges with mucus glycoproteins, the mucoadhesive properties of polymeric compounds can be significantly improved by the covalent attachment of thiol substructures to them. By the transformation of free thiol groups on such polymers in disulfides with mercaptonicotinamides or mercaptopyridoxins these thiol groups become comparatively more reactive resulting in significantly improved mucoadhesive properties. Furthermore, polymers exhibiting disulfide partial structures with mercaptonicotinamides or mercaptopyridoxins do not need to be protected against oxidation. In addition, they show comparatively higher permeation enhancing properties.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2010Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignees: Thiomatrix Forschungs—Und Beratungs GmbH, Croma Pharma GmbHInventor: Johannes Leierer
