Abstract: A method of demonstrating the impact of a treatment on a surface comprising the steps of: i optionally imaging at least one untreated surface ii applying at least one treatment to the surface(s)such that if step i) is not performed at least two different surfaces are treated with differing treatments, iii imaging the treated surface(s) to create an image; iv converting the imaging data into a format suitable to create a magnified image on a 3D printer; v producing a 3D model of each of the imaged surface(s).

Abstract: The invention provides an oral care composition comprising: (a) a continuous phase comprising water or polyhydric alcohol or a mixture thereof; and (b) a particulate calcium carbonate abrasive composed of primary particles which are acicular and which have a length of 2 microns or greater; in which the level of the particulate calcium carbonate abrasive ranges from 10 to 70%, preferably from 20 to 60%, more preferably from 30 to 40%, by total weight of the particulate calcium carbonate abrasive based on the total weight of the composition. The composition of the invention demonstrates satisfactory levels of cleaning, yet is not unduly abrasive and damaging to the teeth.

Abstract: The invention provides a non-aqueous oral care composition with a liquid continuous phase comprising a thickening agent, a humectant, and a crystalline structuring agent, characterised in that the composition further comprises abrasive amorphous silica particles which are capable of acting as a booster to the cleaning ability of the composition and which have a weight mean particle size (d50) ranging from 3 to 15 microns. Preferred components are carboxyvinyl polymers as thickening agent, glycerin as humectant and solid polyethylene glycols such as polyethylene glycol 3000 as structuring agent. The composition may further comprise a liquid polyethylene glycol. The composition has improved appearance (in particular shine or glossiness) and improved squeezability, i.e. good rheology, even at high temperatures (such as 40° C.).

Abstract: An antiperspirant active salt made by treating an aluminum salt of general formula; Al2(OH)6−aXa wherein X is Cl, Br or I, and a is 0.3 to 4.0, with an effective amount of a phosphorus containing material, and ageing the salt.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method of removing soil from a surface, comprises the steps of:
