  • Publication number: 20170204251
    Abstract: A blow molded article, a method of making a blow molded article and a method of making a preform each having at least one layer comprising a thermoplastic resin and between 0.1% and 20% of an additive having a viscosity of greater than 1,000,000 cst. There is a refractive index difference of at least 0.04 between the additive and the thermoplastic resin. The high viscosity of the additive ensures even distribution of the additive within the thermoplastic resin in discrete domains, while additionally providing for a complex end look balancing opacity, gloss and depth.

  • Patent number: 8518001
    Abstract: A personal skin polishing or microdermabrasion device having a convenient form factor with a applicator attached to a contoured housing with a handle portion. The housing contains a battery, a cordless motor and a gear box to provide an appropriate rotational velocity to the output shaft that is coupled to the applicator. The applicator may be a foam material selected to cushion the skin from excessive abrasion to the particles in a personal care composition to be used with device, and to have a porosity that will enable the foam to interact with the particles and enhance the skin polishing effect.
