Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of making applicators for inserting materials into body cavities. The applicators comprise a tubular insertion member having an insertion end and a gripper end opposite thereof. The gripper end has an indentation with a shoulder on each end of the indentation. The shoulder most proximal the insertion end provides resistance to finger slip during the step of inserting the applicator into a body cavity. Whereas the shoulder most proximal the gripper end provides resistance to finger slip during the step of expelling material substantially contained by the applicator. The shoulder most proximal the gripper end also provides secure handling of the applicator while removing the applicator from the body after the expulsion step has been completed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to applicators comprising an elongate insertion member having an insertion end and a gripper end opposite thereof, wherein the gripper end has an indentation with a shoulder on each end of the indentation. The shoulder most proximal the insertion end provides resistance to finger slip during the step of inserting the applicator into a body cavity. Whereas the shoulder most proximal the gripper end provides resistance to finger slip during the step of expelling material substantially contained by the applicator.

Abstract: The present invention relates to oil-in-water emulsion compositions useful for topical application to human skin. These compositions comprise from about 5% to about 60% by weight of the total composition of an oil phase having a viscosity from about 3000 cps to about 10,000,000 cps, wherein the oil phase comprises from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of the total composition of a particulate thickener for the oil phase, and from 0% to about 10% by weight of the total composition of an oil phase emulsifier. These compositions also comprise from about 40% to about 95% by weight of the total composition of an aqueous phase selected from the group consisting of water, water-miscible solvents, and mixtures thereof, wherein the aqueous phase comprises from 0% to about 10% by weight of the total composition of an aqueous phase emulsifier. In these compositions the weight percentages of the oil phase emulsifier and of the aqueous phase emulsifer are not simultaneously zero.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for regulating wrinkles and/or atrophy in mammalian skin comprising treating the skin with a safe and effective amount of salicylic acid and/or additional active component.

Abstract: Detergent compositions comprising a mixture of nonionic and zwitterionic detergent surfactants; hydrophobic cleaning solvent; and polycarboxylate detergent builder provide superior cleaning of all of the soils commonly found in the bathroom. The compositions have a pH of from about 1 to about 5.5. The compositions are in the form of aqueous liquids.
