Abstract: Body scrub compositions and methods for forming body scrub compositions are provided herein. In one embodiment, a body scrub composition includes safflower oil, argan oil, and manila oil. Further, the body composition includes silica as a suspension agent.

Abstract: Hand sanitizers and methods for producing and using the same are provided. In an embodiment, a hand sanitizer comprises an alkyl monoalcohol at from about 50 to about 95 weight percent, based on the total weight of the hand sanitizer, where the monoalcohol has from 1 to 3 carbon atoms. The hand sanitizer also comprises a glycerin alkyl ether at from about 0.1 to about 5 weight percent, a glycerin alkyl ester at from about 0.1 to about 3 weight percent, an aromatic alcohol at from about 0.1 to about 3 weight percent, and a thickening agent at from about 0.01 to about 0.5 weight percent. All weight percents are based on the total weight of the hand sanitizer.

Abstract: An antibacterial composition includes at least one surfactant that is less than 6.0 weight percent of the composition and at least one antibacterial active that is less than 0.2 weight percent of the composition. The composition also has a pH between 6.0 and 6.5. The composition also exhibits an efficacy characteristic that results in a logarithmic reduction of at least 2.0 of a bacterial population based on measurements taken from of a user's hand.

Abstract: Materials and apparatus are provided for hormone deposition in a cleansing composition. A cleansing composition includes a number of surfactants disposed within the cleansing composition. The cleansing composition also includes a dermal absorption enhancer disposed within the cleansing composition configured to deposit a hormone onto a skin surface. The cleansing composition also includes a number of hormones disposed within the cleansing composition, in which the number of hormones are configured to be deposited on a skin surface.

Abstract: Materials and apparatus are provided for a skin cleaning composition with a cationic deposition component. The skin cleaning composition includes a keratolytic skin peeling ingredient. The skin cleaning composition further includes at least one surfactant. The skin cleaning composition further includes a cationic deposition component to enhance deposition of the keratolytic skin peeling ingredient onto the skin.

Abstract: An antibacterial composition includes at least one surfactant that is less than 6.0 weight percent of the composition and at least one antibacterial active that is less than 0.2 weight percent of the composition. The composition also has a pH between 6.0 and 6.5. The composition also exhibits an efficacy characteristic that results in a logarithmic reduction of at least 2.0 of a bacterial population based on measurements taken from of a user's hand.

Abstract: A sunscreen formulation and methods for making the same include a sunscreen compound into which is added a cooling agent. The cooling agent will produce a cooling or cooling sensation when experienced by a user of the sunscreen. A controlled release mechanism is used to delay activation of the cooling agent.

Abstract: A composition and method for a cross-linked acrylic acid polymer based personal cleanser having high clarity is disclosed. Particular compositional ingredients are combined in a specified process such that the final composition comprises a clear, transparent personal cleansing product.

Abstract: Skin and surface sanitizers and methods for forming skin and surface sanitizers are provided. In one embodiment, a surface sanitizer is formed of a plurality of dry particles. Each dry particle comprises a liquid comprising an antibacterial agent and a dry particulates coating surrounding the liquid. The liquid is present in an amount of from about 10 to about 90 wt. % of each dry particle. The surface sanitizer has a germ kill effectiveness of at least 50%.

Abstract: A method is provided for formulating a personal cleansing composition. At least one primary surfactant, at least one secondary amphoteric and/or nonionic surfactant, at least one humectant, and at least one polymeric and/or quaternary conditioner are selected, each of these components having a natural and renewable resource origin. The primary and secondary surfactants are combined with the at least one humectant and the at least one conditioner in a final composition that includes the combined primary and secondary surfactants at less than about 14 wt. %, and includes the combined at least one humectant and at least one conditioner at less than 5.5 wt. %. After forming the final composition, an optimum performance index (OPI) is determined for the composition to ensure that the composition has an OPI of at least about 5.450. The OPI is calculated as: OPI=3÷((solids wt. %+Zein score)÷performance grade).
