Abstract: A deodorant stick composition that contains from about 80% to about 90% of a solvent and a structurant. The solvent includes water and organic solvent that includes a polar organic solvent and a non-polar organic solvent. The polar organic solvent can include 1,3 propanediol and/or glycerin. The ratio of polar organic solvent to non-polar organic solvent is from about 4:5 to about 3:1. The deodorant stick composition can have a hardness from about 80 to about 120 mm*10.

Abstract: A stable skin care composition that includes zinc oxide, a preservative system, and a dermatologically acceptable carrier. The preservative system includes a registered preservative material chosen from phenoxyethanol, benzyl alcohol, chlorphenesin, or mixtures thereof and optionally a booster comprising 1,2-octanediol and/or hydroxyacetophenone. The zinc oxide is dispersed throughout the skin care composition and the composition delivers a log reduction of ?2 for yeast and mold, according to the Microbial Susceptibility Testing.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a hair care composition comprising from about 8% to about 25% of one or more surfactants from about 0.01% to 10% of one or more surfactant-soluble agent; wherein the composition has a fractional soluble agent concentration (?) of 0.5-1.0 wherein ‘?’ is defined as a = C ? K s i ? C s i where C is the surfactant-soluble agent concentration, Csi are the surfactant concentrations and Ksi is the solubilization capacity of each type of surfactant (e.g. in units of ppm octopirox/weight percent of surfactant) wherein Ksi can be measured easily for any surfactant and surfactant-soluble agent combination.
