Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition or article containing at least one oxidizing agent and at least one reducing agent, wherein at least one of the at least one reducing agent is a depilatory agent, the equivalent ratio of the at least one oxidizing agent to the at least one reducing agent is less than 1:1, and the article is exothermic when wet with water, and the use thereof to remove hair from the skin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a substantially dry article containing an insoluble substrate, at least one oxidizing agent, and at least one reducing agent, wherein the article is exothermic when wet with water and the use thereof.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to detergent compositions that not only have superior viscosity, spreadability, and clarity properties but also do not cause significant irritation to the skin and eyes. More specifically, acrylic polymeric thickeners are combined with polyol glycol thickeners in order to achieve such properties in detergent compositions.

Abstract: Cleansing And Moisturizing Surfactant compositions Cleansing surfactant compositions are provided which cleanse, condition and moisturize of the skin and hair and which exhibit a low degree of irritation to the eyes.

Abstract: Cleansing surfactant compositions are provided which cleanse, condition and moisturize the skin and hair and which exhibit a low degree of irritation to the eyes. These cleansing compositions preferably contain the following components: a. a surfactant portion containing: 1. a nonionic surfactant; 2. an amphoteric surfactant; and 3. an anionic surfactant; the total connection of said nonionic, amphoteric and anionic surfactants being present in the composition in an amount from about 5 to about 20 percent by weight of said cleansing composition; and b. a substantive humectant present in the composition in an amount from about 0.01 to about 3 percent by weight of said cleansing composition. The substantive humectants used in the present invention are preferably cationically charged polyols derived from sugars or sugar derivatives and they further comprise a long chain alkyl or alkenyl group having from about 6 to 22 carbon atoms.
