  • Patent number: 11559598
    Abstract: An alcohol free, low viscosity, and high-water content air freshener composition is provided. The transparent microemulsion system is stable at a broad range of temperatures. The main ingredient of the composition is water. The composition is free of conventionally-used amphiphilic surfactants including ionic and non-ionic surfactants. The composition contains an oil phase, an aqueous phase and at least one glycol ether solvent. The system is compatible for a wide scope of water-immiscible ingredients that are used in fragrances and flavors.

  • Patent number: 9408810
    Abstract: A product and method for controlling mouth odor and bad breath using an oral care product containing an odor neutralizer. The product for use in oral care or for use in the mouth to control mouth odors includes an odor neutralizer compound. In a preferred method of manufacture, the O.M. COMPLEX oral compound is mixed into a concentrated flavor material. The concentrated flavor material is then added in small percentages to the product during manufacture so that the resulting product includes the odor neutralizer compound. The product may be used in the ordinary manner by a user and during use the O.M. COMPLEX oral compound serves to capture and neutralize odor causing compounds.

  • Patent number: 7637738
    Abstract: A candle and appertaining methods of manufacturing and using the candle involve a candle having a first section with a first wax that melts at a first temperature, and a second section with a second wax with a fragrance that melts at a second temperature so that the candle can be manufactured to keep the first wax and the second wax separate during manufacture and storage, but so that the first wax and the second wax combine when burning. The second section can comprise multiple inner portions, each having their own unique fragrance, the candle being constructed so that the fragrances combine when the candle is burned.

  • Publication number: 20090269297
    Abstract: A multiple component compound containing a molecular encapsulator and an aromatic complex is able to neutralize a wide variety of offensive odors, called malodors. The molecular encapsulator encapsulates molecules of malodors, including those derived from substances with sulfur groups or ammonia groups. The aromatic complex, via charge exchanges, disrupts the bonds of molecules of other malodors, including those derived from substances with fatty acids. Also, the compound may include a fragrance component, which would mask any remaining odor not addressed by the other components and would provide an overall fragrance as is desired.
