Abstract: The present invention relates to a deodorant composition containing (a) a polyphenol compound or a plant extract containing a polyphenol compound, (b) a basic substance, and (c) a metal salt. The deodorant composition of the present invention is capable of providing a deodorizing effect in a short period of time when it is applied to a malodor source, is capable of providing an excellent deodorizing activity and is also excellent in the store stability.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a double component type deodorant which comprises a first deodorant component A containing a liquid mixture containing a polyphenol and an acid agent and a second deodorant component B containing an alkali agent and an aqueous solvent. These deodorant components A and B may be separately stored in different storage parts. According to the invention, mixed type malodors in which at least two or more kinds of a sulfur-containing compound, aldehydes, lower fatty acids, amines, and the like are mixed can be efficiently deodorized.

Abstract: A shampoo or body detergent composition which comprises (A) a refrigerant substance selected from menthol, menthone, camphor, pulegol, isopulegol, cineole, Japanese peppermint oil, peppermint oil, spearmint oil, and eucalyptus oil, (B) a substance giving a cool feeling and comprising an N-substituted p-menthane-3-carboxamide derivative, (C) an anionic surfactant, and (D) a water-soluble polymer and/or polyhydric alcohol. It optionally contains (E) a substance which gives a warm feeling. The composition is satisfactory in the effect of giving a refrigerant feeling and cool feeling during use and in the retention of that effect thereafter.

Abstract: It is to provide an antioxidant excellent in antioxidative potential and having high safety is provided. Also, it is to provide an antioxidant in which problems of unpleasant smell and taste are avoided and its preparation method is not so complex. Further, it is to provide an antioxidant which can exert its effect by a simple operation when exertion of the antioxidative potential is desired. It relates to a double preparation type antioxidant, which comprises a mixture A comprising a polyphenol and a mixture B comprising an alkali agent. In particular, two antioxidant component-storing containers are mutually integrally molded and combined, and a mixture A comprising a polyphenol is stored in one of the antioxidant component-storing containers and a mixture B comprising an alkali agent is stored in the other antioxidant component storing container.

Abstract: The present invention provides a deoxidant composition gentle to human bodies and environments which is excellent in the deoxidation effect, does not generate heat during use, can be put to a metal detector, and gives no problems to a human body even when it is ingested accidentally. Specifically, the present invention relates to a deoxidant composition comprising a polyphenol derivative obtainable by subjecting a polyphenol to a reaction using an alkaline solvent under the coexistence of an oxygen molecule at a pH during reaction of 6.5 or more, and one member selected from water, a water-donating compound and a moisture absorbent.
