Abstract: Disclosed is a method for delivering excess zinc to eukaryotic cells to inhibit the metabolism of the cell, the method comprising treating the cells with a zinc ionophoric that is capable of delivering a zinc ion across a cellular membrane wherein the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the zinc ionophoric material is less than about 500 ppm. Further disclosed is a method for delivering excess zinc to eukaryotic cells to inhibit the metabolism of the cell, the method comprising treating the cells with a zinc ionophoric material that is capable of delivering a zinc ion across a cellular membrane wherein the zinc ionophoric material is in combination with a zinc containing material and further wherein there is an increase in an intracellular zinc level by 1.5 fold more than would occur in the absence of the zinc ionophoric material.

Abstract: This invention comprises a synthetic surfactant composition which provides ultra skin mildness, and excellent lather. This invention is based on an ultra mild surfactant composition comprising: C.sub.8 alkyl glyceryl ether sulfonate C.sub.8 (AGS). The C.sub.8 AGS offers a remarkable combination of desirable properties for mild cleansing formulations.

Abstract: A very stable mild soap personal cleansing and moisturizing composition comprising: C.sub.8 -C.sub.22 free fatty acid soap, C.sub.8 -C.sub.22 free fatty acid, water, and petrolatum, preferably having a weight average particle size larger than 45 microns.

Abstract: This invention comprises a personal cleansing stamped synbar with improved processing based on an ultra mild, good foaming, alkyl glyceryl ether sulfonate and a co-surfactant acyl isethionate processing aid.

Abstract: This invention comprises a personal cleansing product based on an ultra mild, good foaming, alkyl glyceryl ether sulfonate and at least one other personal cleansing product component.

Abstract: A very stable mild soap personal cleansing and moisturizing composition comprising: C.sub.8 -C.sub.22 free fatty acid soap, C.sub.8 -C.sub.22 free fatty acid, water, and petrolatum, or emollient preferably having a weight average particle size larger than 45 microns.

Abstract: A very stable mild dispersoidal liquid soap personal cleansing and moisturizing composition comprising:(A) from about 5% to about 20% by weight of potassium C.sub.8 -C.sub.22 fatty acid soap;(B) from about 0.1 to about 7% C.sub.8 -C.sub.22 free fatty acid;(C) from about 35% to about 70% water; and(D) from about 8% to about 35% of a polyol selected from the group consisting of: glycerin, glycerol, propylene glycol, polypropylene glycols, polyethylene glycols, ethyl hexanediol, hexylene glycols, and other aliphatic alcohols; and mixtures thereof;(E) from about 0.5% to about 5% petrolatum or emollient having a specific particle size distribution, and(F) from about 0.5 to about 5% glycol ester selected from the group consisting of glycol monoesters and diesters of fatty acids with a chainlength from about 10 to about 22, and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: This invention is an improved mild personal cleansing syndet bar comprising: long chain synthetic surfactant having essentially saturated C.sub.15 -C.sub.22, preferably C.sub.16 -C.sub.18, alkyl or acyl chains, more preferably cetearyl sulfate; a high lathering, mild synthetic surfactant, preferably C.sub.12 -C.sub.14 acyl isethionate; soap; fatty acids; sodium isethionate; and paraffin wax, preferably a high melting point paraffin wax. The bar has improved processability, good smears, and good in-use properties without meaningful lather negatives.
