  • Publication number: 20070142263
    Abstract: A cleansing composition is disclosed that changes color during use. The cleansing composition contains a plurality of thermochromic dyes that cause a color change to occur at a threshold temperature and continue to cause a color change over a temperature range. The range of temperatures corresponds to approximately the amount of time sufficient to properly wash or scrub using the product.

  • Publication number: 20060140899
    Abstract: Cleansing systems and methods are disclosed for improving the cleaning of skin. The cleansing systems comprise a first product comprising an anti-adherent formulation and a second product comprising a cationic compound capable of binding contaminants located on the skin. The first product is wiped across the skin of a user to introduce a film of the anti-adherent formulation onto the surface of the skin. This film reduces the amount of contaminant that is retained on the skin. The second product is wiped across the skin of a user to further dislodge and remove contaminants from the skin. The cleansing systems result in cleaner, healthier skin.

  • Publication number: 20060140924
    Abstract: The present invention provides a topical composition for application to the perianal and/or labial areas of the skin which helps prevent viscoelastic fluids, such as menses and feces, from attaching to the skin and aids in the reducing the viscoelastic properties of the fluid so that the fluid can flow into absorbent articles. The composition contains at least one viscoelastant material and at least one an anti-adherent material. the composition may be applied with a wipe, including mitts and gloves, a solid stick composition, an aerosol dispenser, a pump spray, a trigger spray, a squeeze bottle, as a foam, as a cream, as an ointment, as a salve, as a gel, as a wash or as a lotion. In addition, absorbent articles, such as pads or pants, diapers and the like may also be used as a means to transfer the composition to the skin.

  • Publication number: 20060067962
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an applicator and method for cooling skin. The applicator includes a substrate and a skin cooling composition that is attached to the substrate. In some embodiments, the skin cooling composition includes water, alcohol, a surfactant and a water dispersible silicone. As used herein, a water dispersible silicone includes a water dispersible silicone and/or a water soluble silicone. In other embodiments, the skin cooling composition includes water, a cooling agent and a polymeric emulsifier. The method of cooling skin includes positioning an applicator near the skin where the applicator includes a substrate and a skin cooling composition as described herein that is attached to the substrate. The method further includes engaging the substrate with the skin to apply the skin cooling composition to the skin.
