  • Patent number: 8512721
    Abstract: A single-use disposable applicator for applying sunscreen and insect repellent to the skin is a non-woven, woven or porous fibrous material wipe that is saturated with a composition containing a waterproof sunscreen agent and an insect repellent. A film forming agent and solvent may also be present. When rubbed over the skin, the wipe provides a thin, non-greasy film that provides protection against UV absorption and insect repellent properties. The sunscreen and insect repellent combination contained in the wipe has an SPF factor between 2 and 50 and is long lasting and water resistant, which makes it ideal for use during hot or humid weather conditions.

  • Patent number: 7288513
    Abstract: A disinfecting and sanitizing article is adapted for use on objects to be disinfected and sanitized, including skin and hands and nonporous hard surfaces. The article is formed from a porous substrate formed from an absorbent fibrous matrix. A disinfecting and sanitizing agent is formed as a liquid composition that is absorbed into the substrate. The composition is formulated from an organic solvent present in a concentration of about 10 percent to 40 percent by weight, a surfactant present in a concentration of about 0.5 percent to 20 percent by weight, one or more pathogen killing agents present in a concentration of about 0.255 percent to 10.5 percent by weight, an emollient present in a concentration of about 0.05 percent to 3.0 percent by weight, and water present in a concentration of about 50.0 percent to 89.9 percent by weight. Application of the article provides an abrasive disinfecting and sanitizing action by a scrubbing action on the surface of the object to disinfected and sanitized.
