Abstract: A composition for personal care products comprises succinoglycan, brassicyl valinate esylate, cetearyl alcohol, and optionally acemannan. Another composition for personal care products comprises acemannan and has a prebiotic effect for vaginal bacteria. The composition for personal care products has suitable viscosity to be used as a base of personal care products such as a cream, a lotion, a lubricant, an ointment, a syrup, a gel, or the like and does not include harmful components. The composition for personal care products is stable under various pH, including acidic, neutral, and basic pH, and the viscosity does not deteriorate over storage. The composition for personal care products is compatible with wide ranges of salt and electrolyte concentrations, pH, and osmolality found in human body.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods and compositions for inhibiting the transmission of enveloped viruses, which entails applying a composition containing a high molecular weight hydrophobically-modified polymer to an infectable or ingestible surface that may contain viruses and wherein said anti-viral composition comprises less than about 9% by weight of surfactant having an HLB greater than about 12.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods and compositions for inhibiting the transmission of enveloped viruses, which entails applying a composition containing a high molecular weight hydrophobically-modified polymer to an infectable or ingestible surface that may contain viruses and wherein said anti-viral composition is substantially free of surfactant having an HLB greater than about 12.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods and compositions for inhibiting the transmission of enveloped viruses, which entails applying a composition containing a low molecular weight hydrophobically-modified polymer to an infectable or ingestible surface that may contain viruses, wherein said compositions further comprise less than about 9% by weight of surfactant having an HLB of greater than 12.
