Patent number: 8846063Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a personal care composition containing a carrier, an oil phase having at least one terpene alcohol component, an at least partially fluorinated compound, and a stabilizer. In an exemplary aspect, the at least partially fluorinated compound is stable within the composition of the present disclosure with the introduction of an oil phase having at least one terpene alcohol component to stabilize the at least partially fluorinated compound. Thus, the composition provides an initial foaming action and longer term skin benefits provided by an oil phase contacting a terpene alcohol component. A stabilizing component may also be included to provide further stability to the composition.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2008Date of Patent: September 30, 2014Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Jeffery Richard Seidling, Sarah Anne Lemke, Scott W.

Patent number: 8603054Abstract: A delivery product is used to deliver a skin composition to the skin of a user. The delivery product includes a thermo-responsive polymer film. The polymer film is solid at room temperature but, once contacted with the skin, increases in temperature and degrades. A skin composition is associated with the polymer film. The skin composition can be applied to a surface of the film or can be incorporated into the film. The skin composition is released by the polymer film for treating the skin of the user.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2012Date of Patent: December 10, 2013Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Sarah Anne Lemke, Kroy Donald Johnson

Publication number: 20110293931Abstract: A single-ply dispersible wet wipe constructed from a single-ply wipe substrate containing a fibrous substrate and a binder composition is disclosed. The binder composition may be applied substantially to the outer surfaces of the fibrous substrate. The wet wipes also contain a wetting composition containing between about 0.5 and about 3.5 percent of an insolubilizing agent, such as salt. Upon agitation in water for ten minutes or less, the single-ply wipe substrate splits into two sections to enhance the dispersibility of the product.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2010Publication date: December 1, 2011Inventors: Nathan John Vogel, Kenneth John Zwick, David James Sealy Powling, Kroy Donald Johnson, Peter Shawn Lortscher, Robert Stanley Monson, David Glen Biggs, Michael George Shlepr

Publication number: 20110290437Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to dispersible wet wipes. More particularly, the disclosure relates to a dispersible wet wipe constructed of a wipe substrate containing a tissue web consisting of cellulose fibers and a binder composition for binding said binder composition to said tissue web. The tissue web contains cellulose fibers that have a fiber length of 3 mm or less. The construction of the dispersible wipes may allow for a pass through percentage value calculates via a dispersibility shake flask test of at least about 70 percent for increased dispersibility. More desirably, the single-ply dispersible wet wipes may have a pass through percentage value of at least about 95 percent.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2010Publication date: December 1, 2011Inventors: Nathan John Vogel, Kenneth John Zwick, David James Sealy Powling, Kroy Donald Johnson, Peter Shawn Lortscher

Publication number: 20090324506Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a skin protectant formulation that is designed to be sprayed onto human skin for the purpose of protecting the skin. In particular, an exemplary formulation of the present disclosure contains at least a carrier, a structurant and a skin protectant agent. An exemplary formulation contains a carrier comprising at least water, a structurant comprising at least a laponite clay, and a skin protectant agent comprising petrolatum. Typically, the skin protectant formulation will comprise at least about 30 wt. % of a skin protectant agent. A continuous spray dispenser may be used to apply the skin protectant formulation to reduce the need for rubbing as the treated area can be covered by a mist of the skin protectant formulation requiring no need to rub for application or small droplets that do not require extensive time for rubbing in.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2008Publication date: December 31, 2009Inventors: Jeffery Richard Seidling, Scott W.
