Abstract: Compositions and methods for treating inflammation in mammalian tissue are provided using substantially continuously, in situ generated, anti-inflammatory effective amounts of hydrogen peroxide.

Abstract: A package for a liquid household care composition is provided which eliminates any foul smelling odors emanating from the composition. The package includes a unitarily molded bottle having a container area formed from plastic walls and an open and a closed end, the open end including a neck area with an open mouth. A cap is present for reclosably covering the open mouth. A dispensing fitment such as a pour spout is molded separate from the bottle and supported adjacent the neck area. Plastic walls of the fitment include an aroma control agent, advantageously present within an encapsulating matrix. Walls of the bottle are substantially free of the aroma control agent.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a container comprising a dispensing opening, a dispensing tap for dispensing product through the dispensing opening, a measuring cap having an internal volume, wherein the dispensing cap is releasably secured to the container, and wherein the measuring cap has an aperture which defines a measuring cap opening and wherein at least a portion of the measuring cap internal volume is below the lowest point of the measuring cap opening when the measuring cap is secured to the container when the container is in a dispensing position.

Abstract: An ordered liquid crystalline phase cleansing composition is disclosed that contains particles with a structure comprising a benefit agent and a gellation agent and provides high foaming with in a preferred embodiment levels of free emollient equal to or in excess of the level of surfactant. A method of depositing a benefit agent to the skin or hair with the ordered liquid crystalline phase cleansing composition is also disclosed.

Abstract: An aqueous isotropic liquid cleansing and moisturizing composition is provided having a surfactant; a thickening agent, and organogel particles with a structure comprising a benefit agent and a gellation agent. In a preferred embodiment the inventive cleansing composition includes a free emollient having a weight average emollient particle size in the range about 1 to about 500 microns.

Abstract: The invention relates to use of polydextrose in combination with sucrose to induce biphasic liquid formation. Salt may be optionally used.

Abstract: A system is described for providing a customized, personal care product to a consumer at a location, typically the point of sale, that is remote from a second location in which a personal care product base composition is prepared. A selection of performance agents of different classes with a common vehicle is made available to the consumer for custom formulation of a personal care product with the desired attributes. The system typically includes a product base, a fragrance part, and one or more performance agent parts that may contain benefit agents, botanical extracts, active ingredients for skin and hair, and the like. A blank vehicle is substituted if insufficient performance agents are selected.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel structuring system comprising both xanthan gum and cross-linked polyacrylic acid polymer which combination unexpectedly has been found to provide enhanced stability for large size benefit agent droplets in an amphoteric/anionic surfactant system relative to use of either structurant alone.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of enhancing low temperature stability of lamellar structured liquid cleansing compositions comprising 5% to 50% of a surfactant system comprising (a) anionic or mixture of anionics and (b) an amphoteric and/or zwifterionic surfactant, wherein said method comprises selecting component (b) such that alkalimetal alkylamphoacetate comprises greater than 25% to 90% of said component (b).

Abstract: An aqueous liquid cleansing and moisturizing composition comprising a base formulation and an additive formulation in which the base formulation and additive formulation are separate but combinedly dispensable from a single packaging means in a predetermined ratio as discrete domains. By adding some surfactant to additive formulation stripe, enhanced lather is obtained. Further, some surfactant is assured, even if there is uneven pumping. Finally, greater consumer control of surfactant of moisturizer levels is afforded.

Abstract: In one embodiment the present invention relates to a personal bath or shower gel system comprising (A) a light weight polymeric meshed sponge and (B) a liquid cleanser comprising (1) an effective amount of surfactants(s) and (2) a deodorant perfume. In a second embodiment, the invention relates to a method for enhancing delivery/dispersion of deodorant perfume on skin or substrate by either applying liquid to sponge and applying sponge to substrate and/or applying liquid to skin/substrate and then rubbing skin/substrate with said sponge.

Abstract: An aqueous cleansing and moisturising composition comprising 5-35 wt. % C.sub.8 to C.sub.22 fatty acid; up to 10 wt. % of a surface active agent, a benefit agent having a weight average particle size in the range 15 to 500 microns and structurant. The structurant is a material which causes the composition to adopt the lamellar phase or a material which structures the continuous liquid phase or a mixture thereof. The composition is substantially free of insoluble solid fatty acid or fatty acid soap.

Abstract: The present invention provides an aqueous shower-gel composition comprising: 10-30% wt of an anionic surfactant, 3-15% wt of an oily component, the ratio of said anionic surfactant to said oil being at least 1:1, 1-5% wt of a fatty acid monoglyceride polyglycol ether, and, 1-5% wt of at least one nonionic surfactant having a HLB between 5 and 10. The oily component is present at a level which provides a skin benefit. The composition has a viscosity suitable for use as a shower-gel, contains an effective level of low molecular weight moisturising oil and does not lose product structure due to the presence of this oil. Typically, the oily component is a 3-6 carbon alcohol ester of a fatty acid having at least 10 carbon atoms.
