Abstract: The present invention provides shaving gel and foam formulations comprising dichlorobenzyl alcohol as an antibacterial agent.

Abstract: A pouch containing a non-pressurized post-foaming gel, wherein the gel within the pouch is enclosed within an inert atmosphere, such as a nitrogen blanket, which protects the gel and prevents premature foaming and the separation of the gel's components. Upon opening the pouch and discharging the contents, the heat of the user's skin allows a low boiling point hydrocarbon, such as isopentane, to cause the gel to foam, thus providing the consumer with an instant benefit which could include cleansing, moisturizing, increasing shave comfort, wound treatment, etc. Further, the process to produce a gel which is suitable for use in a single use delivery system involves the steps of containing the gel in a jar, spraying the gel with nitrogen to remove the air from the jar, and then swirling the jar to form a non-aerated gel without weight variation problems.

Abstract: An analgesic stick composition comprising(i) a delivery system comprising about 10 to about 65% by weight alcohol; about 6 to about 10% by weight of an alkali metal salt of a saturated fatty acid gelling agent having from about C.sub.8 to about C.sub.22 ; about 10 to about 30% water; and(ii) an analgesic compound selected from the group consisting of oleoresin capsicum, capsicum, capsaicin, camphor, allyl isothiocyanate, methyl nicotinate, menthol and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: Essentially non-staining antiperspirant stick composition containing the combination polyoxyethylene(25) propylene glycol stearate and polyoxypropylene, polyoxyethylene ether of a long chain fatty alcohol; it may also contain a non-staining emollient system comprising a volatile silicone oil and/or dibutylphthalate.

Abstract: An antiperspirant composition of the suspension type comprising an anhydrous alcoholic vehicle having suspended therein one or more of the following astringent salt glycine complexes and a suspending agent: aluminum/zirconium/tetrachlorohydrate glycine complexes; aluminum/zirconium/trichlorohydrate glycine complexes; aluminum/zirconium/pentachlorohydrate glycine complexes; aluminum/zirconium/octachlorohydrate glycine complexes; and aluminum/sesquichlorohydrate glycine complexes. Composition may also contain a non-staining hydrophilic emollient and/or a non-polar emollient and/or a volatile emollient.

Abstract: Long chain aliphatic hydrocarbon ethoxylated alcohol benzoates having a small degree of ethoxylation and believed to be of the general formula: ##STR1## in which: (a) R is a long chain aliphatic hydrocarbon radical having from about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms and n is a number no greater than about 5.These are useful as vehicles in pharmaceutical, cosmetic or toiletry preparations.

Abstract: An antiperspirant stick composition in which the antiperspirant material is maintained substantially homogeneously distributed throughout the stick by virtue of the presence of certain waxy materials.

Abstract: Prepares a wax-based applicator stick by pouring a melt of said wax-based material into a dispenser container, allowing said material to cool to a semi-solid state, inserting a tubular probe into the center of said mass, withdrawing the same to form a cavity and then flaming the mass to eliminate the cavity so formed.
