  • Patent number: 8084409
    Abstract: A light-colored soap bar composition for at-home microdermabrasion comprising from approximately 8% to approximately 15% by weight of an abrasive comprising magnesium oxide, having a mean particle size diameter from approximately 120 to approximately 200 micrometers, and from approximately 0.5% to approximately 3.5% total dispersing agents by weight, which help to disperse the abrasives uniformly within the soap bar. The dispersing agents comprise oil and butter components which help to uniformly incorporate the abrasives into the soap bar composition without having to significantly alter the foamability and integrity of the soap bar.

  • Patent number: 6346297
    Abstract: A fragrance-containing coating composition for paper substrates consists essentially of a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastisol and one or more fragrances, for example, an insect repellant. The PVC plastisol contains an adhesion promoter when the paper substrate is a calendered and/or coated paper substrate. The coating is fused at about 320° F. for 15-30 seconds. The coated paper is stored in barrier bags.

  • Patent number: 5468473
    Abstract: An aqueous alcohol carrier solvent based antiperspirant composition which does not contain silicone products and which forms a thick lotion for use on the hands and feet. The composition includes a thickener--absorber mixture of hydroxylalkylcellulose, preferably hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, with colloidal silica and silicates and an antiperspirant active material, preferably chlorhydrol. A preferred embodiment includes the addition of Tea Tree Oil to the formulation. The antiperspirant composition reduces sweating on the hands and feet and is nonirritating, nontacky and mildly soothing to the skin.
