Abstract: Antiperspirant application devices including antiperspirant compositions and methods of using the antiperspirant application devices are provided herein. In an embodiment, an antiperspirant application device includes a skin-adhesive, transdermal patch including an adhesive compound capable of adhesion to human skin and an antiperspirant active compound based upon an astringent metallic salt disposed within at least a portion of the skin-adhesive, transdermal patch.

Abstract: A mixed powder antiperspirant and methods for producing and using such mixed powder antiperspirants are provided. The method includes mixing an active ingredient, a film former, and a diluent to form the mixed powder antiperspirant. The use of a coating agent is limited to no more than about 10 weight percent based on the total weight of the mixed powder antiperspirant, where a coating agent is (i) any non-water soluble wax, oil, fat, or fatty alcohol with a straight chain alkane or alkene group of 10 or more carbon atoms, (ii) polyethylene, or (iii) cyclomethicone.

Abstract: Materials and apparatus are provided for controlling a release of a cleaning agent with silica particles. Silica particles are disposed within a premix of a solid material and are configured to at least partially dissolve in an alkaline environment. Further, an active cleaning agent sorbed by the silica particles is configured to be released from the silica particles upon partial dissolution of the silica particles.

Abstract: An actuator useful for applying an aerosolized hair care product close to or onto the scalp includes an elongated tubular member with proximal end configured to sealingly fit to a male or female valve aerosol valve and a distal end terminating in a distributor head comprising internal channels and at least two exit orifices for distributing the aerosolized product in a vertical, angled or entirely lateral direction to evenly reach the portions of the hair closest to the scalp or the scalp directly.

Abstract: An aerated hair styling gel delivery system comprises a hair styling gel with entrained air stably packaged in and delivered from a bag-on-valve dispensing package. The hair gel remains lighter in density than hair styling gels packaged in conventional plastic cosmetic tubes or tubs.

Abstract: The present invention is a solid translucent deodorant stick that exhibits remarkable efficacy against gram positive bacteria. Maintenance of translucency in spite of a high level of antimicrobial is possible through use of solubilized 3,4,4?-trichlorocarbanilide. The solubilized TCC is formed as a premix which is then added to the some or all of the remaining ingredients comprising a stearate-gelled glycol solvent stick.

Abstract: A soap bar composition includes a soap mixture, a polyalkylene glycol, at least one of glycerin and sorbitol, water; and optionally, free fatty acid. The soap bar composition exhibits translucent properties.
