Abstract: The present invention relates to an anhydrous anti-perspirant (AP) composition that comprises conventional metal-based AP actives, natural oil, antioxidant and select non-ionic surfactant that ensures that when such compositions are used on a body part e.g., the axilla there is minimal or no yellow coloured staining of the fabric which is worn by an individual through several use-wash-rinse-dry cycles.

Abstract: The present invention is in the field of personal care compositions, in particular compositions comprising antiperspirant actives. The present invention more particularly relates to compositions containing zinc based actives, yet exhibit good efficacy. This is achieved through use of an active which is a complex of a zinc salt with a ? amino acid, in an anhydrous solvent comprising an alcohol, along with a multivalent metal salt.

Abstract: An illustrative resolution is generated using a computer for a reported operational issue while using a computer system. A learning model is developed using the computer to facilitate resolving an operational error of a computer system. The learning model can include generating an error report, based on tracking user inputs into a computer system and a plurality of state transitions of the computer system, respectively, when the operational error is not resolved by the user inputs. An error screenshot for each operational step associated with the user inputs is generated. A state transition is cross referenced to a corresponding operational step, and to a best practice in a user's manual, respectively. A deviation of an operational step from a best practice in the user's manual, respectively, is generated. An error screenshot is marked illustratively to show the deviation from the best practice in comparison to the operational step.

Abstract: The present invention is in the field of personal care compositions, in particular compositions comprising antiperspirant actives. The present invention more particularly relates to compositions which do not contain the conventional and well established aluminium based actives, yet exhibit similar efficacy. This is achieved through use of an active which is a complex of a zinc salt with a ? amino acid in an anhydrous carrier comprising a specific mixture of ethanol and a C2 to C4 glycol.

Abstract: The present invention relates to hair treatment compositions. In particular, the invention relates to hair treatment compositions that stimulate hair growth. Various compounds and combinations thereof have been reported for use in the treatment of hair to stimulate growth. Although the hair treatment compositions in the prior art provides for hair growth, there is unmet need for improved and superior compositions. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an improved and superior composition for stimulating hair growth. Disclosed is a hair treatment composition comprising (i) a polymorph of calcium carbonate; (ii) a water-soluble compound of calcium; and (iii) a suitable carrier. wherein said polymorph is at least one of calcite, vaterite or aragonite and wherein particle size of said polymorph is 1 ?m to 10 ?m.

Abstract: This invention relates to an antimicrobial composition more particularly a personal care or cleansing composition for care or cleansing of hair or body. It more particularly relates to combination of crystal habit modified zinc oxide with zinc pyrithione that interact to provide synergistic antimicrobial efficacy for anti-dandruff benefits.

Abstract: Disclosed is an antimicrobial composition comprising a polyvalent metal pyrithione and a complex of a polyvalent metal with pyridine amide. The composition may be used for personal cleansing and is especially preferred to be delivered as a shampoo or hair conditioner.

Abstract: Disclosed is an antimicrobial composition comprising zinc pyrithione and habit modified crystals of zinc oxide preferably comprising entrapped particles of water soluble protein. The protein may be selected from at least one of sericin, bovine serum albumin, gelatin, egg-albumin, casein, zein, whey or lysozyme. The composition may be used for personal cleansing and is especially preferred to be delivered as a shampoo or hair conditioner.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing an antimicrobial particulate composition. The invention also relates to personal care or hygiene composition comprising an antimicrobial particulate composition obtainable by the process in accordance with this invention. The invention more particularly relates to a process for preparing an antimicrobial metal nanoparticles immobilized in an inorganic porous material and also incorporating these particles in personal care or hygiene compositions. The antimicrobial particulate composition comprises 0.05% to 3% by weight of antimicrobial metal particles and 97 to 99.95% by weight of immobilizer comprising an inorganic porous material selected from zinc oxide, magnesium hydroxide or calcium carbonate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to surface modification of materials. In particular the invention relates to a process for surface modification of polymeric materials to make the surface non-stick in order to reduce the ability of materials to stick on it and thus provide an easy flow. The process comprises embossing the surface of an object with a pattern comprising micropillars having different shapes (circle, square, rectangular, polygonal prismatic) with an equivalent circular diameter, height and pitch in the range 10-200 microns; applying a layer of adhesive to get a coverage of 0.1 to 5 mg/cm on the embossed surface either by spray coating or dip coating; depositing 0.2 to 1.2 mg/cm of hydrophobic particles wherein the hydrophobic particles have a particle size in the range 0.1 to 10 microns.
