Abstract: A product and method for treating skin with a heated lotion is herein described. The product is a package with associated instructions for applying a heated cosmetic composition to skin dispensed from a heating device. The cosmetic composition includes an inorganic structurant material such as a clay which functions to retain viscosity over a wide temperature range and even under shear allows clean cut-off of product at a nozzle of the heating device.

Abstract: The invention relates to wet skin treatment compositions having specific gum and acrylate dispersion stabilizer systems providing enhanced rheology (e.g., lotion-like rheology and spreadability) relative to other wet skin compositions.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition is provided which includes a high level of glycerin, a chemically modified starch which is preferably a hydroxypropyl di-starch phosphate or an acetylated di-starch adipate, and a crystalline gel structurant comprising a surfactant and co-surfactant, the structurant having an enthalpy ranging from about 2 to about 15 Joule per gram. The composition has a silky sensory feel and exhibits a positive normal force, preferably ranging from about +0.5 to about +5 grams. The glycerin to chemically modified starch is present in a weight ratio ranging from about 100:1 to about 2:1. Advantageously, the composition has a SkiCon Value ranging from about 10 to about 80.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition is provided which includes a high level of glycerin, a copolymer which is preferably a C10-C18 acrylates crosspolymer, and a crystalline gel structurant comprising a surfactant and co-surfactant, the structurant having an enthalpy ranging from about 2 to about 15 Joule per gram, wherein the composition has a normal force of from about +5 to about +50 grams thereby achieving a silky sensory feel on skin, the glycerin to copolymer being present in a weight ratio ranging from about 350:1 to about 10:1. Advantageously, the composition has a SkiCon Value ranging from about 10 to about 80.

Abstract: A dental product is provided packaged in a telescopically arranged multi-cavity dispensing container having at least two cylinders in an upper body thereof. Peroxide and baking soda are placed as active ingredients in separate respective semi-solid streams, each stream being in separate ones of the cylinders. Uniform dispensing of each stream to deliver relatively equivalent ribbon length of each stream by incorporating a synthetic linear anionic polycarboxylate to adjust viscosity. Preferred polycarboxylates are homopolymers of acrylic, methacrylic and maleic acids, most especially a copolymer of vinyl methyl ether and maleic acid or anhydride.
