  • Patent number: 11052556
    Abstract: A liquid dispensing razor including a reservoir containing a shave care composition. The shave care composition comprises water; one or more lipophilic skin conditioning agents; one or more thickening agents including electrolyte sensitive polymers; one or more emulsifying agents; and one or more lubricants. The shave care composition is delivered to the skin by the razor to provide skin comfort and moisturization benefits during the shave. The combination of the chemistry in the razor results in step change in skin condition in consumer and technical skin moisturization benefits.

  • Publication number: 20080057016
    Abstract: Disclosed are aqueous conditioning shampoo compositions which comprise an anionic detersive surfactant component; from about 0.025% to about 5% by weight of an water soluble or dispersible, cationic, non crosslinked, deposition or conditioning polymer; the conditioning shampoo may additionally comprise dispersed, liquid, droplets of a water insoluble, hair conditioning agent having a volume average particle diameter of from about 5 microns to about 125 microns. A homopolymer has a cationic charge density from about from about 2 meq/gm to about 4 meq/gm or a cationic charge density of from about 5 meq/gm to about 10 meq/gm; or an average molecular weight of at least 500,000. A 10 copolymer is formed from one or more cationic monomer units and one or more nonionic monomer units or monomer units bearing a negative charge wherein the subsequent charge of the copolymer is positive.

  • Publication number: 20080031842
    Abstract: The present invention is a lathering cleansing composition comprising an alkyl ethoxylated polymer, at least one lathering surfactant, an acrylate cross linked copolymer and a particulate material and a lathering surfactant. These compositions provide good lathering and are readily rinsed. The particulate materials enhance cleansing and exfoliation or provide conditioning befits without damage and, or irritation.

  • Publication number: 20060251606
    Abstract: Methods of cleansing skin comprise the steps of contacting the skin with a cleansing compositions comprising a fatty ester in combination with a lipid, and either rinsing the composition from the skin with water or wiping the composition from the skin with a dry or damp substrate. The cleansing compositions can comprise at least 8%, by weight of the composition, of fatty ester and/or further comprise a nonionic surfactant and less than about 50%, by weight of the composition, of an alcohol solvent such as ethanol, isopropanol, or mixtures thereof. The methods and compositions provide skin cleansing and hydration benefits.

  • Publication number: 20060165741
    Abstract: Stable skin care compositions comprising dehydroacetic acid and a dermatologically acceptable carrier. The dermatologically acceptable carrier comprises at least one oil, said oil having a solubility in water of about 5% or less and a solubility parameter of from about 7 to about 15, and the dehydroacetic acid is distributed primarily into said oil. The compositions have a pH of about 4.5 and below.
