Patent number: 6506394Abstract: The present invention relates to a combination for surface treatment of a substrate, e.g. a nonwoven web, used in personal care product applications. The surface treatment combination not only provides adequate fluid handling properties, but also provides a topical delivery system effective in depositing a thin, tenacious and substantially continuous coating of a botanical extract on skin by an aqueous emulsion mediated dissolution of the agent from a substrate with subsequent transfer and deposition onto the skin. Coatings of the botanical extract on the skin resist removal, thereby preventing damage to the natural skin barrier and providing a protective barrier against chemically- and biochemically-induced skin damage.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2000Date of Patent: January 14, 2003Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Ali Yahiaoui, Dennis Stein Everhart, Wade Bolton May

Patent number: 6503525Abstract: An absorbent article includes a vapor permeable backsheet, a liquid permeable topsheet positioned in facing relation with the backsheet; and an absorbent body located between the backsheet and the topsheet. The absorbent body may include multiple zones of high air permeability. The absorbent article may also include a ventilation layer between the absorbent body and the backsheet and a surge management layer between the absorbent body and the topsheet. The article exhibits improved air exchange within the article during use. As a result, the article maintains the temperature and exhibits substantially reduced levels of hydration of the wearer's skin when in use which renders the skin less susceptible to the viability of microorganisms. The absorbent article may further include lotion formulations and/or treatment compositions thereon for maintaining or improving skin health.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2000Date of Patent: January 7, 2003Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Susan Carol Paul, Frank Jerrel Akin, Robert Cosmo Di Luccio, Dennis Stein Everhart, Elizabeth Deibler Gadsby, Pamela Jean Mayberry, Audra Stefanik Wright, Ali Yahiaoui, Michael John Faulks, Duane Gerard Krzysik, Karen Marie Menard, David Charles Musil, Frank Andrew Rosch, III, Gordon Allen Shaw, David John Tyrrell, Diane Michele Underhill, Jeffrey Michael Hockersmith, Gunilla Elsa Gillberg-LaForce, Wade Bolton May

Patent number: 6497893Abstract: The present invention relates to a topical delivery system effective in depositing a thin, tenacious and substantially continuous coating of a silk protein on skin by an aqueous emulsion mediated dissolution of protein from a substrate with subsequent transfer and deposition onto the skin. Coatings of silk protein on skin resist removal, thereby providing a protective barrier against chemically- and biochemically-induced skin damage. The treatment composition also provides a vehicle for administering an effective dose of an active agent to the skin surface.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 1999Date of Patent: December 24, 2002Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Dennis Stein Everhart, Robert Cosmo Di Luccio, Ali Yahiaoui, Wade Bolton May, David John Tyrrell, Elizabeth Deibler Gadsby, Gunilla Elsa Gillberg-LaForce
