  • Composition comprising particulate zinc material with a high relative zinc lability
    Patent number: 9381148
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising an effective amount of a particulate zinc material, an effective amount of a surfactant including a surfactant with an anionic functional group wherein the particulate zinc material has a relative zinc lability of greater than about 15 % and wherein the composition comprises less than 5.5 micromoles of a zinc binding material per gram of the particulate zinc material/per m2/gram surface area of the particulate zinc material.
    Type: Grant

  • Composition comprising a particulate zinc material, a pyrithione or a polyvalent metal salt of a pyrithione and a gel network
    Patent number: 9381382
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising an effective amount of a particulate zinc material, an effective amount of a detersive surfactant including a surfactant with an anionic functional group, an effective amount of a pyrithione or a polyvalent metal salt of a pyrithione, a dispersed gel network phase comprising: i) at least about 0.05% of one or more fatty amphiphiles, by weight of said shampoo composition; ii) at least about 0.01% of one or more secondary surfactants, by weight of said shampoo composition; and iii) water; and at least about 20% of an aqueous carrier, by weight of said shampoo composition.

  • Compositions Containing Amine Oxide Surfactants or Soil Penetration Agents
    Publication number: 20090005281
    Abstract: The compositions of the present invention relate to improved shampoo compositions having from about 5 to about 50 wt. % of a detersive surfactant composition comprising at least one anionic surfactant, from about 0.1 to about 20 wt. % amine oxide, and from about 0.01 to about 5 wt. % cationic polymer, where the molar ratio of anionic surfactant to amine oxide is about 2:1 to about 40:1. The compositions of the present invention also relate to improved shampoo compositions having from about 5 to about 50 wt. % of a detersive surfactant composition, from about 0.1 to about 20 wt. % amine oxide, from about 0.01 to about 5 wt. % cationic polymer, and from about 0.1 to 10 wt. % soil penetration agent.
