Abstract: This invention provides deodorant and deodorant-antiperspirant cosmetic stick and roll-on products with an organic matrix having a dispersed phase of discrete particles of an encapsulated bicarbonate salt such as sodium bicarbonate, and discrete particles of an encapsulated fragrance compound such as musk ketone. The particle surfaces are coated with a polymer such as maltodextrin starch. When this type of cosmetic product is applied to underarm surfaces, the deodorizing activity is signaled by the release of a fragrance aroma.

Abstract: This invention provides a deodorant-antiperspirant composition in a dispensing container pressurized with an aerosol propellant. The primary ingredients of a typical product are particulate sodium bicarbonate, particulate antiperspirant astringent salt, volatile silicone oil, carboxylate ester emollient, and a suspending agent such as hydrophobic hectorite clay. An invention aerosol deodorant-antiperspirant product has a stable particulate sodium bicarbonate and astringent salt suspension phase. The odor and wetness reduction properties of the product during underarm application are enhanced by the micronized form of the astringent salt ingredient, and by the controlled ratio of volatile oil to emollient in the product.

Abstract: The present invention is a transparent deodorant cosmetic stick product with at least 3.5% by weight of the formulation being an alkali metal bicarbonate. The product contains about 1.25% to about 6.5% of a polyamine as a mandatory clarifying component. Other required components of the formulation are a polyhydric alcohol, a C.sub.14-22 fatty acid salt, of a clarifier surfactant, and less than about 42% by weight water. Optional ingredients include antibacterial or bacteriostatic agents, a silicone copolyol, zinc pyridinethiol oxide, fragrance and color.

Abstract: This invention provides a fluid detergent formulation which is particularly suitable for application as a personal cleanser for bath or shower usage. An invention fluid cleanser composition is an aqueous formulation which can be utilized as a mild body shampoo with skin cleansing and skin conditioning benefits. An important feature of an invention fluid cleanser composition is a stable suspension phase of particulate alkali metal bicarbonate which functions as a buffering agent, and which provides deodorizing, exfoliating and water-softening benefits for skin conditioning.

Abstract: This invention provides a deodorant cosmetic stick product which has a translucent or transparent light transmitting appearance. The cosmetic stick has a content of ingredients such as sodium bicarbonate, propylene glycol, sodium stearate, dimethicone copolyol, Pentadoxynol-200, and water. An invention deodorant cosmetic stick has excellent esthetics when applied underarm, such as smoothness and a comfortable dry feel, and without a visually perceptible residue.

Abstract: This invention provides a deodorant cosmetic stick product which has a translucent or transparent light transmitting appearance.

Abstract: This invention provides cosmetic stick, roll-on and cream deodorant and deodorant-antiperspirant products. The cosmetic products consisting of an organic matrix having a dispersed phase of encapsulated particles of a co-micronized crystallite blend of inorganic compounds such as sodium bicarbonate and zinc oxide. The particle surfaces are coated with a polymer such as maltodextrin starch. When this type of cosmetic product is applied to underarm surfaces, a sustained deodorant activity by the encapsulated particles is obtained.

Abstract: This invention provides cosmetic deodorant stick, roll-on and cream formulations. An invention deodorant product comprises an organic matrix having a dispersed solids phase which includes discrete crystallites of bicarbonate salt ingredient and particulate boron oxide desiccant ingredient. When an invention deodorant product is applied to a skin surface, the boron oxide reacts with moisture, and converts to boric acid which neutralizes any content of a strong basic irritant such as alkali metal carbonate which is present as an impurity in an alkali metal bicarbonate salt.

Abstract: This invention provides deodorant and antiperspirant-deodorant cosmetic stick and roll-on products with an organic matrix having a dispersed particle phase of an encapsulated bicarbonate salt ingredient such as sodium bicarbonate. The particle surfaces are coated with a film-forming medium comprising a blend of a polymer and a fragrance ingredient. When this type of cosmetic product is applied to underarm surfaces, the deodorizing activity is signaled by the release of a fragrance aroma.

Abstract: This invention provides a single-phase aqueous solution of a zinc-polyamine complex which is stable and has a clear transparency. The aqueous solution can be incorporated as a component of an oral care product such as a mouthwash or toothpaste. The zinc-polyamine complex enhances the control of oral malodor, plaque, calculus and gingivitis in dental applications, and decreases the astringency and metallic taste which is characteristic of zinc ions in an oral cavity.

Abstract: This invention provides an encapsulated co-micronized bicarbonate salt powder composition which is a blend of crystalline ingredients having a particle size between about 0.1-30 microns. The composition is produced by mill co-micronization of a crystalline bicarbonate ingredient and a crystalline inorganic compound ingredient having a Mohs hardness value between about 3-7, and then surface coating the particles with a polymer. A blend of crystalline particles such as sodium bicarbonate and zinc oxide is free-flowing and essentially free of agglomerated solids after co-micronization, and the discrete crystalline particles are coated with a polymer to form a present invention encapsulated co-micronized bicarbonate salt powder composition.
