Patent number: 6361765Abstract: Antiperspirant compositions herein comprise an antiperspirant active, together with a carrier and a structurant for the carrier which comprises an organic wax having a melting point of from 40 to 90° C. of which at least 60% of the weight of the wax is provided by at least one aliphatic ester satisfying the formula: CH3—(CH2)n—CO—(CH2)m—CH3 in which n is from 9 to 39 and m is from 0 to 35 to form a solid or a soft solid. The compositions can be anhydrous, in the form of a suspension of antiperspirant active, or can comprise aqueous emulsions. The formulations structured by the selected waxes provide lower visible deposits on topical application compared with conventional wax-structured formulations and the waxes are effective at structuring/thickening at a proportion below that in conventional wax-structured formulations.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2000Date of Patent: March 26, 2002Assignee: Unilever Home & Personal Care USA, division of Conopco, Inc.Inventors: Bruce Steven Emslie, Laura Dimitrova Stoimenof, Graham Andrew Turner

Patent number: 6361760Abstract: The use of a medium-chain fatty acid triglyceride as the dispersant in the preparation of a medicinal aerosol composition comprising tricyclic compound (I) dispersed in a liquefied hydrofluoroalkane propellant is described. When a liquefied hydrofluoroalkane is added to a kneaded premix of the tricyclic compound (I) and a medium-chain fatty acid triglyceride, the active ingredient is evenly dispersed in the liquefied hydrofluoroalkane. Therefore, by distributing a dispenser first with the kneaded premix and, then, with a liquefied hydrofluoroalkane under cooling or elevated pressure, there can be provided a medicinal aerosol composition having an improved uniformity of content of the active ingredient.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 1998Date of Patent: March 26, 2002Assignee: Fujisawa Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.Inventors: Saburo Murata, Fumio Shiomojo, Yuji Tokunaga, Takehisa Hata

Patent number: 6338840Abstract: In a first aspect, a process for forming deodorant or antiperspirant sticks by continuously forming a mobile composition for dispensing into containers or molds at a rate matched with the rate at which it is dispensed, and in other aspects a process in which a mobile deodorant or antiperspirant composition is dispensed by injection molding, i.e. a process in which the deodorant or antiperspirant composition is dispensed under pressure. The composition at the time of injection moulding is preferably either in the vicinity of its regular set temperature, particularly in the range of about 0-3° C. below the regular set temperature and/or partially structured at the time of its delivery it into a container or mold.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 1999Date of Patent: January 15, 2002Assignee: Unilever Home & Personal Care USA, division of Conopco, Inc.Inventors: Peter Stewart Allan, Elaine Susanne Bibby, Michael Andrew Browne, Elfriede Maria Langeveld, Paul Lloyd, Reginald Manley, Robert J Owen, Paul Riessen Rennie, Jean Lesley Scott, Frederick Edmund Stocker, Karnik Tarverdi, Jacqueline Maria Thorpe
