Abstract: The pyrethroid insecticide, 3-phenoxybenzyl 3-(.beta.,.beta.-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate, is a potent repellent for a variety of insect pests, including acarids. This pyrethroid provides long-lasting protection when incorporated as the active component in repellent compositions and applied to areas from which it is desired to exclude such insect pests. The repellency extends to a broad range of species, including cockroaches, true bugs, flies, mites, aphids, and beetles, as well as mature and immature moths and butterflies.

Abstract: An insect repellent containing perfume which includes citral, citronella oil, and diethyltoluamide.

Abstract: There is disclosed an improved method for topically administering a physiologically active agent to a human or animal by dissolving an effective amount of the agent in a carrier containing suitable amounts of 1-alkyl substituted-azacyclopentan-2-one, as defined herein, and contacting the skin or other membranes of the human or animal with the resulting composition, whereby penetration of the skin or membranes is enhanced.

Abstract: An emulsion consisting essentially of alcohol, pine tar, and mineral oil wherein pine tar and alcohol are mixed before adding the mineral oil so that the composition is essentially an emulsion.

Abstract: Inspect repellents containing as active compound a composition of a halobenzoylpropionate and N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide.

Abstract: Alkyl-substituted 2-benzylphenols are disclosed to be useful for repelling the confused flour beetle (Tribolium confusum).

Abstract: An aerosol package containing a foam-forming, oil-in-water emulsion and a propellant system consisting essentially of nitrous oxide and a liquefied, normally gaseous hydrocarbon or halogenated hydrocarbon is described. The emulsion upon being dispensed is a unique, rich, shiny, creamy foam having good foam density and stiffness characteristics.

Abstract: Compositions comprising an effective amount of an active ingredient such as a medicinal agent, disinfectant, pesticide, insect repellant, or a cosmetic agent such as an antiperspirant, a bath oil, a fragrance, sunscreen, soap, hair dye, tanning agent, etc., in a carrier comprising a polymer comprising a monomer having hydrophilic functional groups such as hydroxyl, carboxyl, or amino groups and containing aluminum, zinc, or zirconium bound in complex form.
