Patent number: 5508024Abstract: A topical antiperspirant composition or preparation consisting essentially of an effective antiperspirant amount of a non-toxic water-insoluble occlusive film-forming polymer, and a method of reducing perspiration by applying such a composition to the skin of a subject in the area in which it is desired to reduce perspiration, is disclosed. A preferred polymer is an alkyl olefinic acid amide/olefinic acid or ester copolymer, e.g., octylacryl amide or propenamide/acrylates copolymer, alone or in combination with a PVP-linear alpha-olefin copolymer, especially a PVP/Eicosene copolymer or other water-repellant polymer. Normally-employed mineral salts, such as aluminum and zirconium chlorohydrate, may be included in the composition but, since not essential, may be employed in reduced amounts, if present.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 1993Date of Patent: April 16, 1996Assignee: International Research and Development Corp.Inventor: Frank Tranner

Patent number: 5498407Abstract: Hydrogels are polymers that swell in water and are hydrophilic. The degree and nature of cross linking and the crystallinity of the polymer are responsible for its properties in the swollen state, and the degree to which it imbibes water without the loss of shape is important in many natural hydrogel. Some natural hydrogels are used in the textile industry, pulp and paper production, artificial silk, cellulosic membranes, and biomedical applications. Synthetic hydrogels are used in soft lenses, prosthetic materials and membranes for controlled drug delivery.Poly-HEMA (poly 2 hydroxylthyl methacrylate) is the most widely used hydrogel. The properties of poly HEMA can be modified by cross linking to a certain degree but its hydrophilicity can be increased by the introduction of a second hydroxyl using various monomers. Also its strength will also improve by the addition of a comonomer.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 1994Date of Patent: March 12, 1996Inventor: Sheldon M. Atlas

Patent number: 5496861Abstract: Emulsion-containing cosmetic compositions, wherein the emulsion comprises an aqueous dispersion of 15 to 40% solids, by weight, of an enzymatically degraded starch, which starch has been debranched by treatment with an alpha-1,6-D-glucanohydrolase to yield up to 100%, by weight, short chain amylose, are provided herein. Also provided are oil-free cosmetic compositions and cosmetic stick compositions, comprising 1 to 16% enzymatically debranched starch; 2 to 35% water; 35 to 90% hydrophobic base, selected from the group consisting of oil, wax and fat, and 5 to 20% emulsifier(s), with the balance of the compositions comprising one or more adjuncts selected from dye(s), fragrance(s), flavor(s), sunscreen agent(s), opacifier(s), and filler(s). Also provided is a method for formulating a cosmetic stick composition.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 1994Date of Patent: March 5, 1996Assignee: National Starch and Chemical Investment Holding CorporationInventors: William Rouse, 3, Maria Valles, Gary T.
