Patent number: 5925338Abstract: The present invention is directed to a clear antiperspirant or deodorant gel composition which exhibits reduced staining while retaining excellent aethetic attributes and efficacy. The gel composition is a water-in-oil emulsion having a viscosity of about 50,000 to 250,000 cP, preferably about 100,000 to 200,000 cP. The water phase comprises about 75 to 90% of the composition and contains a deodorant or antiperspirant effective amount (e.g. about 3 to 25%) of an antiperspirant active dissolved therein. The oil phase comprises about 10 to 25% of the composition and contains a silicone oil and a polyether substituted silicone emulsifying agent. The silicone oil comprises a mixture of a non-volatile silicone, preferably a non-volatile linear silicone, and a volatile linear silicone. It has been found that reducing the amount of non-volatile silicone in the known gel composition to a relatively low level (e.g. below about 5%) and adding an amount of volatile linear silicone to the composition (e.g.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 1997Date of Patent: July 20, 1999Assignee: The Gillette CompanyInventors: Nancy M.

Patent number: 5919398Abstract: An oil-water mixed composition is consisted of a solid or semisolid oil phase at room temperature, and a water phase which is dispersed into the oil phase. The water phase contains a humectant and is solid or semisolid at room temperature. Preferably, the oil phase contains hydrophobic silica, dextrin fatty acid ester or polyvalent alcohol oligo ester of long chain monocarboxylic acid and long chain dicarboxylic acid. The oil-water mixed composition is superior in stability with passage of time and safety. In addition, this composition has demonstrated little stickiness and sensation of unsuitability for skin, and has much emollient effect (i.e., to prevent the skin from dryness) and is persistent in preserving its emollient effect.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 1997Date of Patent: July 6, 1999Assignee: Shiseido Co., Ltd.Inventors: Fumiaki Nakamura, Koji Abe, Kenzo Ito

Patent number: 5919441Abstract: An invention is disclosed which comprises gelling agents which (1) contain both siloxane groups and hydrogen-bonding groups to thicken compositions containing silicone fluids (volatile and/or non-volatile silicone fluids); (2) are non-flowable solids at room temperature; and (3) dissolve in a fluid which contains silicone at a temperature of 25-250 degrees C to form a translucent or clear solution at a temperature in this range. Cosmetic compositions may be made by adding at least one active ingredient such as an antiperspirant.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 1997Date of Patent: July 6, 1999Assignee: Colgate-Palmolive CompanyInventors: Michael S.

Patent number: 5916568Abstract: A flash-dry disinfectant composition for use as a hand wash is described. The composition consists of a C.sub.2 -C.sub.5 alcohol, a hydrogen peroxide solution and a bacteriostatic skin emollient. The C.sub.2 -C.sub.5 alcohol is preferably isopropanol. The composition contains at least about 15% to about 35% by weight of hydrogen peroxide solution in order to ensure a bacteriacidal effect with short term exposure to the composition. The composition has broad application in the food and health care industries. The advantage is a flash-dry disinfectant which may be used in place of lengthy scrub procedures effectively destroying bacteria without known risk of evolutionary resistance and which requires no towels or associated paraphernalia.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 1998Date of Patent: June 29, 1999Inventors: Teresa A. Smyth, Dennis R. Lambert

Patent number: RE38141Abstract: The present invention are dry-feel emollient compositions comprising jojoba oil based esters that have use in personal care, cosmetic, cosmaceutical and pharmaceutical products. These compositions are essentially solid at room temperature, can be provided in various shapes and sizes (especially as particulates such as spheres), and can be produced from combinations of fatty alcohols, isopropyl esters and wax esters obtained from the oil contained in the seed of the jojoba plant. These new compositions also increase the range of applications for cosmetic compositions through an emollient that is more polar and hydrophilic than is found in jojoba oils. The compositions of the present invention may be obtained by a novel process of a base catalyzed alcoholysis reaction between jojoba oil and an alcohol, such as isopropyl alcohol.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2001Date of Patent: June 10, 2003Assignee: International Flora Technologies Ltd.Inventor: James H.
