Abstract:
A dispenser for dispensing a mixture of oral care materials. In one aspect, the invention can be a dispenser (400) comprising: a housing (410) having a first reservoir chamber (430) containing a first oral care material (431) and a second reservoir chamber (440) containing a second different oral care material (441); a mixing chamber (450) disposed in the housing, a mixing screw (470) disposed within the mixing chamber and having an actuator (471) for rotating the mixing screw; a first delivery port (434) for introducing the first oral care material into the mixing chamber and a second delivery port (444) for introducing the second oral care material into the mixing chamber; a dispensing nozzle (460) for dispensing a mixture of the first and second oral care materials; and wherein rotation of the mixing screw draws the first and second oral care materials into the mixing chamber and expels the mixture of the first and second oral care materials from the nozzle.
Abstract:
A composition comprising 4-oxovaleric acid present in an amount of 0.05 to 1% by weight (as supplied) of the composition and leuconostoc/radish root ferment filtrate present at 0.2 to 2% by weight (as supplied) of the composition.
Abstract:
Provided herein is an aqueous composition comprising an active antiperspirant ingredient and disodium EDTA, wherein the active antiperspirant ingredient is present in an amount of 0.2 weight % to 3 weight % by total weight of the composition on an anhydrous basis, wherein the active antiperspirant ingredient comprises an aluminum salt, and wherein the pH of the composition is from 2 to 5. The composition may be used as an antiperspirant when applied to the axillary area of a person.
Abstract:
An oral care system including a toothbrush and a dispenser that is detachably coupled thereto. In one aspect, the invention can be an oral care system comprising: a toothbrush comprising a handle, a head and a plurality of tooth cleaning elements extending from the head; and a dispenser detachably coupled to the toothbrush, the dispenser comprising a housing, a first reservoir chamber disposed in the housing containing a first oral care material, and a second reservoir chamber disposed in the housing containing a second oral care material, the second oral care material different than the first oral care material.
Abstract:
An oral care system including an elongated member having tooth cleaning elements and a store of oral care material. In one aspect, the invention can be a toothbrush comprising a handle; a through-slot extending through the handle; an elongated member rotatably coupled to the housing for rotation about a rotational axis, the elongated member comprising: a toothbrush head located on a first side of the rotational axis; and a dispenser comprising a store of oral care material located on a second side of the rotational axis; a plurality of tooth cleaning elements extending from the toothbrush head; the elongated member rotatable about the rotational axis between: (1) a first state in which the toothbrush head protrudes from the handle while the dispenser is nested within the through-slot; and (2) a second state in which the dispenser protrudes from the housing while the toothbrush head is nested within the through-slot.
Abstract:
A personal care composition and methods for determining a stability of the personal care composition are disclosed. The personal care composition may include an emulsion of a hydrophobic phase and a hydrophilic phase. The hydrophobic phase may include an emulsifying system including one or more amino acid surfactants, such as a glutamate surfactant.
Abstract:
Personal care compositions and methods for preparing the same are disclosed. The personal care composition may include an emulsifying system, one or more emollients, and one or more humectants. The method for preparing the personal care composition may include contacting the emulsifying system, the one or more emollients, and the one or more humectants with one another.
Abstract:
Antiperspirant and/or deodorant compositions and methods for the same are provided. The compositions may include an antiperspirant active or a deodorant active, water, and a preservative system. The antiperspirant active may include aluminum, and the preservative system may include a biodegradable amino carboxylate. The methods may include substituting or replacing a conventional chelant, such as EDTA, with a biodegradable chelant, such as HIDS. The methods may also include applying one of the compositions to an axillary area of a person.
Abstract:
A dispenser (800) for dispensing oral care materials comprising: a housing (810) having a separator wall (805) forming a first reservoir chamber (830) containing a first oral care material (831) and a second reservoir chamber (840) containing a second oral care material (841) within the housing (810); a first nozzle (860) for dispensing the first oral care material (831) from the first reservoir chamber (830) and a second nozzle (865) for dispensing the second oral care material (841) from the second reservoir chamber (840), the first and second nozzles (860, 865) located on opposite ends of the dispenser (800); and wherein the first reservoir chamber (830) circumferentially surrounds the second reservoir chamber (840) about a longitudinal axis of the dispenser (800).
Abstract:
A composition comprising 4-oxovaleric acid present in an amount of 0.05 to 1% by weight (as supplied) of the composition and leuconostoc/radish root ferment filtrate present at 0.2 to 2% by weight (as supplied) of the composition.
