Abstract:
An oral care implement with product application is disclosed. In one embodiment, the implement is a fluid dispensing toothbrush having a body comprised of a handle, a head, and an internal cavity containing an oral care material. The head includes tooth cleaning elements and an applicator in fluid communication with the internal cavity. In one embodiment, the applicator includes at least one spring-actuated valve operable to dispense the fluidic oral care material upon engagement with a user's oral tissue. The oral care material is delivered from the internal cavity upon applying a pressing force to a moveable sealing element of the valve. In certain embodiments, a pressurizer may be provided to pressurize the oral care material for positive dispensing. In one embodiment, the applicator is disposed in a soft tissue cleaner on the toothbrush head.
Abstract:
A composition comprising (a) an esterquat that is a quaternized reaction product of an alkanol amine and a fatty acid, wherein from at least 90 wt % to up to 100 wt % of the esterquat is comprised of triesterquat and from 0 wt % to up to 10 wt % of the esterquat is comprised of at least one of monoesterquat and diesterquat, and (b) a water swellable cationic polymer. The water swellable cationic polymer aids in dispersion and/or in deposition of the triesterquat. Also, a method of producing such a composition and a method of softening a fabric, and increasing fragrance delivery, comprising treating the fabric with the composition.
Abstract:
Provided is a personal cleansing composition for application to the skin which comprises a zinc X halide present in an amount to provide at least 0.36 weight % of the composition of zinc, and a surfactant, wherein X is an amino acid or trimethylglycine. Methods of making and using the compositions are also provided. The zinc X halide is can be used to deliver zinc salts to reduce or prevent sunburn, kill bacteria, or reduce perspiration.
Abstract:
An oral care implement having a grip component. In one embodiment, the invention can be an oral care implement comprising: an elongated body comprising a head portion and a handle portion, the handle portion comprising a socket; at least one tooth cleaning element mounted to the head portion of the elongated body; and a first grip component comprising: an annular rim defining a central opening, the annular rim formed of a rigid material; and a resilient body mounted to the annular rim that covers the central opening, the resilient body formed of a resilient material; the first grip component mounted within the socket.

Abstract:
Described herein are liquid cleansing compositions having a reduced slippery skin feel comprising a) surfactants comprising (i) an alkali metal or ammonium alkyl ether sulfate, (ii) a betaine surfactant and (iii) a fatty acid amide; and b) polyethylene glycol.
Abstract:
An oral care implement having a grip component. In one embodiment, the invention can be an oral care implement comprising: an elongated body extending along a longitudinal axis and comprising a head portion and a handle portion; a socket formed in an outer surface of the handle portion, the socket comprising a floor and an open top end; at least one tooth cleaning elements mounted to the head portion of the elongated body; at least one protuberance extending upwardly from the floor of the socket; and a grip component comprising a resilient body formed of a resilient material mounted to the handle portion of the elongated body so as to enclose the open top end of the socket, an inner surface of the resilient body separated from the floor of the socket by a free volume of space.
Abstract:
Disclosed are oral care compositions comprising an orally acceptable vehicle, a basic amino acid in free or salt form, particles of precipitated calcium carbonate, a source of zinc ions, and a surfactant system selected from at least one of a poloxamer nonionic surfactant and a betaine zwitterionic surfactant or a mixture thereof.
