Abstract:
An appliance, such as a sleeve, sock, glove, or patch, that comprises a liquid- permeable substrate and a substantially dry and/or immobile composition (i.e., the formulation is substantially free of water so that the formulation is a solid or semi-solid formulation at temperatures typifying transport, storage, and/or use conditions), effectively and comfortably treats the skin or tissue of a user. Humectants, materials of an occlusive nature, and numerous other ingredients may be included in the formulation. The appliance can comprise elastomeric materials that facilitate contact between the appliance and skin.
Abstract:
In a dispensing system (101) and process for dispensing a warm wet wipe, a wipe has an aqueous solution and microencapsulated delivery vehicles including a temperature change agent capable of generating a temperature change upon contact with the aqueous solution. An activating device (131) facilitates rupturing of the microencapsulated delivery vehicles as the wet wipe (107) is removed from a wet wipe container to allow contact between the temperature change agent and the aqueous solution of the wet wipe (107) to thereby dispense a warm wet wipe. In another embodiment the wet wipe in the container has an aqueous solution. A lotion having the microencapsulated delivery vehicles is disposed in a lotion container (111) free from contact with the wet wipe (107). An applicator in communication with the lotion is operable to apply the lotion to the wet wipe while the wet wipe is disposed at least in part within the wet wipe container.
Abstract:
Microencapsulated delivery vehicles comprising an active agent are disclosed. In one embodiment, the microencapsulated delivery vehicles are heat delivery vehicles capable of generating heat upon activation. The microencapsulated heat delivery vehicles may be introduced into wet wipes such that, upon activation, the wet wipe solution is warmed resulting in a warm sensation on a user's skin. Any number of other active ingredients, such as cooling agents and biocides, can also be incorporated into a microencapsulated delivery vehicle.
Abstract:
An article for use in contact with a tissue layer of a person and capable of holding its position with respect to the contacted tissue layer while reducing the opportunity for damage to the tissue layer comprises a support structure and a contact layer associated with the support structure. The contact layer has an engagement surface adapted to contact the user's tissue layer. The contact layer is constructed so that the engagement surface has a first state adapted to inhibit movement of the article with respect to the tissue layer of the user, and a second state adapted to enhance movement of the article with respect to the tissue layer of the user. The engagement surface is adapted to transform from the first state to the second state upon application of a force greater than a threshold force.
Abstract:
The present invention is generally directed to tissue products comprising a moisturizing and lubricating composition. The moisturizing and lubricating composition comprises an emollient, a humectant, and immobilizing agent and a compatibilizing agent. Optionally, the moisturizing and lubricating compositions can comprise a dispersing agent, or other components.

Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to compositions for reducing inflammation, and more particularly, to compositions comprising oleocanthal. The oleocanthal- containing compositions are particularly suitable for transdermal delivery. The compositions may also be used in combination with personal care products, such as wipes and absorbent articles, and may be incorporated into transdermal patches.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to wet wipe dispensing systems (101) for dispensing wet wipes (107) capable of changing temperature upon use. The dispensing system (101) includes a wet wipe container (103) and a lotion container (131) that is held in assembly with the wet wipe container (103) that contains a lotion that is kept separate from the wet wipes (107) until the wet wipe (107) is dispensed from the wet wipe container (103). The lotion includes a temperature change agent that is capable of generating a temperature change upon contact with an aqueous solution. Once the wet wipe (107) is dispensed from the system, an supplicating device can apply the lotion to the wet wipe (107) to facilitate contact between the temperature change
