Abstract:
A liquid surfactant composition includes at least one anionic surfactant and at least one cationic surfactant. The combination of surfactants is formulated to provide a liquid composition that swells in the presence of water or body fluids, becomes a moldable solid in the presence of an excess of water, and adheres to surfaces. In addition, the liquid surfactant composition may be incorporated into or onto a substrate, such as an absorbent substrate, a fabric or cloth substrate, a tissue substrate, or a protective garment substrate.
Abstract:
Wiping products, such as facial tissues, contain a temperature change composition that can provide a cooling sensation when contacted with the skin of a user. The temperature change composition is structured emulsion that may include a phase change material, a carrier, a surfactant, and a crystalline initiator. The phase change materials, in one embodiment, can have a relatively high heat of fusion. When undergoing a phase change, the temperature change composition absorbs heat and thereby provides a cooling feeling or cooling sensation to the skin of a user.
Abstract:
Wiping products, such as facial tissues, contain an interior temperature change composition and an exterior hydrophilic lotion composition that can provide a cooling sensation when contacted with the skin of a user. The temperature change composition, for instance, can contain one or more phase change agents that undergo a phase change at slightly elevated temperatures. The phase change agents, in one embodiment, can have a relatively high heat of fusion. When undergoing a phase change, the phase change agents absorb heat and thereby provide a cooling feeling to the skin of a user. The hydrophilic lotion composition may contain a carrier and a thermo-reversible gelling agent. The hydrophilic lotion composition maintains the temperature change composition within the tissue and helps to prevent skin irritation.
Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to a personal care composition containing a carrier, an oil phase having at least one terpene alcohol component, an at least partially fluorinated compound, and a stabilizer. In an exemplary aspect, the at least partially fluorinated compound is stable within the composition of the present disclosure with the introduction of an oil phase having at least one terpene alcohol component to stabilize the at least partially fluorinated compound. Thus, the composition provides an initial foaming action and longer term skin benefits provided by an oil phase contacting a terpene alcohol component. A stabilizing component may also be included to provide further stability to the composition.

Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to a skin protectant formulation that is designed to be sprayed onto human skin for the purpose of protecting the skin. In particular, an exemplary formulation of the present disclosure contains at least a carrier, a structurant and a skin protectant agent. An exemplary formulation contains a carrier comprising at least water, a structurant comprising at least a laponite clay, and a skin protectant agent comprising petrolatum. Typically, the skin protectant formulation will comprise at least about 30 wt. % of a skin protectant agent. A continuous spray dispenser may be used to apply the skin protectant formulation to reduce the need for rubbing as the treated area can be covered by a mist of the skin protectant formulation requiring no need to rub for application or small droplets that do not require extensive time for rubbing in.
Abstract:
Delivery compositions and substrates for imparting a volatile active agent to a surface are disclosed herein. To achieve the delivery of the volatile component, a delivery composition of a carbohydrate matrix and a volatile component is incorporated into the carbohydrate matrix to stabilize the volatile for extended periods of time. The delivery composition further comprises a self-generating expelling agent to expel the volatile component onto the contaminated surface or skin upon addition of a triggering agent.
Abstract:
Wiping products, such as facial tissues, contain a temperature change composition that can provide a cooling sensation when contacted with the skin of a user. The temperature change composition includes a phase change material and a non-interfering molecular scaffold. The phase change materials, in one embodiment, can have a relatively high heat of fusion. When undergoing a phase change, the temperature change composition absorbs heat and thereby provides a cooling feeling or cooling sensation to the skin of a user.
