Applicant/Assignee: SCHERING CORPORATION

Application No.: 284032   Filing Date: 14/Dec/1988

Abstract:

A method of enhancing transdermal delivery of a pharmaceutically active drug from a transdermal delivery system as well as a transdermal delivery system capable of providing a desirable flow interface between the delivery system and the skin surface are disclosed. The method involves pre-treating an area of skin with an anticholinergic agent in an amount sufficient to have a local antisecretory effect on the area treated, such amount being insufficient to cause systemic effects

and applying the transdermal delivery system to the pre-treated area. The delivery system of the present invention is comprised of a carrier means, a pharmaceutically active drug and an anticholinergic agent. With both the method and the delivery system, the anticholinergic agent is preferably a quaternary ammonium salt which is itself transdermally delivered to the area beneath the delivery system in an amount sufficient to suppress perspiration in that area. The suppression of perspiration prevents the formation of an aqueous interface between the skin and delivery system which might prevent drug delivery.

Abstract:

A deodorant/antiperspirant solid stick form product, formed and extruded from a mold having a cavity in the shape of the desired stick and within said cavity a threaded shaft axially oriented therein and rotably mounted at the bottom side through an aperture. An elevator platform is threadably mounted to the base of the threaded shaft. Chemical product is then poured into the mold in its liquid or molten state. Upon cooling, the product solidifies and takes on the shape of the cavity of the mold. Reverse rotation of the threaded shaft advances the elevator platform and its now attached stick out of the mold and into a thin walled recyclable refill package. The body of the package is in the shape of the stick, one end is closed and has a sealed vent aperture, the other end is open, broadened and sealed. An empty dispenser (now with its used up stick elevator platform removed and discarded) is coupled to the refill containers open broadened end in a close fitting engagement. The refill containers seal is removed from the vent aperture releasing back pressure from the refill stick and the hand wheel, located on the dispenser, is rotated which in turn rotates the threaded shaft located in the dispenser which threadably engages with the refill stick attached elevator platform and draws the stick out of the refill package and into the applicator.

Title: Clear or translucent tack-free antiperspirant stick or gel composition and manufacturing method

Applicant/Assignee: THE MENNEN COMPANY

Application No.: 426672   Filing Date: 21/Apr/1995

Abstract:

Disclosed is a stick or gel composition, which can be clear or translucent, for combatting body malodor (e.g., an antiperspirant composition). The composition contains an antiperspirant active material (e.g., an antiperspirant active metal salt, such as aluminum chlorohydrate) and a polyamide gelling agent, and also contains a solvent system for the antiperspirant active material and polyamide, which dissolves the gelling agent and from which the gelling agent can be gelled. The solvent system is glycol-free, and includes a non-ionic surfactant (e.g., laureth-4) and a polar solvent (including water)). Use of the glycol-free solvent system achieves a gelled composition that has reduced levels of tack (is substantially tack-free) and has cosmetically acceptable properties. The composition can further include an opaque wax (e.g., stearyl alcohol), especially where the composition includes relatively small amounts of polyamide gelling agent, to provide additional structure and enhance dissolution of the polyamide gelling agent, while achieving a translucent composition which produces an optically clear film when applied to the skin. The composition containing the non-ionic surfactant and opaque wax can be processed, to form the gelled composition, at relatively low temperatures (180 DEG -185 DEG F.).

Application No.: 641812   Filing Date: 02/May/1996

Abstract:

Described is a dispensing package for a flowable viscous product which can relieve residual pressure on the product in the package, so as to avoid product weeping out of the package. The package uses an elevator to force product out of the package, the elevator including resilient structure to spring-bias the elevator in a direction away from the product outlet of the package. After dispensing the desired amount of product, this spring bias retracts the elevator so as to relieve residual pressure. Also described is structure for moving the elevator which provides both axial movement and reciprocating axial movement, without creating difficulty for the consumer to cause elevator movement between the first and second portions.

Applicant/Assignee: THE GILLETTE COMPANY

Application No.: 588619   Filing Date: 06/Feb/1996

Abstract:

The present invention features a method of making a gel cosmetic stick. The method comprises first mixing a particulate dibenzylidene alditol with a liquid vehicle which contains an antiperspirant salt dissolved therein to form a uniform dispersion. The dibenzylidene alditol is mixed with the liquid vehicle at a temperature sufficiently low, preferably below 50 DEG C., so that substantially none of the dibenzylidene alditol dissolves in the liquid vehicle. This dispersion may comprise a commercial size quantity, typically greater than 200 kg. A portion of this dispersion, typically a relatively small portion, is then heated to a temperature sufficient to dissolve the dibenzylidene alditol therein, then cooled to form a gel. This heating and cooling is conducted sufficiently rapidly so as to minimize degradation of the dibenzylidene alditol. Preferably the heating and cooling is conducted such that said portion is subjected to a temperature greater than 90 DEG C. for not more than two hours, most preferably not more than thirty minutes.

Abstract:

A method for providing aerogels, and aerogels produced according to the method, is described. As one aspect, antiperspirant compounds that are in aerogel form, and antiperspirant and deodorant compositions including such salts, are described. The method involves contacting a solution containing material to be processed with a species selected to precipitate the material and selected so as to be miscible with the solvent system of the solution. After the material is precipitated, the material may be washed with the precipitating species until it is substantially free of solvent system. Then, the precipitating species containing the material precipitate is taken above its critical point, and the supercritical fluid is exhausted above its critical temperature. Alternately, a separate isolating species is introduced to displace the precipitating species, or the precipitating species/solvent system mixture. The isolating species then is taken above its critical point, and exhausted above its critical temperature. The invention provides for batch or continuous processes.

Title: Solid cosmetic composition containing hexanediol-behenyl beeswax as gelling agent

Applicant/Assignee: COLGATE PALMOLIVE COMPANY

Application No.: 709443   Filing Date: 06/Sep/1996

Abstract:

Disclosed is a solid (e.g., cream, such as semi-solid or soft solid) cosmetic composition containing an active cosmetic material (e.g., a deodorant active, an antiperspirant active, a sunscreen, an insect repellent and/or an anti-fungal agent), volatile (e.g., cyclomethicone) and linear chain (e.g., dimethicone and/or phenyl trimethicone) silicone materials, and at least one gelling agent. The at least one gelling agent includes hexanediol-behenyl beeswax, and is included in the composition in an amount sufficient to provide the solid composition. By incorporating the hexanediol-behenyl beeswax as a gelling agent, conventional gelling agents such as fatty alcohols and hydrogenated castor oil need not be incorporated in the composition. When an antiperspirant active material is incorporated in the solid composition containing hexanediol-behenyl beeswax as a gelling agent, a solid antiperspirant composition that is efficacious and leaves no visible (white) residue, can be achieved.

Abstract:

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.

Title: Silicone polyether stabilized silicone latex solvent thickening

Applicant/Assignee: DOW CORNING CORPORATION

Application No.: 969888   Filing Date: 13/Nov/1997

Abstract:

The viscosity of a solvent is modified by thickening the solvent with a silicone latex. A silicone latex having a plurality of crosslinked polysiloxane particles is first prepared by mixing the siloxane polymer, a surfactant, and water

emulsifying the mixture to a gel phase

diluting the emulsion with water

adding a cure package (i.e., a catalyst, a crosslinker, or both, or a self catalytic crosslinker)

and then without removing the water from the latex and after the particles of siloxane polymer in the latex have been cured, mixing the latex and solvent to thicken the solvent, forming viscous liquids, gels, and pastes. Water in the latex thickened solvent composition can be stabilized by adding a silicone polyether during mixing of the latex and the solvent. These stabilized latex thickened solvent compositions have beneficial properties such as clarity, shelf stability, and ease of preparation

Application No.: 869602   Filing Date: 06/Jun/1997

Abstract:

The present invention provides a selectively-activatible sheet material for dispensing and dispersing a substance onto a target surface. The sheet material comprises a three-dimensional sheet of material having a first side and a second side. The said first side has a plurality of hollow protrusions extending outwardly therefrom and separated from one another by valleys, while the second side has a plurality of depressions corresponding with the hollow protrusions. A substance adheres to and partially fills a location protected from external contact comprising the valleys and/or the depressions. The sheet material may be selectively activated by deforming the hollow protrusions to deliver the substance to a target surface, the substance having an effective viscosity upon activation which permits the substance to be liberated from its protected location and dispensed onto the target surface. Suitable substances include cleansing agents, medicinal agents, emollients, lubricants, colorants, preservatives, protectants, condiments, adhesives, fragrances, anti-perspirants, deodorants, and combinations thereof. The present invention also includes such materials having two or more substances of diverse composition, and substances which undergo a decrease in effective viscosity upon activation (such as shear-thinning substances) are particularly preferred. Additional layers of porous material may also be employed on the opposite side of the substance from the sheet material such that the substance may be dispensed through the porous material. Porous materials may provide additional beneficial interaction with the substance, including enhanced distribution and dispersal.

Title: Thickening of low molecular weight siloxanes with acrylate/methacrylate polyether grafted silicone elastomers

Applicant/Assignee:

Application No.: 19578   Filing Date: 06/Feb/1998

Abstract:

Low molecular weight siloxane fluids are thickened by silicone elastomers. The silicone elastomers are made by crosslinking reactions of 3BOND Si-H containing siloxanes and an unsaturated hydrocarbon such as an alpha, omega-diene, in the presence of a low molecular weight siloxane fluid. The 3BOND SiH siloxane is first partially reacted with either a monoacrylate functionalized polyether or a monomethacrylate functionalized polyether. It is then crosslinked by the alpha, omega-diene in the presence of the low molecular weight siloxane fluid. An elastomer, i.e. gel, with polyether groups is produced. The elastomer gel can be swollen with the low molecular weight siloxane fluid under shear force to provide a uniform silicone paste. The silicone paste has excellent spreadability upon rubbing, and possesses unique Theological properties in being thixotropic and shear thinning. The silicone paste can be easily emulsified with water to form a stable uniform emulsion without using a surfactant to allow normally immiscible materials to become intimately mixed.
