Applicant/Assignee: UNILEVER HOME & PERSONAL CARE USA UNILEVER HOME & PERSONAL CARE USA, DIVISION OF CONOPCO, INC

Application No.: 09/827385   Filing Date: 05/Apr/2001

Abstract:In some aspects a process for forming deodorant or antiperspirant soft solid in which a mobile deodorant or antiperspirant composition is filled into dispensing containers by injection moulding, i.e. a process in which the deodorant or antiperspirant composition is filled under pressure. The composition at the time of injection moulding is preferably in the vicinity of its normal setting temperature. The deodorant or antiperspirant composition is preferably continuously produced in a screw extruder, especially a twin screw extruder, which is controlled to deliver the composition in a suitably viscous state under low shear, at a temperature in the vicinity of its normal setting temperature. Use of the twin screw extruder is particularly advantageous for formulations in which a particulate antiperspirant is suspended in a fluid carrier.

It is injected into the container at a head pressure at the point of injection that is greater than 120 kPa and in many instances from 800 to 2000 kPa in the injection head. The combined process offers benefits for controlled fill of dispensing containers, particularly for formulations incorporating sensitive ingredients and offers tolerance in composition temperature at the time of fill.

When formulated into an antiperspirant stick, the antiperspirant actives produce an improved combination of functional properties, including excellent antiperspirancy, smooth skin feel, nontacky, quick drying and leave no visible residue. The exceptionally high surface area of the antiperspirant active results in rapid and efficient delivery of the active to the sweat glands and possible absorption.

The absence or reduced quantity of suspending and flow enhancing agents, of gellant and surfactant, is believed to improve the antiperspirant active's ability to physically reach the sweat glands and improve efficacy.

Application No.: 10/731319   Filing Date: 08/Dec/2003

Abstract:The present invention relates to an improved fragrance controlled release system that can be incorporated into anhydrous consumer and cosmetic products such as powder laundry detergents, underarm deodorant or antiperspirant sticks, soap bars, body deodorant powders, foot spray, hygiene sprays, feminine napkin sprays, undergarment sprays, and the like that provides a high intensity odor signal such as a high impact fragrance burst in response to moisture. A selected fragrance is encapsulated in a water-sensitive matrix material. The high impact fragrance burst in response to moisture is achieved by formulating the fragrance or fragrance ingredients that are encapsulated to provide improved fragrance release in response to moisture. The encapsulated fragrance is formulated by combining fragrance ingredients such that their interaction with water results in increasing their relative content in the headspace of the system proximate environment after the system has been exposed to moisture. Examples of suitable fragrance ingredients have ClogP<=4.0 and boiling point<=300 DEG C. The present invention also can provide multiple fragrance bursts in response to moisture. Multiple fragrance bursts can be achieved by formulating the moisture sensitive matrix material with materials having different dissolution rates. The invention further relates to anhydrous consumer and cosmetic product compositions comprising the improved fragrance controlled release system of the present invention.
