US Classification:

252153

Abstract:

A shampoo formulation containing a polyglyceryl ester as the viscosity builder is disclosed. These polyglyceryl esters have the formula: R. sup. 5 OCH. sub. 2 --CH(OR. sup. 4)--CH. sub. 2 --(O--CH. sub. 2 CH(OR. sup. 3)--CH. sub. 2). sub. n --O--CH. sub. 2 --CH(OR. sup. 2)--CH. sub. 2 OR. sup. 1 wherein n is from 4 to 14 and one or more R groups is an acyl group containing from 8 to 22 carbon atoms and the remaining R groups are hydrogen. Such shampoos may be formulated to meet the criteria for both baby and adult shampoos without the need of using ethylene oxide derivatives. By tailoring the polyglyceryl ester employed, a pearlescent appearance can be created and characteristics such as viscosity and clarity may be affected.

Charles Shalotsky - Chatham NJ

International Classification:

A61K 732

US Classification:

424 47

Abstract:

Disclosed is an aerosol deodorant composition which includes an aerosol propellant, a volatile low-viscosity fluid, an oil absorbent particulate material, a silicone polymer and a deodorancy agent, such as at least one of a fragrance and a bactericide. The addition of the oil absorbent particulate material prevents dusting of liquid particles, and the addition of the silicone polymer prevents dusting by the oil absorbent particulate material. Also disclosed is an aerosol deodorant package including the aerosol deodorant composition and an aerosol delivery system having a valve which has orifices for passing the aerosol deodorant composition out of the package, the orifices having diameters such that the average delivery rate of the aerosol deodorant composition from the package is at most 0. 44 gm/sec.

International Classification:

A61K 732

US Classification:

424 47

Abstract:

Disclosed is an aerosol antiperspirant composition containing a silicone polymer (e. g. , a silicone gum) and a volatile low-viscosity fluid in which the silicone polymer is soluble, in addition to at least a propellant and an active antiperspirant salt. The silicone polymer is in the composition in an amount of at least 0. 1% by weight based on the total weight of the compositoin, and is completely dissolved in the composition. Use of the silicone polymer and the volatile low-viscosity fluid, with the polymer completely dissolved in the composition, avoids dustiness and clogging of the aerosol valve, and permits delivery of the composition at relatively low delivery rates. Where the silicone polymer and volatile low-viscosity fluid are provided as a substantially fluid, product bounce-back upon spraying is further reduced, product deposition is increased, and the deposited product has greater resistance to washing-off and rubbing-off. By delivering the composition from the aerosol package at low delivery rates, product bounce-off is even further reduced, thereby further reducing dusting.
