Appl. No.:

11/981344

Inventors:

Sarah A. Lemke - Appleton WI, US
Scott W. Wenzel - Neenah WI, US
Tammy J. Balzar - Oshkosh WI, US

International Classification:

A61K 31/722
A61P 43/00

US Classification:

424 7802

Abstract:

A cooling composition for application to the skin of a mammal, such as a human. The base of the composition is an interpenetrating polymer network, which may contain a thermo-responsive polymer. Having a Critical Temperature above an average core body temperature, the material may undergo a phase change as the creature becomes too warm, such as when a person experiences a hot flash, a fever, exposure to very warm environments, physical exertion, and the like. The phase change results in a cooling and/or cooling sensation of the skin. Additives may be included in the cooling composition such as evaporative cooling components, neurosensory cooling components, and additional phase change components.

International Classification:

A61F 7/10

US Classification:

607114

Abstract:

A system for cooling the skin including a cooling composition and an article made at least in part from a phase change material. The article may contain the cooling composition, or be separate therefrom. Different article forms include a vessel, a token, a figurine, jewelry, a packet, among other forms. The phase change material may encapsulate to form a plurality of microcapsules, or may form a single mass.

International Classification:

A61K 9/12
A61P 17/02

US Classification:

424 45

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.

International Classification:

A61K 9/70

US Classification:

424443

Abstract:

A delivery product is used to deliver a skin composition to the skin of a user. The delivery product includes a thermo-responsive polymer film. The polymer film is solid at room temperature but, once contacted with the skin, increases in temperature and degrades. A skin composition is associated with the polymer film. The skin composition can be applied to a surface of the film or can be incorporated into the film. The skin composition is released by the polymer film for treating the skin of the user.

A61Q 19/00
A61Q 19/10

US Classification:

424401, 510130

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.

US Classification:

600 29, 29433

Abstract:

A disposable urinary incontinence device comprises a liquid-stable resilient member, and a cover sheet that envelops the liquid-stable resilient member to form an elongated member having a tubular profile. The elongated member has a first end, a second end, a first fold region disposed between the first end and the second end, a second fold region disposed between the first end and the first fold region, a third fold region disposed between the second end and the first fold region, a first portion located between the first end and the second fold region, a second portion located between the second end and the third fold region, a third portion located between the first fold region and a second fold region, and a fourth portion located between the first fold region and the third fold region to form a W-shaped incontinence device.

US Classification:

600 29

Abstract:

A disposable urinary incontinence device comprises a liquid-stable resilient member and a cover sheet. The cover sheet envelops the liquid-stable resilient member to form an elongated member having a tubular profile. The elongated member has a first end, a second end. The cover sheet exhibits a skin-facing surface contact area of less than 30% at a depth of 10% of the cover sheet. In addition, the cover sheet has a static coefficient of 0.275 to 0.150, and a dynamic coefficient of friction of 0.230 to 0.150.
