Apparatus and method reclaim make-up of the type ordinarily supplied in block form by processing broken, unusable random-sized pieces of such make-up into a block of usable make-up of prescribed consistency, size and configuration, by advancing the random-sized pieces through a mesh member of selected mesh size to form intermediate particles of a size appropriate for agglomeration into the block of usable make-up. A measured charge of intermediate particles is established in a compression chamber where the measured charge is compressed by a ram into a mold member to form the block. The mold member preferably includes a tray which selectively is removed to a cosmetic case for ease of carrying and using the reclaimed make-up.

A three layer effervescent tablet includes a first layer carrying a first effervescent reactant, and a second layer carrying a second effervescent reactant, with the first and second layers, separated by an interposed layer of a material which does not react with either effervescent reactant. This provides an effervescent tablet that does not require any of the special material, handling, or packaging considerations normally needed for effervescent tablets.

Effervescent systems with simplified packaging requirements

An antimicrobial composition containing an alcohol having 3 to 6 carbon atoms which effectively increases antimicrobial activity and particularly a mouthwash composition that is useful in the prevention and reduction of bad breath, plaque and related gum diseases having an antimicrobially effective amount of one or more active essential oils; from about 0.01% to about 30.0% v/v of an alcohol having 3 to 6 carbon atoms; optionally, ethanol; at least one surfactant; and water. The actives not only provide enhanced efficacy but are completely solubilized, thus providing an aesthetically appealing product.

Antimicrobial composition containing a C.sub.3 -C.sub.6 alcohol

A method for reducing the desire of a person to smoke tobacco includes orally administering to the person an aqueous solution containing a polyvalent cation derived from a metal selected from the group consisting of palladium, copper, zinc, aluminum, tin, and bismuth. The method includes smoking tobacco by the person to whom the solution is administered, subsequent to the oral administration of the solution.

Method for deterring smoking

Liquid oral compositions comprising a liquid carrier and one or more deterpenated and fractionated flavor oil(s) have improved taste and clarity.

The invention provides an anti-bacterial oral composition such as mouthrinse which includes a bis-biguanido hexane compound such as chlorhexidine and compounds thereof, certain non-ionic surfactants which are poly(oxyethylene)-poly(oxypropylene) block copolymers having an HLB of between 10 and 30 or an ethoxylated hydrogenated caster oil containing from about 10 to 200 moles of added ethylene oxide and sorbitol in high concentrations. The oral composition is found to increase the activity of the bis-biguanido compound from 25% to 150%.

Anti-bacterial oral composition containing bis-biguanido hexanes

A composition or a final product containing thymol in which the unpleasant, medicinal, or harsh taste of thymol has been masked is disclosed. The taste masking is accomplished utilizing effective amounts of a sugar alcohol, or a mixture of sugar alcohols, and anethole.
