A method of increasing the deposition of a silicone conditioner to hair. The silicone conditioner is delivered to the hair in an aqueous shampoo and is a polydimethylsiloxane fluid entrapped in a nontoxic hydrophobic macroporous highly crosslinked polymer. The macroporous polymer is a mixture of particulates including unit particles having an average diameter of less than one micron; agglomerates formed of fused unit particles and having an average diameter of about twenty to eighty microns; and aggregates formed of clusters of fused agglomerates and having an average diameter of two-hundred to twelve-hundred microns.

An antiperspirant composition containing an astringent compound, a volatile carrier, and a suspending agent for the astringent compound. The improvement relates to incorporating into the composition as the suspending agent a hydrophobic macroporous highly crosslinked polymer. The hydrophobic macroporous polymer is free of 'in situ' entrapped active ingredients. The preferred antiperspirant product is a roll-on formulation.

Antiperspirant containing a hydrophobic macroporous polymer as the

An antiperspirant stick product containing as components at least one material such as astringent antiperspirant compounds, a volatile silicone, a waxy material, emollients, perfumes, coloring agents, and other ingredients normally used in making stick products. The improvement is directed to incorporating into the stick product as one component a macroporous highly crosslinked polymer. The macroporous polymer is free of 'in situ' entrapped active ingredients.

This invention relates to an underarm formulation containing volatile and/or non-volatile alkylmethylsiloxanes. Incorporation of such agents results in formulations which have beneficial effects such as decreased whitening, less crumbling, better compatibility, controlled vapor pressure and better aesthetics. In addition, use of these materials often results in processing advantages over the prior art.

Underarm formulations containing alkylmethylsiloxanes

Plastic materials having distributed therein discrete particles of crosslinked polymers having functional material entrapped within the polymer lattices during the in situ polymerization of the monomers forming the polymer for the purpose of a controlled release of the functional material.

Plastics containing sustained release of functional materials

This invention relates to solid compositions wherein a non-cosmetic functional material is entrapped in the lattice of the cross-linked polymer during in situ polymerization of the monomers forming the polymer lattice. The invention provides for conversion of solid and/or liquid products into solid, free-flowing forms by entrapment of the functional materials in a hydrophobic polymer lattice.

The invention relates to nitrocellulose free nail lacquer compositions comprising copolymers of hydrophobic and hydrophilic monomers, in suitable carriers. The nail lacquer compositions may be applied to nails where they form a high gloss, well adhering waterproof film. A process for forming nitrocellulose free nail lacquer compositions is also provided.

Nitrocellulose free nail lacquer composition

This invention relates to solid emollient-moisturizer compositions, and in particular relates to compositions wherein an emollient-moisturizer is entrapped in the lattice of the cross-linked polymer during in situ polymerization of the monomers forming the polymer lattice. The invention provides for conversion of solid and/or liquid emollients or moisturizers into solid, free-flowing forms by entrapment of the functional materials in a hydrophobic polymer lattice.
