A scalp massager that simultaneously dispenses fluid is provided. A reservoir of fluid is fluidly coupled to a plurality of dispensing conduits, wherein each dispensing conduit is operatively associated with a resilient leg so that the outlet of the dispensing conduit is adjacent the distal end of the resilient leg. Both the resilient leg and the dispensing conduit each terminate at two adjacent points. The resilient leg may provide a foot that extends the two adjacent points for massaging the scalp.

Combination fluid dispenser and scalp massager

A process for making alkyl ether glycerols involving: (a) providing a feedstock component having at least one terminal hydroxyl group selected from the group consisting of glycerides and polyols; (b) providing a heavy metal catalyst; and (c) contacting the feedstock component with the heavy metal catalyst.

Process for making alkyl ether glycerols

A process for making a soften or fluid personal cleansing composition comprising: (a) providing a solid personal cleansing stock consisting essentially of an acyl isethionate; (b) heating the solid personal cleansing stock using microwave energy to form a softened or molten stock personal cleansing component; (c) introducing the softened or molten stock personal cleansing into a mixing apparatus; (d) introducing a personal cleansing adjuvant into the mixing apparatus; and (e) mixing the softened or molten personal cleansing stock and adjuvant in the mixing apparatus to form a softened or fluid personal cleansing composition.

Use of microwave energy to form soap bars

A polyglycerol composition of the formula ##STR1## wherein R may be ##STR2## C comprises up to about 3 percent of all N+M units, and N+M is a number from about 3 to about 15, and wherein the polyglycerol is essentially free of low molecular weight glycerides selected from the group consisting of glycerine, diglycerine and triglycerine. The polyglycerol may be esterified to provide a low calorie polyglycerol polyester food composition, or it may be alkoxylated and then esterified to provide a low calorie alkoxylated polyglycerol polyester food composition.

Oligoglycerol mixtures having a high diglycerol content are prepared by a process in which glycerol is condensed in the presence of zeolites corresponding to formula (I)

Process for the production of oligoglycerol mixtures of increased

Process for the preparation of .alpha.-alkyl lactones by the steps of first reacting an .alpha.-acyl lactone, an aldehyde, and an alkali metal hydroxide together to form an .alpha.-alkylidene lactone, and then hydrogenating the .alpha.-alkylidene lactone.

Process for the preparation of alpha-alkyl lactones

A process for preparing furans of the formula (I) ##STR1## by reacting a furanone of the formula ##STR2## with an organic orthoacid or an orthosilicate in the presence of an acid catalyst at an elevated temperature.

Process for preparing furan compositions

A process for preparing a composition of the formula ##STR1## by reacting a composition of the formula ##STR2## with a polyhydric alcohol of the formula HO--X--OH in the presence of an acid catalyst at an elevated temperature to form a ketal of the formula ##STR3## and reacting the ketal of the formula (II) with a monohydric alcohol in the presence of an acid at an elevated temperature to form ##STR4##

A convenient process for the preparation of .gamma.-alkyl-substituted-.gamma.-butyrolactones and .delta.-valerolactones is provided. The process involves forming the .alpha.-alkylidene lactone by reacting essentially equimolar amounts of an .alpha.-acyl lactone, an aldehyde, and an alkali metal hydroxide in an inert diluent at an elevated temperature while removing water and hydrogenating the .alpha.-alkylidene lactone to obtain the corresponding .alpha.-alkyl lactone.

Fragranced compositions and fragranced articles containing an aroma-augmenting or aroma-enhancing amount of a 2,3-dihydrofuran corresponding to the formula ##STR1## wherein R' is an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R** is an alkyl group having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms, R.sub.1 is an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R.sub.2 is hydrogen or an alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are hydrogen or a methyl group, and a process for obtaining same are provided.

Alkyl substituted-2,3-dihydrofuran fragrance compositions

Balsamic fragrance compositions having fruity, fir needle notes with the character of fir balsam absolute are produced by reacting camphene, and ethylhaloacetate and di-t-butyl peroxide; reacting the mixture obtained therefrom with zinc and water; vacuum distilling the resulting product; and collecting a specified fraction.

Balsamic fragrance composition and process for preparation

2,3-Dihydrofurans having highly desirable odor characteristics closely mimicking that of natural products are provided herein. The 2,3-dihydrofurans correspond to the formula ##STR1## wherein R' is an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R** is an alkyl group having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms, R.sub.1 is an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R.sub.2 is hydrogen or an alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are hydrogen or a methyl group. The 2,3-dihydrofuran compounds are useful in the preparation of fragrance compositions and fragranced articles and can be employed in conjunction with known fragrance materials to augment or enhance the aromas thereof.
