A candle having a selectively and reversibly variable color pattern. In one embodiment, the candle comprises a solid transparent gel with a thermochromic or photochromic pigment dispersed evenly throughout. The candle main body changes from a first color to a second color, or from colored to transparent, or from transparent to colored, in response to heat or light from the candle flame, and reverts to the original color or absence of color upon extinguishing the flame. The candle comprises (a) a solid combustible matrix, and (b) a reversible thermochromic or photochromic composition blended into said solid combustible matrix.

Color changing candle

A 'single-use' personal care product designed to replace conventional single use products such as small bars of soap, mini-bottles of shampoo, etc. A water soluble foamed polymer structure, such as produced by freeze drying acemannan derived from aloe vera, serves as the carrier for the personal care active ingredient, and provides the bulk to the structure. The dry foamed product has high void volume, good dimensional stability, high surface area, dissolves easily and completely upon exposure to water and hand mechanical action, and leaves no adverse residue on the skin. The product does not require bottling or complex wrapping, and is much more economical and environmentally friendly than the conventional single use products it replaces. The product can be conveniently carried in a purse or pocket, so that a consumer need never be without his/her favorite personal care products.

Water soluble dry foam personal care product

A stable dry powder skin care powder having prolonged and controlled release properties, useful as baby powders, body talcs, deodorizing powders, OTC eczema preparations, foot powders, anti-fungal powders, etc. The dry powder is preferably prepared by a process comprising spray-drying a mixture of liposome encapsulated active agent, starch and maltodextrin. The particle is designed so that activity of, e.g., an anti-inflammatory agent such as Dragosantol.RTM. can be specifically triggered by skin conditions, such as moisture, for optimal timing of delivery.

Liposome encapsulated active agent dry powder composition

A living air freshener comprising a dwarf flowering plant such as a miniature rose plant rooted in a transparent or non-transparent growth medium in a transparent vessel, with a natural or artificial fragrance composition added directly to the growth medium or to a second compartment in said vessel. The invention also concerns a sealed package for shipping and displaying the living air freshener, which package can be easily opened to activate and/or release fragrance.
