This application relates to antiviral tissue paper comprising pyrrolidone carboxylic acid as an antiviral agent. When added to tissue paper pyrrolidone carboxylic acid has the ability to kill certain strains of viruses which come into contact with the tissue. In addition to its antiviral efficacy, pyrrolidone carboxylic acid tends to be mild to the skin thus mitigating the potential for skin irritation. Furthermore, upon transfer to the skin, pyrrolidone carboxylic acid assists in retention of the natural moisture of the skin while continuing to kill deleterious viruses.

Tissue products containing antiviral agents which are mild to the skin

This application relates to antiviral tissue paper comprising a water soluble metal ion as an antiviral agent. The water soluble metal ion has at least one hydroxide ion formation constant wherein the hydroxide ion formation constant is at least 10 . When added to tissue the water soluble metal ion has the ability to kill certain strains of viruses which come into contact with the tissue.

Antiviral compositions for tissue paper

Disclosed are antimicrobial cleansing compositions that have a pH of from about 2.0 to about 5.5 and comprise an antimicrobial agent, an amphoteric sulfactant, and 2-pyrrolidone-5 carboxylic acid as a proton donating agent. Also disclosed are corresponding articles of manufacture and methods of cleansing the skin using the described compositions. The compositions are mild to the skin and provide improved antimicrobial benefits to the skin.

Antimicrobial cleansing compositions containing 2-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic acid

The present invention relates to antimicrobial compositions which provide enhanced immediate as well as residual anti-viral and antibacterial efficacy. The antimicrobial compositions of the present invention provide previously unseen residual effectiveness against Gram negative bacteria, Gram positive bacteria, and viruses, fungi, and improved immediate germ reduction upon use. These compositions comprise: a) a safe and effective amount of a benzoic acid analog; b) a safe and effective amount of a metal salt; and c) a dermatologically acceptable carrier for the acid and salt wherein said composition has a pH of from about 1 to about 7. The invention further relates to methods of use for the present compositions as well as antimicrobial products which incorporate the compositions.

Antimicrobial compositions comprising a benzoic acid analog and a metal salt

The present invention relates to topical compositions comprising a vitamin B,compound which are useful for regulating skin condition, especially for regulating the signs of skin aging.

Methods of regulating skin appearance with vitamin B3 compound

The present invention relates to methods for inhibiting sebaceous gland activity in mammalian skin comprising administration of a topical composition comprising dehydroacetic acid or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and a dermatologically-acceptable carrier. The present invention also relates to methods and topical compositions further comprising agents which regulate the oily and/or shiny appearance of skin, and agents which treat acne and related skin disorders in mammalian skin and scalp. Methods of reducing sebum synthesis with the use of dehydroacetic acid, methods of regulating the oily and/or shiny appearance of skin, and methods of treating acne and other skin disorders are also encompassed by the present invention.

Topical compositions for regulating the oily/shiny appearance of skin

The present invention is directed to topical compositions for regulating the oil and/or shiny appearance of mammalian skin which comprise: a) from about 1% to about 10% of an active for regulating the oil and/or shiny appearance of mammalian skin which consists essentially of one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of niacinamide, panthenol, and pantothenic acid; and b) a cosmetically acceptable carrier for the active.

The present invention relates to topical compositions comprising a vitamin B.sub.3 compound which are useful for regulating skin condition, especially for regulating the signs of skin aging.

Methods of regulating skin appearance with vitamin B.sub.3 compound

Disclosed are topical compositions for regulating the oily and/or shiny appearance of skin. The compositions contain:
