Nonwoven and elastomeric substrates having formulations disposed thereon, wherein the formulations have improved compatibility with the substrate, are disclosed herein. More particularly, the formulations can be applied on the substrates without compromising the elastomeric properties and overall integrity of the substrate. Laminated articles using one or more of the nonwoven and elastomeric substrates having the formulations disposed thereon are further disclosed.

Formulations having improved compatibility with nonwoven substrates

The present disclosure is directed to a system and methods for maintaining or improving hand health and hygiene. More particularly, the system and methods prevent or overcome skin damage caused by frequent hand washing and use of hand sanitizers and/or cleansers. The hand care system comprises an article, such as an elastomeric glove, that has a moisturizing liquid liner composition on the skin-contacting surface of the article that delivers a skin health benefit to the skin, a non-irritating hand cleanser capable of moisturizing the skin, and a moisturizing hand sanitizer.

Hand health and hygiene system for hand health and infection control

Substrates having formulations disposed thereon, wherein the formulations have improved transfer rates from the substrate to skin, are disclosed herein. More particularly, the formulations can be applied to nonwoven, particularly elastomeric substrates, as well as tissue paper, and can be easily and efficiently transferred from the substrate to the skin of a user upon intimate contact thereto. Laminated articles using one or more of the substrates having the formulations disposed thereon are further disclosed.

Substrates having formulations with improved transferability

The present disclosure generally relates to moisturizing hand sanitizers including alcohols that are effective in killing microorganisms while providing a moisturizing benefit to the user's skin. More particularly, the alcohol-based hand sanitizers include a high internal phase emulsion which allows moisturizers or skin protectants such as emollients and/or silicones to be stably incorporated into the sanitizer.

Moisturizing hand sanitizer

The present disclosure generally relates to personal care cleansing compositions and wipes. More particularly, the disclosure relates to single phase compositions and wipes for cleansing the skin and/or hair of a user, while additionally, imparting a perceivable aesthetic feel to the skin of a user. To achieve both cleansing and the perceivable aesthetic feel, a modified sorbitan siloxane is incorporated into the compositions and wipes.

Cleansing compositions including modified sorbitan siloxanes and use thereof

Provided is a temperature change composition including a neurosensory component; and a first phase change component having a first phase change temperature between about 15 degrees C. and about 40 degrees C. Also provided is a temperature change composition including an evaporative cooling component; and a first phase change component having a first phase change temperature. Also provided is a temperature change composition for cooling skin, the composition including a first phase change component having a first phase change temperature; and a second phase change component having a second phase change temperature different from the first phase change temperature.

Skin cooling compositions

A tissue product is disclosed containing an additive composition. The additive composition may be, for instance, a composition designed to provide benefits to a user's skin. In accordance with the present disclosure, the additive composition is located in a target delivery zone on a base web. The base web is modified in the target delivery zone so that the additive composition more efficiently transfers to an opposing surface during use.

Tissue product having a transferable additive composition

The present invention is a soft tissue sheet having reduced lint and slough. The tissue sheet comprises papermaking fibers and a synthetic co-copolymer. The synthetic co-polymer has the general structure: wherein R, R, Rare independently selected from a group consisting of: H; Calkyl radicals; and, mixtures thereof; Ris selected from a group consisting of C-Calkyl radicals and mixtures thereof; Zis a bridging radical attaching the Rfunctionality to the polymer backbone; and, Qis a functional group containing at least a cationic quaternary ammonium radical. w, x, y&#x2267;1 and the mole ratio of x to (x+y) is about 0.5 or greater.

Method of making low slough tissue products

The present disclosure is directed to a cleanser including a balance of components for providing consumers with an enhanced exfoliation experience that smoothes skin immediately and sustains the smooth feeling for an extended period of time. Additionally, the cleanser provides a simultaneous cleansing and warming effect to the consumer's skin. Particularly, in one embodiment, the cleanser includes a combination of a water soluble carrier, a warming agent, a water soluble silicone surfactant, and an exfoliant.

Polysensorial personal care cleanser comprising a quaternary silicone surfactant

Lightweight multi-ply tissue products, such as facial tissue and bath tissue, are produced by printing flexible polymeric binder material, such as certain latex binders, onto one or more inner surfaces of the multi-ply tissue product. The resulting products have low stiffness and high strength.
