An emulsion suitable for incorporation into wet wipes used to clean urine and fecal matter from the skin. The emulsion includes silicone oil and water-soluble zinc salt such as zinc chloride and zinc sulfate. Phase separation is prevented with an emulsification system that includes a gum blend and salt-tolerant emulsifier. The gum blend includes at least one gum and propylene glycol alginate.

Stable emulsion for prevention of skin irritation and items using same

A dispersible moist wipe used to clean urine and fecal matter from the skin. The wetting solution is an oil-in-water emulsion containing silicone oil. Phase separation is prevented with one or more gums, propylene glycol alginate, and a Gemini surfactant or phosphate ester.

An ultrasonic mixing system having a treatment chamber in which at least two separate phases can be mixed to prepare an emulsion is disclosed. The treatment chamber has an elongate housing through which the phases flow longitudinally from a first inlet port and a second inlet port, respectively, to an outlet port thereof. An elongate ultrasonic waveguide assembly extends within the housing and is operable at a predetermined ultrasonic frequency to ultrasonically energize the phases within the housing. An elongate ultrasonic horn of the waveguide assembly is disposed at least in part intermediate the inlet and outlet ports, and has a plurality of discrete agitating members in contact with and extending transversely outward from the horn intermediate the inlet and outlet ports in longitudinally spaced relationship with each other.

Personal care compositions and cleansing products including a silicone reactive amino containing dimethicone copolyol are disclosed herein. The compositions and products provide an enhanced wiping experience including improved softness and smooth afterfeel. Further, wipe products including the silicone reactive amino containing dimethicone copolyol provide improved drape of the basesheet, as well as provide a smooth wiping experience with the right amount of glide and a non-tacky afterfeel.

Wet wipes including silicone reactive amino containing dimethicone copolyols

A cleansing composition is described. The cleansing composition generally contains an antimicrobial agent, a heating agent, and a thermochromic agent. During use, the heating agent heats the composition so that the antimicrobial agent becomes more effective. The thermochromic agent, on the other hand, changes the color of the composition as it is heated in order to indicate to a user that the composition is at a desired temperature. In an alternative embodiment, instead of containing a heating agent, a heating source can be used to heat the composition. The heating source can be, for instance, an electrical resistance heater.

Cleansing composition incorporating a biocide, heating agent and thermochromic substance

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

Foamable moisturizing compositions are disclosed. The compositions can include quaternary ammonium surfactant, humectant, secondary solubilizer, and thickening agent. In one embodiment, the composition can be contained in a non-aerosol dispensing container that mixes the composition with air causing the composition to foam when dispensed.
