A composition comprises β-pinene, borneol, cinnamic aldehyde, citral, d-limonene, eucalyptol, eugenol, farnesol, linalool, thymol, and vanillin. In addition, a method for use of the composition as an antibacterial and antiviral agent is also disclosed.

Composition and method of controlling infectious diseases with functional fragrances

Compositions comprising UV blocking agents, a film forming polymer containing acid groups and a neutralizing agent; compositions and methods for increasing the SPF of a composition by neutralizing at least a portion of the acid groups of the film forming agent with the neutralizing agent.

Enhanced efficiency of sunscreen compositions

A composition and method for insect repellent is provided. The composition in one form has on a weight percentage basis 2-4% α-pinene; 2-4% borneol; 8-10% geraniol; 28-35% linalool; 25-38% linalyl acetate; 1-4% methyl salicylate; 2-4% myrcene; 2-4% para-cymene; 4-8% phellandrene; 1-4% thymol; and 2-4% vanillin. The composition has insect repellent properties.

Insect repelling composition

A composition and method for insect repellent is provided. The composition in one form has on a weight percentage basis 2-4% &#x3b1;-pinene; 2-4% borneol; 8-10% geraniol; 28-35% linalool; 25-38% linalyl acetate; 1-4% methyl salicylate; 2-4% myrcene; 2-4% para-cymene; 4-8% phellendrene; 1-4% thymol; and 2-4% vanillin. The composition has insect repellent properties.

In one aspect, the present invention is directed to formulations comprising at least one pressure generating vehicle along with at least one skincare active agent in a container such that the pressure generating vehicle would eject the formulation as foam, whipped cream or a similar form upon application of external pressure on the container.

Foaming skincare formulations

Antioxidant-containing compositions and methods for confirming antioxidant activity of a composition formulated for topical application to skin. Methods for testing a composition for ability to inhibit both ultraviolet radiation-induced lipid peroxidation on skin and ultraviolet radiation-induced reactive oxygen species formation in the stratum corneum. Compositions and methods for treating and preventing photodamage to skin.

Method of selecting antioxidants for use in topically applied compositions

Certain aspects of the invention relate to compositions comprising UV blocking agents, a film forming polymer containing acid groups and a neutralizing agent. Such compositions have an increased SPF due to neutralization of at least a portion of the acid groups of the film forming agent by the neutralizing agent. The invention also discloses methods for increasing SPF of a composition as well as methods for using the novel composition.

The invention provides antioxidant-containing compositions and methods for confirming antioxidant activity of a composition formulated for topical application to skin. The invention also provides methods for testing a composition for the ability to inhibit both ultraviolet radiation-induced lipid peroxidation on skin and ultraviolet radiation-induced reactive oxygen species formation in the stratum corneum as well as compositions and methods for treating and preventing photodamage to skin.

Methods and compositions useful in enhancing protection from UV radiation, the compositions containing octyl triazone and diethylthexyl syringylidene malonate in an amount effective to photostabilize octyl triazone.

Photostabilization of octyl triazone

Sunscreen compositions contain the active ingredients avobenzone, zinc oxide and phenylbenzimidazole sulfonic acid. The phenylbenzimidazole sulfonic acid protects avobenzone against photodegradation.

Stabilized photoprotective composition

A formulation for topical application, the formulation comprising a waterborne polyurethane polymer; a thickening agent; a humectant, at least one sunscreen active agent, and an emulsifying agent.

Sunscreen formulations containing waterborne polyurethane polymers

A colored sunscreen emulsion which enables the user to more effectively protect against skin damage, by facilitating more complete and uniform coverage of the sunscreen on the skin, comprises:

Sunscreen having disappearing color

Wheel alignment adjustment system includes sensing apparatus for sensing alignment characteristics of a vehicle to be aligned, a memory for storing alignment specifications for a plurality of vehicles, at least one manually operable input device, operable by a user, for selecting parameters of an installed alignment component, a logic circuit for determining, from sensed alignment characteristics, corresponding alignment specifications, and the installed alignment component parameters, an adjustment to improve the alignment characteristics, and a display for displaying to a user a representation of the determined adjustment. A method using the system is also disclosed.

Alignment component replacement system

Communication system for vehicle wheel alignment apparatus includes transceivers for each wheel sensor and a plurality of transceivers disposed at a control console or control remote unit. Communication is accomplished with any particular sensor transceiver by switching among the control transceivers as follows: (1) If the sensor transceiver does not respond, switch the transmitter portions of the control transceivers sequentially until the sensor transceiver does respond, and (2) if the signal from the sensor transceiver is garbled, switch the receiver portions of the control transceivers sequentially until the message is ungarbled. The transmitter and receiver portions of the control transceivers are controlled independently, so that for a particular message transmission may use a first control transceiver and reception may use a second control transceiver. The communication between sensor transceivers and the control transceivers is cross-band, with all sensor transceivers using the same transmission frequency and a second, different reception frequency. Each transceiver uses the receiver mixer stage as the final, power amplification stage for the transmitter. Transmission is via an AM modulated FM subcarrier.
