Bound salads and other food products can enjoy decreased separation with the addition of a source of glucomannan, especially at from 0.1 wt% glucomannan and higher. Glucomannan absorbs substantial amounts of moisture released by the inclusions such as tuna fish, potatoes, vegetables etc, and as such, prevents "watering out" of the salad. Moreover, glucomannan is resistant to certain enzymes released by the inclusions such as carrots, cabbage, vegetables, fruits etc. Particularly important in this respect are amylases. By virtue of its resistance to amylase, glucomannan can thicken dressings in light products such as light mayonnaise, which often include starches subject to degradation by amylase, with little or minimal "watering out" in extended use.

Desired skin colour is a major unmet consumer need in Asia. Consumers particularly desire even skin colour, absence of age spots (solar lentigines) and lighter overall skin tone. One solution is to use biological actives that reduce the activity of melanocytes in skin. These cells, present in the basal layer of the epidermis, make the darkly coloured pigment melanin and export it in small export vesicles called melanosomes to the neighbouring keratinocytes. It is well described in the literature that compounds which reduce melanin synthesis when topically applied to the skin will reduce skin darkness over time. This invention relates to a composition comprising a synergistic combination of ketoconazole and sulforaphane for use in skin lightening. This invention is based on the fact that a combination of ketoconazole and sulforaphane has been found tosynergistically inhibit pigment production in B16 monolayer cultures. Thus the composition, when applied topically or imbibed over an appropriate length of time in-vivo, would be expected to cause skin lightening, or to reduce blemishes and/or hyperpigmented spots and/or solar lentigines leading to an improvement in skin tone and evenness.
The present invention relates to a water-in-oil emulsion comprising 15-90 wt.% of a fat phase having a solid fat content at 20 °C (N20) of at least 10%; and 10-85 wt.% of aqueous phase, said fat phase comprising: ·60-85% by weight of the fat phase of glycerides selected from triglycerides, diglycerides, monoglycerides, phospholipids and combinations thereof, including at least 70% of triglycerides by weight of said glycerides ·15-40 % by weight of said fat phase of phytosterol esters selected from sterol esters, stanol esters and combinations thereof; wherein ω-3 fatty acids selected from EPA, DHA and combinations thereof represent 4-70% by weight of the fatty acids contained in the emulsion. Despite the high levels of EPA and DHA contained in the emulsion, off-flavour development as a result of oxidation of these ω3-fatty acids is minimized due to the presence of sterol esters.

The invention relates to a transparent/translucent liquid antimicrobial mouthwash composition that is substantially free of low molecular weight alcohol. It is a problem to include antimicrobial actives of natural origin (essential oils) which are generally substantially water insoluble materials in an aqueous composition that is transparent or translucent. One way of including such oils in water while ensuring transparency is to formulate them in a microemulsion composition. However microemulsion compositions generally require high amounts of surfactants and solvents especially low molecular weight alcohol. It is thus a challenge to formulate a mouthwash composition that is on the one hand effective in killing microbes while on the other hand has a transparent/ translucent appearance while being substantially free of low molecular weight alcohol. The present inventors have solved this problem and have come up with a microemulsion mouthwash composition which meets all of the above objectives while being especially effective in killing S. mutans, a bacteria responsible for diseases in oral cavity.

A dispenser cap (10) for a liquid container having an opening, the cap (10) comprising a means for attachment (30) to the container, a housing (12) inserted into the opening and comprising a liquid inlet (14), a channel and a liquid outlet (16), the channel comprising a moveable seal (18) defining an outlet-side liquid volume (24) and an inlet-side liquid volume (26), the moveable seal (18) is moveable from a first position to a second position towards the liquid outlet (16) by increasing the inlet-side liquid pressure, thereby causing a dispensable volume of liquid flow out of the outlet (16), the moveable seal (18) also comprising a liquid outlet seal means (22) to seal the liquid outlet when the moveable seal (18) is in its second position, thereby preventing further flow of liquid out of the outlet (16), the cap (10) also comprising a dispensable liquid volume adjustment means (32,34) to adjust the fixed volume of dispensable liquid.
B05B 11/00 - Single-unit hand-held apparatus in which flow of contents is produced by the muscular force of the operator at the moment of use
B05B 11/04 - Deformable containers producing the flow, e.g. squeeze bottles
G01F 11/28 - Apparatus requiring external operation adapted at each repeated and identical operation to measure and separate a predetermined volume of fluid or fluent solid material from a supply or container, without regard to weight, and to deliver it with stationary measuring chambers having constant volume during measurement
G01F 11/26 - Apparatus requiring external operation adapted at each repeated and identical operation to measure and separate a predetermined volume of fluid or fluent solid material from a supply or container, without regard to weight, and to deliver it with measuring chambers moved during operation wherein the measuring chamber is filled and emptied by tilting or inverting the supply vessel, e.g. bottle-emptying apparatus
B05B 11/02 - Membranes or pistons acting on the contents inside the container, e.g. follower pistons
Leave-on non-solid skin conditioning compositions are disclosed. The composition comprises from about 0.01 to about 15% by weight of the composition of 12-hydroxystearic acid, from about 0.1 to about 30% by weight of the composition of a nonionic surfactant and from about 0.05% to about 10% of a thickening polymer. The ratio of total nonionic surfactant to 12-hydroxystearic acid is in the range from about 90:10 to about 25:75. The weight ratio of the polymer to the total nonionic surfactant is in the range of from about 5:95 to about 70:30. The composition has a viscosity in the range of from about 1Pas to about 500 Pas and is structurally reversible through temperature cycling between room temperature and 50°C.
Disclosed are antiperspirant compositions comprising: a) from 10 to 35 wt.%, based on the total weight of the composition, of antiperspirant active; b) triethyl hexanoin, c) at least one additional non-volatile oil, and d) from 1.5 to 30wt.%, based on the total weight of the composition, of structurant, wherein: the ratio, by weight, of triethylhexanoin to additional non-volatile oil is from 5:1 to 1:2; in combination, triethylhexanoin and additional non-volatile oil provide from 35 to 65% of the total weight of the composition; the composition contains from 0 to 5wt.% of volatile silicone oil; the composition is anhydrous; and the composition is in the form of a solid or soft solid. Also disclosed are methods of making such stick compositions, and methods of ameliorating perspiration by the topical application of such compositions to the skin.
Leave-on non-solid skin conditioning compositions containing 12-[(12- hydroxyoctadecanoyl)oxy] octadecanoic acid. 12-[(12-hydroxyoctadecanoyl)oxy] octadecanoic acid can be easily incorporated in combination with lipophilic carriers that are liquid at room temperature. Compositions are able to deliver increased energy production by human fibroblasts. Preferred compositions also contain 12-hydroxystearic acid and thus are able to deliver a wide range of skin benefits.
