Deodorant Composition
U.S. Patent No. 7,727,515 B2; Assif -Science and Technology Projects Development Ltd., Ramat Gan, Israel has been awarded a U.S. patent for a method of removing body odors that entails priming the skin with a deodorizing composition to the axilla region of a human. The deodorizing composition, which is an emulsion, is comprised of two components. One component includes an oil selected from the group consisting of vegetable oils, animal oils, synthetic oils, silicone based oils, isopropyl esters, hydrocarbons and mixtures thereof, wherein the synthetic oils consist of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. The second component includes at least one antibacterial material and an antiodor material for a time period of from approximately five seconds to approximately five minutes. The deodorizing composition is removed after that time period with detergent.
Hair Growth Reduction Patented by P&G
U.S. Patent No. 7,727,516 B2; Procter & Gamble has patented a method of reducing human hair growth that entails applying to skin a composition comprising a TRPM8 agonist as the only active hair growth inhibitor and a dermatologically-acceptable vehicle.
