Compositions for repelling fluid and uses thereof
View Patent ↗Provided are compositions for repelling fluids comprising a volatile liquid carrier, a powder-feel agent and less than 5 weight % of an ester selected from the group consisting of formula I, formula II, formula III, and combinations of two or more thereof: wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 5 , R 6 , R 8 and R 9 are independently linear or branched, substituted or unsubstituted, saturated or unsaturated, C 3 -C 22 alkyl or alkenyl groups, R 4 is a linear or branched, substituted or unsubstituted, saturated or unsaturated, C 3 -C 22 alkylene or alkenylene moiety, and R 7 is a linear or branched, substituted or unsubstituted, saturated or unsaturated C 3 -C 22 moiety, the composition being substantially anhydrous. Also provided are methods of improving dryness and/or comfort associated with the intimate area, as well as, kits comprising the composition and an absorbent article.
1. A composition comprising 34 to 94 weight percent of a volatile cyclic silicone carrier selected from the group consisting of decamethylcyclopentasiloxane, dodecamethylcyclopentasiloxane, or a combination thereof, from about 5 to about 65 weight percent of a silicone-based powder-feel agent selected from the group consisting of silicone elastomers, hydrophobic silica, or combinations thereof, and an ester selected from the group consisting of octyl isononanoate, isopropyl palmitate, butyl stearate, diisopropyl adipate, triisostearyl citrate, and combinations of two or more thereof, wherein the ester is present in an amount of less than 5 weight percent, the composition being substantially anhydrous.
2. The composition of claim 1 having a Contact Angle of 90° or greater.
3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein said cyclic volatile silicone carrier is decamethylcyclopentasiloxane.
4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the powder feel agent comprises a high molecular weight cross-linked silicone elastomer.
5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the powder feel agent comprises a hydrophobic silica particle.
6. The composition of claim 1 wherein the ester is selected from the group consisting of octyl isononanoate, isopropyl palmitate, butyl stearate, and combinations of two or more thereof.
7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the ester is octyl isononanoate.
