Abstract

Products and methods are disclosed for reducing the production of unwanted odors from the pudendum.

Claims (9)

1. A method for reducing odor on external skin of a human body, comprising applying a viscous cream to a woman's pudendum, said viscous cream comprising from 0.5% to 20% by weight of a mandelic acid; a thickener selected from a gum; a lipophilic carrier comprising at least one of stearyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, behenyl alcohol, lauryl alcohol, or myristyl alcohol; a skin conditioning agent selected from at least one of glycerin, allantoin, retinoids, panthenol, dimethicone, and a tocopheryl compound; the cream being provided in packaging associated with indicia specifying that the cream can be applied to the pudendum to alleviate odor and wherein the cream has a pH from 3.5 to 4.5 and the cream has a viscosity of from about 10,000 to about 150,000 mPa-s at 25° C., wherein the cream when applied to the pudendum according to the indicia is effectively kept in contact with the pudendum for a period of at least 60 minutes, and wherein a pH on the skin in contact with the cream is between about 3.5 and 4.5 during a majority of the at least 60 minutes.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the method further comprises a step of providing the cream to a woman with a need of reducing odor other than odor caused by vaginosis in the woman's pudendal region along the indicia wherein the indicia states the cream should be applied to a dry pudendum and pudendal region after showering.

3. The method of claim 2 further comprising a step of providing a set of wet wipes to the woman with indicia specifying the wipes should be used to clean the pudendum and pudendal region after urination, bowel movements, sexual intercourse or rigorous activity wherein an aqueous composition comprising water, from 0.5% to 20% by weight of a mandelic acid based on the weight of the aqueous composition and a skin benefit agent selected from natural extracts, astringents, and moisturizing agents has been applied to the wet wipes prior to providing the wet wipes to the woman.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the cream comprises glycerin, allantoin, panthenol and a tocopheryl compound.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the cream further comprises a bioadhesive material selected from the group consisting of a gum, a polyvinyl alcohol, a polyacrylate, a cellulose polymer, a clay, a carboxomer polymer and a silicone elastomer.

6. The method of claim 2 wherein the cream further comprises a humectant selected from the group consisting of acetamide monoethanolamine (MEA), aloe vera gel, arginine pyrrolidone carboxylic acid (PCA), chitosan PCA, copper PCA, corn glycerides, dimethyl imidazolidinone, fructose, glucamine, glucose, glucose glutamate, glucuronic acid, glutamic acid, glycereth-7, glycereth-12, glycereth-20, glycereth-26, glycerin, honey, hydrogenated honey, hydrogenated starch hydrolysate, hydrolyzed corn starch, lactamide MEA, lactic acid, lactose lysine PCA, mannitol, methyl gluceth-10, methyl gluceth-20, PCA, polyethylene glycol (PEG)-2 lactamide, PEG-10 propylene glycol, polyamino sugar condensate, potassium PCA, propylene glycol, propylene glycol citrate, saccharide hydrolysate, saccharide isomerate, sodium aspartate, sodium lactate, sodium PCA, sorbitol, triethanolamine (TEA)-Lactate, TEA-PCA, urea, xylitol, and mixtures thereof.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein the cream comprises 2% to 20% by weight of a mandelic acid, a humectant selected from the group consisting of acetamide MEA, aloe vera gel, arginine PCA, chitosan PCA, copper PCA, corn glycerides, dimethyl imidazolidinone, fructose, glucamine, glucose, glucose glutamate, glucuronic acid, glutamic acid, glycereth-7, glycereth-12, glycereth-20, glycereth-26, glycerin, honey, hydrogenated honey, hydrogenated starch hydrolysate, hydrolyzed corn starch, lactamide MEA, lactic acid, lactose lysine PCA, mannitol, methyl gluceth-10, methyl gluceth-20, PCA, PEG-2 lactamide, PEG-10 propylene glycol, polyamino sugar condensate, potassium PCA, propylene glycol, propylene glycol citrate, saccharide hydrolysate, saccharide isomerate, sodium aspartate, sodium lactate, sodium PCA, sorbitol, TEA-Lactate, TEA-PCA, urea, xylitol, and mixtures thereof, a bioadhesive material comprising a polyacrylate and the skin conditioning agent comprises glycerin, allantoin, panthenol and a tocopheryl compound.

8. The method of claim 3 wherein the aqueous composition applied to the wet wipes comprises the skin benefit agent selected from witch hazel and/or aloe vera.

9. The method of claim 3 wherein the aqueous composition comprises water, 2% to 20% by weight of a mandelic acid based on the weight of the aqueous composition, and the skin benefit agent selected from witch hazel and/or aloe vera.
