Abstract

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 R₁, R₂, R₃, R₅, R₆, R₈ and R₉ are independently linear or branched, substituted or unsubstituted, saturated or unsaturated, C₃-C₂₂ alkyl or alkenyl groups, R₄ is a linear or branched, substituted or unsubstituted, saturated or unsaturated, C₃-C₂₂ alkylene or alkenylene moiety, and R₇ is a linear or branched, substituted or unsubstituted, saturated or unsaturated C₃-₂₂ 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.

Claims

1. A method of improving dryness in the intimate area of a body comprising the step of applying to the intimate area a composition comprising a volatile cyclic silicone carrier, a silicone-based 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:

2. The method of claim 1 wherein said composition has a Contact Angle of 90°

or greater.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein said cyclic volatile silicone carrier is a cyclomethicone.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein said powder feel agent is selected from the group consisting of high-molecular weight crosslinked silicone polymers, high molecular weight elastomer crosslinked silicone polymer gels, hydrophobic silica particles, and combinations of two or more thereof.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the powder feel agent comprises a high molecular weight cross-linked silicone elastomer, hydrophobic silica particle, or combination thereof.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein said ester is a monoester.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein said ester is a diester.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein said ester is a triester.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein said ester is selected from the group consisting of, hexyldecyl benzoate, hexyl laurate, hexadecyl isostearate, hexydecyl laurate, hexyldecyl octanoate, hexyldecyl oleate, hexyldecyl palmitate, hexyldecyl stearate, hexyldodecyl salicylate, hexyl isostearate, butyl acetate, butyl isostearate, butyl oleate, butyl octyl oleate, cetyl palmitate, ceyl octanoate, cetyl laurate, cetyl lactate, octyl isonoonanoate, isostearyl isononanoate, isononyl isononanoate, cetyl isononanoate, cetyl stearate, stearyl lactate, stearyl octanoate, stearyl heptanoate, stearyl stearate, and combinations of two or more thereof.

10. The method 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.

11. The method of claim 1 wherein the composition is transferred directly from a container to the intimate area.

12. The method of claim 1 wherein the composition is placed in the hand or fingers and then transferred to the intimate area.

13. The method of claim 1 wherein the composition is placed on an applicator or absorbent article and then transferred from such applicator or absorbent article to the intimate area.

14. The method of claim 1 wherein the composition is sprayed onto the intimate area.

15. The method of claim 1 wherein the composition is applied to the perineal area.

16. The method of claim 1 wherein the composition is applied to the area covered by a diaper.

17. The method of claim 1 wherein the composition is applied to the breasts.

18. A method of improving comfort of the intimate area comprising applying to the intimate area (i) an absorbent article and (ii) a substantially anhydrous composition comprising a volatile cyclic silicone carrier, a silicone-based 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:

19. The method of claim 18 wherein the composition is applied to the intimate area followed by application of the absorbent article.

20. The method of claim 18 wherein the composition is applied to the absorbent article and then the article and composition are applied to the intimate area.

21. The method of claim 18 wherein said composition has a Contact Angle of 90°

or greater.

22. The method of claim 18 wherein said cyclic volatile silicone carrier is a cyclomethicone.

23. The method of claim 18 wherein said powder feel agent is selected from the group consisting of high-molecular weight crosslinked silicone polymers, high molecular weight elastomer crosslinked silicone polymer gels, hydrophobic silica particles, and combinations of two or more thereof.

24. The method of claim 18, wherein the powder feel agent comprises a high molecular weight cross-linked silicone elastomer, hydrophobic silica particle, or combination thereof.

25. The method of claim 18 wherein said ester is selected from the group consisting of , hexyldecyl benzoate, hexyl laurate, hexadecyl isostearate, hexydecyl laurate, hexyldecyl octanoate, hexyldecyl oleate, hexyldecyl palmitate, hexyldecyl stearate, hexyldodecyl salicylate, hexyl isostearate, butyl acetate, butyl isostearate, butyl oleate, butyl octyl oleate, cetyl palmitate, ceyl octanoate, cetyl laurate, cetyl lactate, octyl isonoonanoate, isostearyl isononanoate, isononyl isononanoate, cetyl isononanoate, cetyl stearate, stearyl lactate, stearyl octanoate, stearyl heptanoate, stearyl stearate, and combinations of two or more thereof.

26. The method of claim 18 wherein the ester is selected from the group consisting of octyl isononanoate, isopropyl palmitate, butyl stearate, and combinations of two or more thereof.

27. The method of claim 18 wherein said volatile cyclic silicone carrier comprises decamethylcyclopentasiloxne, said silicone-based powder-feel agent comprises a silicone elastomer blend, hydrophobic silica, or a combination thereof, and said ester comprises octyl isononanoate, isopropyl palmitate, butyl stearate, diisopropyl adipate, triisostearyl citrate, or a combination of two or more thereof.
