The present application relates to antiperspirant compositions comprising nitrogen-based and/or oxygen based perfume raw materials, and methods for making and using the antiperspirant compositions.

A method for extracting an essence or perfume oil from pistachio hulls, the method comprises separating the pistachio green hulls or velvet hulls from pistachio nuts using an industrial separator and subjecting the hulls to an extraction method, which causes release of the essence from essence containing glands, wherein the essence mixes with steam forming vapors. The method further comprises distilling the vapors to form a liquid comprising the essence mixed with an aqueous component and separating the essence from the aqueous component. Compositions and methods for extracting perfume oil from pistachio hulls are described.

The invention relates to a monopolymer multifunctional sequenced cast polyurethane matrix produced simply and efficiently, by sequentially pouring various isocyanate/polyol complex phase solutions successively into a mould with alternating solidification of said phase solutions according to a defined order and respecting the polymerisation stage (after the pot life and before the demolding time) of the sequence preceding the one being cast, so as to end with the casting of the last phase solution that will go up to the demolding time thereof and thereby finish the polymerisation of the whole of the matrix. It is loaded, in its “reservoir” sequences, with naturally originating or synthesised transdermally penetrating or volatile active substances. They are medicating and therapeutic, cosmetic, phytosanitary or wellness substances, repellents, attractants, pheromones, biocides, perfumes or deodorants. At least two active substances can be loaded into the same matrix in order to act unidirectionally or in opposite directions. Said matrix is used to form different devices that adhere to the skin or any other surface, in order to deliver at least one substance in a controlled manner. Said devices are patches, patches with a plurality of active substances, replaceable plasters stuck to a textile support, active heel pads and ball pads for shoes, pheromone cards for controlling insects, self-adhesive insecticide attractant cards, or other devices equivalent in terms of structure and function.

Systems and methods for scenting masks for providing a scent to a user include a mask system having a mask with an interior surface, an exterior surface, a right ear loop, and a left ear loop. Mask systems can also include a scenting assembly having a scented portion and an adhesive portion, where the scented portion includes an absorbent patch impregnated with a scented substance. The adhesive portion of the scenting system can be attached with the interior surface of the mask, such that when the mask system is worn by the user, aromatic molecules of the scented substance exit the absorbent patch and flow into the user's nose without the scented substance touching the user's skin.

A tablet having a deliquescent desiccant and a fragrance encapsulated on or within a binding agent, and wherein the encapsulated fragrance is derived from an essential oil. A method of making a tablet involves providing a deliquescent desiccant, encapsulating a fragrance by spray drying the fragrance on a carbohydrate, combining the deliquescent desiccant and the carbohydrate encapsulated fragrance, and pressing the combination into the tablet.
