A household product contains a fragrance composition, in which the fragrance composition contains from about 0.2 to less than 10% by weight of isopulegol, based on the total weight of the fragrance composition. A method for delivering a perceived cooling sensation in the air includes dispersing isopulegol into the air, or implementing the household product as the above.

An aqueous cleaning formulation is provided including a water; an essential oil, wherein the essential oil is selected from the group consisting of lavender oil, rosemary oil, thyme oil and mixtures thereof; a derivative of castor oil having a formula selected from formula I and formula II; an ethoxylated phenol having formula III; and a cleaning surfactant.

The present invention relates to an antimicrobial composition and more particularly an antimicrobial composition for leave-on applications. The present invention discloses an antimicrobial composition comprising; a) 0.01 to 2% by weight of thymol; b) 0.01 to 2% by weight of terpineol; and c) 0.1 to 2% by weight of a cationic phospholipid complex.

The invention provides the use of a surfactant as a corrosion inhibitor, wherein the surfactant is selected from derivatives of alkyl polyglucosides and derivatives of terpene alkoxylates, and mixtures thereof, provided that the derivatives are not sulfosuccinates. Also provided is a method of preventing or reducing corrosion of a metal component that is in contact with, or will be in contact with, an aqueous fluid, wherein the method comprises providing a surfactant and applying the surfactant to the metal component or adding the surfactant to the aqueous fluid that is in contact with, or will be in contact with, the metal component, wherein the surfactant is selected from derivatives of alkyl polyglucosides and derivatives of terpene alkoxylates, and mixtures thereof, provided that the derivatives are not sulfosuccinates.

The invention provides artificial tear compositions, artificial tear-gel compositions, contact lens storage compositions, contact lens treatment compositions, ophthalmological drug vehicle compositions and topical drug vehicle compositions comprising one or more nonionic surfactants with one or more non-Newtonian viscosity enhancing excipients and one or more of a polyol and or an electrolyte and methods of their use.

The present invention provides an antimicrobial composition comprising a) Thymol; b) Terpineol; c) Niacinamide or its derivatives thereof; and d) a cosmetically acceptable base.

The present invention relates to an antimicrobial composition comprising polyvalent metal salt of pyrithione; 0.001% to 3% by weight thymol, and 0.001% to 3% by weight terpineol; wherein, the ratio of % weight of polyvalent metal salt of pyrithione to sum of % weight of thymol and terpineol ranges from 0.005:1 to 200:1.

A lavatory cleansing block including: an alkane sulfonate; a carboxymethylcellulose; a dye; and a hydrophobe; wherein the weight ratio of carboxymethylcellulose to dye in the block is 1.5:1 to 0.8:2 and wherein the block is substantially free of guar gum.

The present invention relates to an antimicrobial composition and more particularly an antimicrobial composition for leave-on applications. The present invention discloses an antimicrobial composition comprising; a) 0.01 to 2% by weight of thymol; b) 0.01 to 2% by weight of terpineol; and c) 0.1 to 2% by weight of a cationic phospholipid complex.

Aqueous hard surface cleaner compositions useful for removing permanent ink are disclosed. The compositions comprise 75 to 99 wt. % of water; 0.1 to 5 wt. % of a monoterpene; 0.1 to 5 wt. % of a C.sub.10-C.sub.17 fatty acid derivative; and 0.1 to 5 wt. % of one or more surfactants. The fatty acid derivative is selected from N,N-dialkyl amides, N,N-dialkyl esteramines, and N,N-dialkyl amidoamines. Preferably, a base such as sodium carbonate or monoethanolamine is also included. The invention includes concentrates comprising the non-aqueous components recited above, as well as other applications for the cleaners and concentrates such as graffiti removers and permanent ink erasers. The combination of a monoterpene and certain fatty acid derivatives, especially fatty N,N-dialkyl amides, unexpectedly enables even dilute aqueous compositions to rapidly decolorize black permanent marker from hard, non-porous surfaces.
