The present invention relates to a composition comprising at least one fragrance ingredient, one or more solvents and water, a method for obtaining such a composition in the form of a homogeneous composition, and to the use of such a composition to release a fragrance in an atmosphere in a controlled way.

A composition for treating skin wounds of an individual is disclosed. The composition is an extract that contains Zinc Gluconate, Lysine, Taurine, Potassium Gluconate, Carboxy Methyl Cellulose, Glycerin, Allantoin, water, Hydrogen chloride (HCl), Lidocaine, Niacin, Valine, L-Isoleucine, Proline, L-Arginine, Threonine, Glutamine, Histidine, Serine, Asparagine, Tyrosine, Cysteine, and pentapeptide for example, Enkephalin. The composition could be applied to the affected skin for effectively treating skin wounds, reducing expression lines, and relaxing muscle contractions, thereby reducing skin wrinkles, and smoothening skin. The composition is provided in at least any one or more forms include a gel, a spray, liquid, lotion, and a cream. The composition maintains a pH balance ranges from about 6.5 to 7.5.

The present invention provides an odor-modulating agent that modulates malodors generated in daily living environments or industries to different odors so that harm caused by the malodors can be easily solved, and an odor-modulating method. Specifically, the present invention provides an odor-modulating agent comprising at least one oxygen-containing cyclic compound selected from the group consisting of furan compounds, pyran compounds, and cyclopentanone derivatives.

In a method for controlling unpleasant odors in discharge air from containers, rooms or plants in which strong smelling substances such as feces, waste or highly odorous foods are stored or processed, a fluid is introduced into the discharge air in a finely distributed form, which physically and/or chemically neutralizes the odor of the substances contained in the discharge air. The fluid is a 0.1% to 8% aqueous solution of an active substance concentrate which is 55-65 wt.-% triethylcitrate, 17.5 to 22.5 wt.-% 1,2 propanediol and 17.5 to 22 wt.- % di-propylene glycol-methylether. Alternatively, the fluid can also be a mixture of a suitable propellant gas mixture and the active substance concentrate specified above.

The present disclosure relates to an antibacterial composition, a filter using the same, and a home appliance such as an air conditioner comprising the filter. More specifically, the antibacterial composition according to the present disclosure comprises a polymer resin, and an antibacterial additive composed of an antibacterial metal and an antibacterial metal oxide, and thus a filter manufactured therefrom has excellent antibacterial activity and also maintains antibacterial performance even if washed.

An improved technology for inactivation of viruses, for example the SARS-CoV-2 virus that is causing the Covid-19 pandemic, is described. The technology can include a device that includes a substrate coated in a polymer that is infused with a pathogen inactivating material. In various embodiments, at a given time, a portion of the pathogen inactivating material is exposed to the environment, and the device is configured to periodically or intermittently expose additional pathogen inactivating material to the environment. For example, the polymer can be ablative or sacrificial.

A piezoelectric dispenser includes a refill having a container having a neck and defining a fluid reservoir, a wick holder affixed to the neck, and a wick retained by the wick holder that has an upper end that is in communication with a piezoelectric assembly, the wick defining a longitudinal axis. The dispenser further includes a housing having a base and an overhanging cover that defines a fluid outlet and extends inward from the base at a shoulder, toward the longitudinal axis, the overhanging cover being disposed around and above the upper end of the wick and housing the piezoelectric assembly. The piezoelectric assembly includes a coil compression spring and the base is provided on a rear side of the refill with the left, right, and front sides being exposed to a surrounding environment after the refill has been coupled with the overhanging cover.
