A method of warming food dispensable from an aerosol dispenser. The aerosol dispenser is made from materials which can go into a single recycling stream having a single class of materials, as defined by the Society of the Plastics Industry, and particularly may exclusively comprise Class 1 materials suitable for eating in a microwave oven. Consumer products, such as food, contained in the aerosol dispenser may be heated in a microwave oven prior to dispensing. Upon dispensing, food retains residual heat, and is suitable for eating or further cooking. Other heated products in the aerosol dispenser may be comfortably applied to the skin, used as air freshener, used for cleaning, etc. The aerosol dispenser may have indicia indicating the aerosol dispenser is suitable for microwave heating. The aerosol dispenser can have indicia indicating the aerosol dispenser is suitable for heating in a microwave oven. The indicia may be thermochromic, indicating when a desired temperature has been reached. The aerosol dispenser can have a safety valve, to safely relieve product and/or propellant pressure upon overpressurization in a microwave oven. The safety valve may be single use or reusable.

An aqueous compressed gas aerosol formulation in combination with a lined steel can, which may also optionally be tin plated, to provide corrosion stability, fragrance stability and color stability. An aerosol formulation of particular advantage for use is an air and/or fabric treatment formulation. The combination provides a compatibility which allows for the ability to use a broader fragrance pallet for the air and/or fabric treatment formulation which is aqueous based in major proportion. The formulation includes, in addition to an aqueous carrier, a fragrance, nonionic surfactant(s) or a blend of nonionic surfactant(s) and cationic surfactant(s), a compressed gas propellant(s), pH adjuster(s), and corrosion inhibitor(s). The formulation has a pH of about 8 to less than 10. The corrosion inhibitor(s) is(are) mild in strength and used in a minor amount.

The present invention relates to an antiperspirant cosmetic agent that includes at least one specific protein from Malvaceae of the genus Adansonia and is free of aluminum and/or zirconium halides and/or hydroxy halides. The present invention further relates to the use of a specific protein and to a non-therapeutic method for reducing body perspiration. Adding or using said at least one specific protein ensures that the sweat gland(s) is/are effectively influenced, thus resulting in a significant reduction in underarm sweat even in the absence of antiperspirant aluminum salts.

The present invention relates to a process for dyeing keratin fibres in which a mixture is applied to the fibres, this mixture being obtained from: a dye composition comprising at least one oxidation dye precursor, and an oxidizing composition comprising at least one chemical oxidizing agent, at least one of the compositions being dispensed from a pressurized container, the mixture of the two compositions comprising at least one thickening polymer chosen from: associative polymer, anionic non-associative polymer chosen from anionic polymers bearing sugar units, anionic polymers not bearing sugar units chosen from crosslinked acrylic or methacrylic acid homopolymers or copolymers, crosslinked 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid homopolymers and crosslinked acrylamide copolymers thereof, ammonium acrylate homopolymers, or copolymers of ammonium acrylate and of acrylamide, alone or mixtures thereof, and mixtures thereof; and also to a device suitable for performing this process.

The replacement of chlorofluorohydrocarbon propellants in medical aerosols is of the utmost importance to the pharmaceutical industry. A number of formulations have been investigated. The present invention provides a medical aerosol formulation comprising a particular medicament, a fluorocarbon propellant and 6 to 25% w/w of the total formulation of a polar co-solvent, such formulation being substantially free of surfactant. Canisters suitable for delivering such a pharmaceutical formulation are also provided.
