Abstract:
Compositions, such as personal care compositions, and methods for selectively inhibiting the growth of a detrimental bacteria and promoting the growth of a beneficial bacteria are disclosed. The composition may include a base and one or more fatty alcohols. The one or more fatty alcohols may be present in an amount effective to selectively inhibit the growth of at least one detrimental Gram-positive bacteria and promote the growth of at least one beneficial Gram-positive bacteria on skin. The detrimental Gram-positive bacteria may include Corynebacterium, and the beneficial Gram-positive bacteria may include Staphylococcus.
Abstract:
Disclosed are compositions suitable for use with an oral care implement. The compositions provide improved sensory appeal, and comparable reduction in volatile sulfur compounds and antibacterial activity to advanced formula toothpaste formulations. The compositions include a high percentage of antibacterial agent and flavoring, when compared to conventional toothpastes, and some mouth washes formulations, such that only minor amounts of the composition can be delivered to the oral care implement to provide improved reduction in volatile sulfur compounds, antibacterial efficacy, and optionally a cooling sensation.
Abstract:
Described herein are oral care compositions comprising an orally acceptable carrier; and a film, wherein said film comprises an odor controlling active; a mucoadhesive polymer; a release-rate modulating polymer; a polymeric base; and optionally a flavorant; and wherein said film controls release of said odor controlling active.
Abstract:
A container and product system comprising a container (100) adapted to house a product, the container comprising a substantially transparent multi-layered laminate body (110) and a product housed in the container, the product (200) comprising dyes, lakes, or both.
Abstract:
An anti-staining, antibacterial dentifrice comprises an anti-staining effective amount of an orally acceptable polymer or copolymer that comprises a plurality of monomeric groups of formula (I) wherein (a) one of A and A' is hydrogen and the other is a moiety (X) n (R) m , (b) n in individual such moieties is independently 0 or 1, (c) linking groups X if present independently comprise an oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen, phosphorus or silicon atom, (d) where n is 0, m is 1, and where n is 1, m is independently an integer from 1 to 3 as determined by X, (e) terminal groups R are independently hydrogen or C 1-18 organic radicals, and (f) M and M' are independently selected from hydrogen, alkali metal and ammonium; said polymer or copolymer having an average molecular weight of at least about 1,000. The dentifrice further comprises an antibacterial effective amount of an orally acceptable halogenated diphenylether antibacterial agent, and an antibacterial enhancing effective amount of an orally acceptable polyvinylmethylether/maleic anhydride copolymer.
Abstract:
Personal care compositions and methods for treating or reducing skin irritation or skin inflammation. The personal care composition may include a carrier, one or more plant oils, and a cannabinoid source. The one or more plant oils and the cannabinoid source may each be present in an effective amount to treat or reduce skin irritation or skin inflammation. The method for treating or reducing skin irritation or skin inflammation may include contacting the personal care composition with skin, and optionally, decreasing the amount of IL-1α in or on the skin.
Abstract:
Oral care compositions which provide enhanced flavour release, and which comprise a multilayer film and an orally acceptable carrier. The carrier contains a first flavour and the film has a centre layer containing a second flavour disposed between two outer surface layers. The first and second flavours may be identical or different. Each layer for the film may comprise a film forming polymer, e.g. hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose. The outer layers may comprise a release modulating agent, e.g. polyvinyl acetate or hydroxyethyl cellulose. The carrier may be a dentifrice or mouthwash.
Abstract:
A fluid dispensing oral care implement with fluid delivery system. The implement includes a storage member containing a fluid. A channel formed of one or more wicking or capillary members extends through at least a portion of the oral care implement to deliver fluid(s) through one or more fluid outlets via capillary action. In one embodiment, the fluid outlet is comprised of a wicking or capillary material and is disposed in the head of the implement. In some embodiments, the implement may include a valve and a specially configured storage cap. A variety of fluids can be administered for therapeutic, hygienic, and/or other benefits, such as fresh breath, tooth whitening, tooth sensitivity, plaque and/or tartar control, or producing sensations of heat, cool, or tingling.
Abstract:
The invention relates to personal care products containing multilayer films with decorative layers and may impart a noticeable color change. The invention is applicable in products including type toothpaste, soaps, and other products until diluted with water (or saliva).
