Abstract:
Described herein are compositions comprising an unactivated liquid, an immobilized sparingly soluble acid or base, such that during storage the unactivated liquid is not in contact with the immobilized sparingly soluble acid or base, but upon use, the unactivated liquid contacts the immobilized sparingly soluble acid or base, whereby the pH of the liquid is altered, thereby activating the liquid to provide a benefit; together with variant and alternative designs, methods of making and using the compositions, and components thereof.
Abstract:
The invention provides novel dental film-forming compositions, comprising i. an acrylate / octylacrylamide copolymer, ii. one or more alkyl cellulose ethers, and iii. a solvent, and optionally further comprising whitening materials and/or active agents, together with method for using the same.
Abstract:
An oral care composition for treating or preventing calculus comprising an anticalculus agent and an antibacterial agent comprising a biphenol compound obtainable from Magnolia officinalis , wherein the composition is free of phosphate-containing anticalculus agents.
Abstract:
A composition of matter comprising an oil adduct synthesized by an oil and an addition material, wherein the oil includes at least one member chosen from an ethoxylated oil, a hydrogenated oil, and an ethoxylated and hydrogenated oil; wherein the average degree of ethoxylation in the ethoxylated (optionally hydrogenated) oil is less than about 10 based on moles of ethylene oxide per mole of oil; wherein the hydrogenated (optionally ethoxylated) oil has an iodine value of less than about 75; wherein the oil is capable of undergoing reaction with the addition material through a hydroxyl group of the oil; and wherein the addition material includes at least one member chosen from carboxylic acid anhydrides, maleic anhydride, dicarboxylic acids, fumaric acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, alpha hydroxy acids, beta hydroxy acids, lactic acid, glycolic acid, lactobionic acid, carnitine, salicylic acid, and (meth)acrylic acid.
Abstract:
Oral care compositions containing: a free-B-ring flavonoid and a flavan; as well as at least one bioavailability-enhancing agent are provided. Methods of using the oral compositions are also provided.
Abstract:
A rapidly dissolvable orally consumable film composition for delivering breath freshening agents to the oral cavity wherein the composition is formed from a homogeneous mixture of a water soluble, low viscosity hydroxyalkylmethyl cellulose and a water dispersible starch and a flavoring agent.
Abstract:
A confectionery composition delivering antiplaque agents to the oral cavity when applied thereto, the composition being comprised of a homogeneous mixture of a solid base material and an antibacterial ester having the formula (I); wherein R is an alkyl chain of 1 to 8 carbon atoms and R1 is an alkyl chain of 6 to 30 carbon atoms and X is an anion.
