Abstract:
This application provides, among other things, oral care compositions where the addition of a stabilizing amount of a nonionic gelling and thickening agent, (e.g., hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC)), to formulations comprising a bisbiguanidine (e.g., chlorhexidine (CHX)) agent allows for proper structure and consistency to the formulation and to allow it to be used as a gel or a toothpaste to facility delivery of chlorhexidine, among other actives, to the teeth or gums.
Abstract:
Described herein is an oral care kit comprising an oral care implement having a first reservoir containing a first oral care agent comprising a first whitening reagent that includes triacetin; and a container having a second reservoir containing a second oral care agent, the second oral care agent comprising a catalytic enzyme and a second whitening reagent that includes peroxide forming compound.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a solid composition for oral care comprising at least one whitening agent chosen from chloride isocyanurate and metal salts of hypochlorite; at least one carbonate base; and optionally at least one effervescent acid. Further disclosed herein is a kit comprising the solid composition and an aqueous liquid composition, as well as methods of whitening teeth and/or producing antibacterial effects in the oral cavity comprising mixing the solid composition with an aqueous liquid composition until the solid composition disintegrates to create a mouthwash comprising hypochlorite; and contacting teeth with the mouthwash comprising hypochlorite.
Abstract:
An oral care product, a whitening composition thereof, and methods for the same are disclosed therein. The oral care product includes an orally acceptable vehicle and the whitening composition. The whitening composition includes a whitening booster and a source of hydrogen peroxide. The whitening booster includes a salt of a monopersulfate.
Abstract:
Described herein are whitening compositions comprising a peroxide source, and an adhesion system comprising a hydrophobic component comprising a silicone adhesive; and a dental surface adhesion enhancing agent, which are physically stable and effectively provide whitening. Methods of making and using these compositions are also described herein.
Abstract:
Described herein are films comprising a zinc-containing compound and a film-stabilizing ingredient, for use in oral and personal care compositions.
Abstract:
Film forming compositions and methods for preventing stains and increasing shine and gloss of teeth. The film forming compositions may include a polymer, such as a hydrophobic polymer, and an orally acceptable solvent. The hydrophobic polymer may include an acrylate component and a hydrophobic group coupled with one another. The hydrophobic group may include an alkyl chain, a polyethylene glycol, a polypropylene, a polyester, a polyorthoester, a phospholipid, a long chain fatty acid, a vinyl chloride, fluorethylene, a siloxane, a urethane, an octylacrylamide, a butylaminoethyl, a styrene, and combinations thereof.
Abstract:
A film forming composition and methods for preventing acid erosion of teeth and preventing the formation of caries on teeth are disclosed. The film forming composition may include a hydrophobic copolymer, a fluoride compound, and an orally acceptable solvent. The film forming composition may also include a cellulose derivative, a rosin, a fluoride compound, and an orally acceptable solvent.
Abstract:
Described herein are aqueous oral care compositions comprising (a) an effective amount of a basic amino acid in free or orally acceptable salt form; and (b) a polymer system comprising (i) a cellulosic polymer, (ii) a gum polymer, and (iii) a polyacrylate polymer or co-polymer; and methods of making and using the same.
