Abstract:
Described herein are oral care compositions comprising (i) an orally acceptable gallium salt and (ii) a basic amino acid polymer, in amounts effective to disrupt biofilm; and methods of making and using the same.
Abstract:
Oral care compositions and methods are described in which the composition includes a chalcone color change component, which may be phenyl-3-methoxy-4-hydroxystyryl ketone. The color change component is induced to change colors by addition of saliva and/or by a change in pH of the composition. The composition and methods provide benefits including providing visual cues to the user.
Abstract:
Compounds are described that are effective in enhancing the efficacy of antimicrobial agents. Also described are methods of using such compounds and compositions that include such compounds. The composition includes a chalcone compound and, optionally, an antimicrobial agent.
Abstract:
Disclosed are oral care compositions and the use of such oral care compositions for treating conditions caused by biofilm formation. Also disclosed are methods for inhibiting biofilm formation and/or degrading biofilm. The oral care composition includes a sesquiterpenoid and an antimicrobial agent, in which the sesquiterpenoid and the antimicrobial agent are present in an amount effective to inhibit and/or degrade a biofilm in the oral cavity.
Abstract:
Described herein, are personal care compositions comprising a cleanser base comprising at least one cleanser selected from a soap and a surfactant; and an effective amount of an antibacterial system comprising a combination of phenoxyethanol and piroctone, or a salt thereof. Methods of making and using these compositions are also described.
Abstract:
A cleansing bar composition comprising at least one cleanser chosen from soap and surfactant; phenoxyethanol; and one or more hydrophobic stabilizing agents, wherein the composition is a solid cleansing bar. Also methods of enhancing the deposition of phenoxyethanol by a cleansing bar comprising the step of pre-mixing phenoxyethanol with one or more hydrophobic deposition aids during manufacturing of the cleansing bar.
Abstract:
An antibacterial composition comprising thymol and totarol. This combination provides synergistic effect against gram negative and gram positive bacteria.
