Abstract:
Oral care compositions comprising isobutyl magnolol and n -butyl magnolol. A method of enhancing the solubility of isobutyl magnolol in an oral care composition comprises admixing n -butyl magnolol with an orally acceptable carrier comprising isobutyl magnolol. The composition may be used to treat diseases or conditions of the oral cavity such as caries, gingivitis, periodontitis, tooth yellowing and halitosis.

Abstract:
Provided is an oral care composition comprising a peroxide source, a polyhydric alcohol and a surfactant system having an HLB value of from 4 to 13, wherein the combined amount of the polyhydric alcohol and the surfactant system is from 60 weight % to 95 weight % by total weight of the composition, and wherein the weight ratio of the polyhydric alcohol to the surfactant system is from 9:1 to 1:4. The composition is resistant to peroxide decomposition.
Abstract:
This application is directed to methods of assessing polymer deposition on dental surfaces using near infrared spectroscopy, providing a rapid and efficient method to screen for and identify optimal polymers for use in oral care formulations, (i) near infra red (IR) absorption of a dental substrate is measured in the absence of a polymer under test, and subsequently of the test sample comprising the dental substrate contacted with the test polymer. After washing or rinsing the test sample near IR of it is determined again (iii). The IR absorption of the test polymer itself is also measured (ii). Through the comparison of the three measurements (i), (ii), and (iii) the degree of deposition and retention of the test polymer on the test sample is determined.
Abstract:
A tooth whitening composition containing a complex of a triarylmethane dye in with a magnesium alkali metal silicate clay in combination with an orally acceptable carrier.
Abstract:
Described herein are oral care compositions comprising (i) a whitening complex comprising crosslinked polyvinylpyrrolidone complexed with hydrogen peroxide, and (ii) a hydrogen peroxide stabilizing agent comprising a clay comprising a lithium magnesium silicate or a sodium magnesium silicate, or a combination thereof.
