Abstract:
Described herein are aqueous compositions comprising polymers, which deliver a polymer film to surfaces of the oral cavity to relieve dry mouth; and methods of preparing and using the same.
Abstract:
An oral care composition and method are described in which the composition includes a film or a plurality of film fragments entrained in a carrier. The film or plurality of film fragments comprises zinc oxide. The composition and methods provide benefits including increased stability and shelf-life ensuring the delivery and bioavailability of zinc oxide.
Abstract:
A skin care composition comprising an acrylate polymer; a yield value increases and a surfactant. The composition has a yield value of at least about 4. Also included within the scope of the invention are related methods, such as methods of depositing a hydrophobic material on an epidermal surface and methods of incorporating a hydrophobic material into a skin care composition.
Abstract:
The disclosure provides a liquid hand soap or body wash, comprising (i) a surfactant system comprising C8-18 alkyl-ether sulfate, cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB), and N-(2 hydroxyethyl) fatty acid amide; (ii) a polyethylene oxide-polypropylene oxide block copolymer; and (iii) one or more polyalkoxylated mono- or di-fatty acid esters or amides, the composition allowing reduced surfactant levels, while still having good rheological properties.
