Abstract:
The present invention relates to a dentifrice which does not excessively stain toothbrush bristles, for example, a pigmented toothpaste formulations having a pigment system which comprises (i) a dissolvable or disintegratable film comprising one or more releasable pigments which are released during brushing, and (ii) titanium dioxide, wherein the level of titanium dioxide is 0.01-0.375% by weight of the toothpaste; together with methods of making and using the same.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to abradable films useful, e.g., in dentifrice formulations, wherein the film is stable in formulation, but abrades to release pigment or oral care active components upon brushing. The invention provides, e.g., an orally acceptable, water insoluble film which does not dissolve under formulation conditions but disintegrates upon brushing, comprising a polymer matrix, plasticizer (e.g., propylene glycol), releasable material (e.g., color or pigment) incorporated therein; and (optionally) nonionic surfactant (e.g. polysorbate), wherein the polymer matrix comprises at least 50%, e.g., at least 75%, of poly(vinyl alcohol), and 50% or less, e.g. 25% or less, of a water-soluble cellulose ether, for example hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose; together with dentifrice comprising such films, and methods of making and using the same.
Abstract:
Described herein are powder coated films comprising a polymer matrix designed for use in a children's toothpaste, compositions comprising the films; and methods of making and using the same.
Abstract:
Described herein are compositions comprising a film, wherein the film comprises a pigment, and is adapted to release the pigment at a specific point in time during use; and methods of making and using the same.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a mouthwash comprising an aqueous solution of an effective amount of an orally acceptable, soluble zinc salt together with an effective amount of a preservative selected from methylisothiazolinone (MIT), benzyl alcohol, glycerol monocaprylate, and combinations thereof; as well as to methods of using and of making such compositions.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a dual phase mouthwash comprising a hydrophilic phase, a hydrophobic phase, and a hydrotrope, wherein the hydrophilic phase comprises an effective amount of a preservative selected from methylisothiazolinone, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, and combinations thereof, as well as to methods of using and of making such compositions.
Abstract:
The invention encompasses liquid cleaning compositions, for example, dish washing liquids, and methods of their manufacture and use, which possess enhanced cleaning ability. The cleaning compositions of the invention include acidic light duty liquid cleaning compositions with low toxicity and antibacterial efficacy on surfaces, for example, hard surfaces.
