Abstract:
A computer-implemented method includes a step of presenting an indication of a health profile of a person based on information obtained from an oral care implement such as a toothbrush. The toothbrush may include sensors. Also, a method includes displaying an indication of a history of the health profile of a person based on second information previously received from the oral care implement.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a cleaning composition that contains at least two surfactants selected from a cationic surfactant, a nonionic surfactants, a linear alkyl benzene sulfonate salt, a sulfated alcohol ethoxylate, an amine oxide, and an amphoteric surfactant; and a fragrance compound. The cleaning composition has a Cup test value of at least about 70% of the standard reference formula and a QFR value of at least about 20%. Also disclosed are related methods of fragrance delivery including application and use of the composition.
Abstract:
An aluminum-free antiperspirant/deodorant composition is disclosed. The aluminum-free antiperspirant/deodorant composition may include an oil-in-water emulsion base and an antiperspirant active dispersed in the oil-in-water emulsion base. The antiperspirant active may be primarily an amino acid, calcium carbonate and optionally a zinc-based antiperspirant active and the oil-in-water emulsion base may include an emulsifier having a mixture of steareth-2 and steareth-20; a plant-based oil, a polyol, and water. The zinc-based antiperspirant active may be free of zinc oxide-amino acid-halide complexes, amino acid-halides, and chelated zinc oxide complexes.

Abstract:
A fluid delivery system usable in an oral care implement and a reservoir containing a flowable substance. A capillary channel formed, of one or more wicking or capillary members extends through at least a portion of the oral care implement to deliver flowable substauce(s) through one or more outlets via capillary action. In one embodiment, the rate of fluid flow through the capillary channel is different in at least a first flow section than in a second flow section. In another embodiment, the rate of flow between flow sections of the wicking member is different than in at least one of the flow sections. A variety of flowable substances can be administered for therapeutic, hygienic, and/or other benefits, such as fresh breath, tooth whitening, tooth sensitivity, plaque and/or tartar control, or producing sensations of heat, cool, or tingling.
Abstract:
An oral care system and method wherein a dispenser is mounted to the handle of an oral care implement, such as a toothbrush. The dispenser holds an oral care material and is alterable between a storage state wherein a dispending end of the dispenser nests within the handle and an application state wherein the dispensing end of the dispenser is un-nested and exposed for oral care use. In one aspect, the invention is an oral care system comprising: an oral care implement comprising a head, a handle having a longitudinal axis, and one or more oral surface engaging elements; a dispenser having a reservoir containing an oral care material and an applicator for dispensing the oral care material from the reservoir; the dispenser alterable between: (i) a storage state wherein the applicator or the dispensing end of the dispenser is nested within the handle; and (ii) an application state wherein the applicator or the dispensing end is un-nested from the handle and exposed for oral care use.
