Abstract:
A rapidly dissolvable orally consumable film composition for delivering breath freshening agents to the oral cavity wherein the composition is formed from a homogeneous mixture of a water soluble, low viscosity hydroxyalkylmethyl cellulose and a water dispersible starch and a flavoring agent.
Abstract:
The invention relates to oral care compositions comprising a first stannous ion source, a second stannous ion source, wherein the second stannous ion comprises stannous pyrophosphate, and a source of zinc selected from zinc oxide, zinc citrate, zinc lactate, and combinations thereof, and a humectant system comprising glycerin and sorbitol, and a thickening system, as well as to methods of using and making these compositions.
Abstract:
An electrolysis device may include: a housing comprising a container having an open end, the container configured to contain a liquid when the container is oriented in an upright position; and an electrolysis circuit comprising: a power source; a plurality of electrodes disposed within the container and electrically coupled to the power source; an orientation switch electrically coupled to the power source, coupled to the housing, and oriented to switch when the container is oriented in the upright position; and a control circuit electrically coupled to the power source, the electrodes, and the orientation switch, wherein the electrolysis circuit is configured to operate when the electrodes pass an electric current above a predetermined current threshold and the container is oriented in the upright position.
Abstract:
An oral care composition, including a peroxysulfate whitening agent, a non-aqueous dispersant having a non-aqueous liquid, and a structural builder.
Abstract:
Described herein are oral care whitening compositions comprising a non-aqueous phase comprising a peroxysulfate whitening agent, a hydrophobic base and at least one hydrophilic polymer, and optionally an aqueous phase comprising at least one hydrophilic polymer. Methods of making and using these compositions are also described herein.
Abstract:
Provided is a tooth whitening composition including at least one whitening agent, at least one bleach activator, at least one abrasive, and at least one anticalculus agent.
Abstract:
A powered toothbrush includes a handle, a power source disposed in the handle, a head including a cavity disposed at a distal end of the handle, an electrically conducting element disposed in the cavity and electrically connected to the power source, and a movable cleaning element connected to the head and movable relative to the cavity. The movable cleaning element includes a tooth cleaning support member, a tooth cleaning element mounted on the support member, and a ferromagnetic member. Application of an electrical current to the electrically conducting element generates a magnetic field at the electrically conducting element. The magnetic field selectively at least one of attracts and repels the ferromagnetic member to move the movable cleaning element relative to the electrically conducting element.
