Abstract:
Generally regarded as safe (GRAS) dyes can be used as photosensitizing dyes in oral compositions to provide anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory efficacy. Embodiments include oral care compositions including photosensitizing dyes, methods of making the compositions, methods of using the compositions, and kits containing the compositions and light emitting devices.
Abstract:
A composition comprising at least one indicator, at least one light stabilizer, and at least one antioxidant. The composition is useful as a cleanser that provides a usage timer based on color change to indicate to a user that sufficient time has elapsed for cleansing.
Abstract:
Methods of preparing a dentifrice comprising polymer matrix film with a low solubility flavorant therein are disclosed. The methods comprise combining a polymer matrix film that are free of a low solubility flavorant with a dentifrice base comprising a low solubility flavorant and maintaining the combined polymer matrix film with the dentifrice base comprising low solubility flavorant for an amount of time sufficient for an amount of a low solubility flavorant to transfer from the dentifrice base comprising low solubility flavorant to the polymer matrix film Products comprising low solubility flavorant-free polymer matrix film in a dentifrice base comprising low solubility flavorant are also disclosed.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an oral care system comprising (a) a first composition comprising: (i) a peroxide-containing whitening agent; and (ii) at least one silicone polymer, and (b) a second composition comprising a polymer selected from polysaccharides, acrylate polymers, acrylamide polymers, and a mixture of any two or more thereof; wherein the first composition and the second composition are maintained separately from one another. The present invention also provides a method of whitening teeth using the oral care system.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an oral care composition comprising: (a) a first composition comprising a silica abrasive and a first zinc compound selected from zinc citrate, zinc chloride, zinc acetate, zinc lactate, zinc salicylate, zinc sulfate, and zinc nitrate; and (b) a second composition comprising a calcium carbonate abrasive; wherein the first composition and/or the second composition further comprises a second zinc compound selected from zinc oxide, zinc carbonate and zinc tartrate; and wherein the oral care composition optionally further comprises from 0.1 to 1.75 weight % of a tartar control agent, based on the total weight of the oral care composition.
Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to oral care compositions which enhance the solubility of rutin comprising rutin and at least one polyhydroxyalkyl alcohol. The present invention also relates to methods for use and manufacturing said oral care compositions.
