Abstract:
A dentifrice composition containing, in combination, an orally acceptable vehicle; a halogenated diphenyl ether; a soluble zinc salt; and a chelating agent to reduce astringency.
Abstract:
A tooth whitening composition for whitening a surface of a tooth, the composition comprising a mixture of a whitening agent comprising an aqueous peroxide, a hydrophobic polymer carrier for adhering the tooth whitening composition to a tooth surface and at least one adhesion enhancing agent.
Abstract:
This invention relates to oral care composition, methods of use and methods of manufacture thereof including a single-tube, non-aqueous dentifrice whitening composition containing at least an enzyme and a substrate.
Abstract:
Disclosed are oral care compositions and the use of such oral care compositions for treating conditions caused by biofilm formation. Also disclosed are methods for inhibiting biofilm formation and/or degrading biofilm. The oral care composition includes a sesquiterpenoid and an antimicrobial agent, in which the sesquiterpenoid and the antimicrobial agent are present in an amount effective to inhibit and/or degrade a biofilm in the oral cavity.
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 a zinc compound and the carrier comprises a polysaccharide and a maleic anhydride copolymer. The composition and methods provide benefits including one or more of increased consumer acceptability, improved solubility of zinc thus permitting the use of lower amounts of zinc compounds and reducing the adverse astringency associated with zinc, decreased adverse reactions brought about by the presence of zinc ions, enhanced aesthetics, improved stability for active or other functional materials, and controlled delivery of active materials such as zinc.
Abstract:
Disclosed are dentifrice compositions comprising an orally acceptable vehicle and at least one source of metal ions in a polymer matrix, the metal being selected from zinc, stannous, copper or combinations thereof, the at least one source of metal ions comprising from 10 to 75 wt% of the total weight of the polymer matrix and the at least one source of metal ions, and wherein the dentifrice composition comprises less than 10 wt% water based on the total weight of the dentifrice composition. Also disclosed is a method of stabilizing at least one source of metal ions in a dentifrice compositions.
