Abstract:
Disclosed herein are methods of enhancing the solubility and delivery of one or more active ingredients found in magnolia extract, or a synthetic analog thereof, in an oral composition.
Abstract:
A composition comprising a zinc ion source for use in inhibiting the adherence to or invasion of oral soft tissue, such as gingival epithelial cells, by a periodontal pathogen is provided.
Abstract:
A personal care composition for application to the skin or hair comprising a cosmetically acceptable carrier and zinc X halide precursors wherein the precursors are a zinc ion source, an X source, and a halide source, wherein the halide source can be part of the zinc ion source, the X source, or a halogen acid, wherein the precursors can complex into the zinc X halide when the composition is applied to the skin or hair, wherein X is an amino acid or trimethylglycine. Methods of making and using the compositions are also provided. When the precursors complex into a zinc X halide, the complex can be used to deliver zinc salts to block perspiration and provide antibacterial effects.

Abstract:
Oral care compositions comprising isobutyl magnolol and n -butyl magnolol. A method of enhancing the solubility of isobutyl magnolol in an oral care composition comprises admixing n -butyl magnolol with an orally acceptable carrier comprising isobutyl magnolol. The composition may be used to treat diseases or conditions of the oral cavity such as caries, gingivitis, periodontitis, tooth yellowing and halitosis.
