Abstract:
The present disclosure provides low water dentifrice compositions comprising an effective amount of a zinc ion source, a tin ion source, a polyphosphate and an acid. The acid lowers the pH of the composition to enable stabilization of the metal ions and extend shelf-life of the composition.
Abstract:
An oral care composition comprising: (a) arginine, in free or salt form; and (b) zinc oxide and zinc citrate. The oral care composition can reduce or inhibit biofilm formation in an oral cavity.
Abstract:
Provided is an oral care composition comprising a phosphate/acrylate co-polymer, a tartar control agent, and an orally acceptable carrier and methods of using the same.
Abstract:
The invention provides high water content dentifrice compositions comprising a silica abrasive and a component containing microcrystalline cellulose and carboxymethylcellulose, as well as methods of making and using the same.
Abstract:
Described herein are dentifrices comprising a first formulation and a second formulation, wherein the formulations are coaxially extruded, so that the first formulation enrobes the second formulation, wherein the first formulation is opaque and wherein the second formulation comprises dissolvable film fragments, together with methods of making and using the same and containers for providing the same.
Abstract:
Flavour components for use in oral care compositions containing a metal salt, compositions comprising the flavour components, and methods of making and using the same. The flavour components comprise a taste -masking agent comprising cinnamic aldehyde, eugenol and eucalyptol and one or more flavouring agents selected from L-menthol, N- ethyl -p -menthane - 3 - carboxamide, anethole, peppermint oil, spearmint oil and corn mint oil. In particular the metal salt is zinc citrate.
Abstract:
An oral care composition for treating or preventing calculus comprising an anticalculus agent and an antibacterial agent comprising a biphenol compound obtainable from Magnolia officinalis , wherein the composition is free of phosphate-containing anticalculus agents.
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:
The invention encompasses non-aqueous dentifrice compositions containing a bioacceptable and bioactive glass with improved mouth-feel, foam, and product stability. More particularly, the invention encompasses non-aqueous compositions including combinations including carrageenan and/or carboxymethlycellulose gums, glycerin, ethylene oxide/propylene oxide copolymers, and a bioactive glass and methods of use the compositions in an oral care product, for example, a whitening toothpaste, for hypersensitive teeth.
