Abstract:
The invention relates to a composite and oral care compositions for use in the mouth to retard the accumulation of dental plaque and/or calculus. The composite is a microaggregate comprising polymer coated, surfactant stabilized particles of a substantially insoluble metal, metal salt or metal oxide, for example zinc oxide. Also methods for retarding the accumulation of dental plaque and/or calculus are provided.
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 clear antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition is disclosed in the form of an emulsion having a refractive index less than 1.42 and comprising: (a) 25-70% of an external phase comprising: (i) 0.1-10%, on an actives basis, of at least one elastomer which is a cyclomethicone (and) dimethicone crosspolymer made with an =Si-H containing polysiloxane and an alpha, omega-diene of formula CH2=CH(CH2)xCH=CH2 , where x=1-20, to form a gel by crosslinking and addition of =Si-H across double bonds in the alpha, omega diene, which crosspolymer has a viscosity in the range of 50,000-3,000,000 centipoise; (ii) 0.1-5% of a silicone copolyol having an HLB value
