Abstract:
Disclosed is an oral care composition including (i) a calcium-based abrasive; (ii) a polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight ranging from about 1500 to about 6000 daltons; (iii) an anti-bacterial agent; and (iv) an orally acceptable vehicle. Methods of preparing the oral care composition and using the oral care composition to promote oral health are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Described herein are oral care compositions which contain antibacterial amounts of zinc, a calcium carbonate base; a gum system; and a natural ingredient component.
Abstract:
An oral care composition comprising a diluted sodium calcium alginate gel, wherein the oral care composition is a toothpaste, a gel, a mouthwash or a mouthrinse.
Abstract:
Provided is an oral care composition, e.g., a dentifrice, comprising a calcium abrasive, e.g., calcium carbonate, potassium nitrate (KNO3), and a basic amino acid, in free or salt form, e.g., arginine, in free or salt form, wherein the potassium nitrate is present in an amount of 0.1-1% by weight of the composition and methods of using the same.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an oral care composition used as a treatment for ulcerous conditions of the oral cavity, for example mouth ulcers and canker sores. The principal ingredients of the composition are Amla extract, Liquorice Extract, and a source of zinc. Further ingredients can include camphor, and carriers, solvents and excipients.
Abstract:
A method of determining the viability of a gum for use in making a product has been achieved by (a) mixing a sample of the gum in a solvent comprising one or more hydroxy moiety containing solvent compound to form a solution with the gum; (b) measuring the viscosity of the solution and comparing against a predetermined target viscosity for a product; and (c) comparing the viscosity of the solution and the predetermined target viscosity and discarding gum which is outside the predetermined target viscosity; and (d) using the gum which has a viscosity within the predetermined target to prepare a product; wherein another hydroxy moiety containing solvent is used if water is used as a solvent. Also described are compositions comprising the gum and solvent comprising one or more hydroxy moiety.
Abstract:
Described herein are toothpaste compositions comprising an orally acceptable vehicle; calcium carbonate; and a binder system comprising guar gum and at least one cellulose polymer.
