Abstract:
The invention provides antibacterial combinations of essential oils comprising bisabolol and one or more essential oils selected from citral, carvacrol, oregano extract, and rosemary, or comprising carvacrol and one or more essential oils selected from bisabolol, thymol, and rosemary, together with compositions, e.g., oral care compositions, comprising these combinations, and uses therefore.
Abstract:
Procedures are provided to evaluate the effectiveness of slow-acting antibacterial agents such as metal salts on reduction of bacterial oral biofilm. In the modified process, the exposure time of the agent is increased from the usual 3 minutes to 7-15 minutes, e.g., about 10 minutes, and the duration increased to 5-12 days, e.g., about 8 days instead of the conventional 3 days.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are improved methods for the manufacture of arginine-based dentifrice compositions comprising the use of a solution of arginine free base (e.g., L-arginine) in concentrated aqueous sorbitol solution.
Abstract:
This invention relates to oral care compositions comprising a cannabinoid, and one one more source(s) of zinc ions and/or stannous ions. The oral care composition may also comprise one or more stannous source(s). Methods of using and of making these compositions is also disclosed herein.
Abstract:
This invention relates to solid oral care compositions, for example a tablet, comprising a binder system. In certain aspects the invention is directed to solid oral care compositions that are tablets that comprise a binder system, wherein the binder system comprises polyvinyl pyrrolidone and hydroxyethyl cellulose, and to methods of using and of making these compositions.
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 in vitro method for demonstrating the stain removal efficacy of an oral care composition comprising (a) providing a substrate, (b) providing a staining solution, (c) providing a treatment solution comprising the oral care composition, (d) immersing the substrate in the staining solution, (e) removing the substrate from the staining solution, (f) evaluating the color of the stained substrate, (g) applying the treatment solution to the substrate and (h) evaluating the color of the treated substrate, wherein the staining solution comprises coffee is provided.
Abstract:
Surface staining can be minimized or eliminated by providing an oral care composition comprising a first film comprising a pigment; and optionally a second film; wherein the first film has a dissolution rate in aqueous media that is inversely proportional to its thickness, wherein the first film is in the form of a particle.
Abstract:
A composition of matter comprising an oil adduct synthesized by an oil and an addition material, wherein the oil includes at least one member chosen from an ethoxylated oil, a hydrogenated oil, and an ethoxylated and hydrogenated oil; wherein the average degree of ethoxylation in the ethoxylated (optionally hydrogenated) oil is less than about 10 based on moles of ethylene oxide per mole of oil; wherein the hydrogenated (optionally ethoxylated) oil has an iodine value of less than about 75; wherein the oil is capable of undergoing reaction with the addition material through a hydroxyl group of the oil; and wherein the addition material includes at least one member chosen from carboxylic acid anhydrides, maleic anhydride, dicarboxylic acids, fumaric acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, alpha hydroxy acids, beta hydroxy acids, lactic acid, glycolic acid, lactobionic acid, carnitine, salicylic acid, and (meth)acrylic acid.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to oral care compositions comprising amino acids and a cannabinoid. Methods of making and use are further provided.
