This invention relates to oral care compositions comprising arginine or lysine, zinc citrate and zinc oxide, fluoride source, and a silica abrasive which exhibits an acid pH when measured as an aqueous slurry as well as to methods of using and of making these compositions.

Oral care compositions and methods of use

This application provides, among other things, novel aqueous oral care compositions useful for combining and delivering poorly compatible ingredients, in particular, chlorhexidine and polyphosphate salts, by formulating the composition with a surfactant.

Oral care compositions

Described herein are oral care compositions comprising a combination of zinc oxide and zinc citrate, and methods of preparing and using the same.

Dentifrice composition comprising zinc oxide and zinc citrate

Described herein are oral care compositions comprising a basic amino acid; a combination of zinc ion sources; and from about 0.75 wt. % to about 2 wt. % of a chelating system; along with methods of making and using same.

Provided herein is a method for determining the bioavailability of a metal ion in a composition comprising a source of the metal ion, wherein the metal ion has antimicrobial activity, and wherein the method comprises: a) incubating a sample of the composition with bacterial cells, and b) determining the viability of the bacterial cells after incubation. The method is useful for determining the effect of agents on the bioavailability of metal ions in a composition.

Bioavailability of metal ions

An oral care composition and method are described in which the composition includes a film or a plurality of film fragments entrained in a carrier. The film or plurality of film fragments comprises zinc oxide. The composition and methods provide benefits including increased stability and shelf-life ensuring the delivery and bioavailability of zinc oxide.

Stabilization of zinc oxide film in oral compositions

Dentifrice compositions comprising zinc oxide and zinc citrate

Provided is an oral care composition comprising a phosphate/acrylate co-polymer, a tin salt, and an orally acceptable carrier, and methods of using the same.

Oral care compositions and methods

Described herein are films comprising a zinc-containing compound and a film-stabilizing ingredient, for use in oral and personal care compositions.

Oral and personal care compositions

Described herein are polymer matrix films, compositions comprising the polymer matrix films, and methods of preparing and using the same.

Higher loading zinc-containing films
