A solid oral care composition, e.g., a tablet or powder, comprising an alkali metal peroxymonosulfate as an effective bleaching agent for the bleaching of tenacious tooth stains, such as tobacco stains and coffee stains.

Peroxymonosulfate toothpowder composition for tenacious stains

An oral care composition, including a catalyzing enzyme and an anhydrous matrix configured to at least partially stabilize the catalyzing enzyme, wherein the anhydrous matrix includes a source of hydrogen peroxide, an acyl donor, a non-aqueous anhydrous liquid, and a surfactant mixture including sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), Betaine, and a poloxamer.

Oral care compositions

A whitening dentifrice composition includes a blue coloring agent, a zinc salt, and an orally acceptable vehicle. The blue coloring agent is selected from the group consisting of a blue pigment and a blue dye. The blue pigment has a blue to blue-violet color with a hue angle in the CIELAB system ranging from 200 degrees to 320 degrees. The whitening dentifrice composition provides a greater whitening benefit to a tooth surface in comparison to a dentifrice composition that does not contain the zinc salt.

Dentifrice including zinc and blue dye or pigment

An oral care composition including an enzyme and an anhydrous matrix that at least partially stabilizes the enzyme. The anhydrous matrix includes a source of hydrogen peroxide, an acyl donor, a non-aqueous anhydrous liquid, and a thickener.

Oral care compositions and methods for whitening teeth

An oral care composition including an orally acceptable vehicle is disclosed. The orally acceptable vehicle includes a source of hydrogen peroxide, an acyl donor, and an enzyme that catalyzes the generation of peracetic acid between the source of hydrogen peroxide and the acyl donor.

Described herein are compositions comprising an unactivated liquid, an immobilized sparingly soluble acid or base, such that during storage the unactivated liquid is not in contact with the immobilized sparingly soluble acid or base, but upon use, the unactivated liquid contacts the immobilized sparingly soluble acid or base, whereby the pH of the liquid is altered, thereby activating the liquid to provide a benefit; together with variant and alternative designs, methods of making and using the compositions, and components thereof.

Liquid activation system

Described herein are systems for removing selected components, e.g., stabilizing agents or preservatives, from a liquid composition just prior to use, using activated charcoal or an affinity matrix filter, together with variant and alternative designs, methods of making and using the product, and components thereof.

Mouthwash product and method of making and using the product

Described herein are compounds of Formula (I): or a salt thereof; wherein: R1 and R5 are independently selected from H, OH and alkoxy; R-Rand R-Rare independently selected from H, OH, F, Cl, Br, and I; Rand Rare independently selected from H, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, and aryl; with the proviso that: at least one of Rand Ris OH or alkoxy; and at least one of R-Rand R-Ris F, Cl, Br or I; compositions comprising said compounds; and methods of making and using the same. 

Compounds and compositions

Improved analytical, diagnostic, monitoring, and other methods (and their associated devices) for evaluating the extent of deposition of an agent onto a substrate are described. Exemplary methods may be used in the in the monitoring of the dental health of patients or in the fast, efficient screening and/or characterization of formulations in terms of their use for depositing oral actives onto tooth surfaces. The methods involve the direct or in situ analysis of substrates, onto which agents are deposited, using Near-IR spectroscopy and/or UV spectroscopy.

Analysis of substrates having agents deposited thereon

A stabilized oral care composition comprising a borinic acid derivative, e.g., a borinic ester.
