This invention comprises a clear to translucent anhydrous stick or gel antiperspirant and/or deodorant product having low tack and comprising: (a) a solvent phase comprising: (i) 0.2-4.0 weight % dibenzylidene sorbitol; (ii) 0.05-1.0 weight % of a co-gellant or structural integrity enhancer; (iii) 25-75 weight % of a solvent selected from the group consisting of polyhydric alcohols; (iv) an effective amount of an antiperspirant or deodorant; and (v) 0.1-5 weight % dimethicone copolyol; and (b) an oil phase comprising: (i) 0.25-5 weight % of a silicone elastomer (on a solids basis) in a first dimethicone wherein the dimethicone has a viscosity in the range of 6-100 centistokes and a flashpoint in the range of about greater than 115 degrees C. to 300 degrees C.; and (ii) 1-25 weight % of a second dimethicone (including the dimethicone from part (b)(i)), wherein the second dimethicone may be selected from the same group or a different group than the first dimethicone; and (iii) 0-10 weight % emollients; wherein the oil phase is 5-50% of the composition and the solvent phase is 50-95% of the composition.

Antiperspirant product with dibenzylidene sorbitol and elastomer in dimethicone

A process which inhibits bacteria and caries comprising the application of an oral composition containing a substantially water insoluble noncationic antimicrobial agent, such as triclosan, xylitol, and sodium lauryl sulfate as the surfactant and dispersant for the water insoluble noncationic antimicrobial agent.

Process for inhibiting S. mutans and caries

A high foaming oral composition comprising in an orally acceptable vehicle, an effective antiplaque, antibacterial compound, and at least about 2% by weight of a mixed anionic/nonionic surfactant system in a weight ratio of about 7:1 to 2:1, respectively, which ratios are effective to increase the uptake of the antibacterial compound to dental tissue so as to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of the administered antibacterial compound.

Mixed surfactant, high foaming dentifrice exhibiting enhanced

A dual component antiplaque and whitening dentifrice composition in which the first component is a paste composition containing an antibacterial agent such as Triclosan and the second component contains a peroxide compound such as hydrogen peroxide in a vehicle thickened with a combination of an inorganic thickeners and an organic thickener other than an alkylene oxide polymer wherein the antiplaque and whitening efficacy of the components is unimpaired when the components are physically separated prior to use and thereafter are mixed upon application to dental tissue.

Dual component antiplaque and tooth whitening composition

A method for enhancing the antiplaque efficacy of an antibacterial dentifrice, comprising preparing a multicomponent dentifrice composition having a first dentifrice component containing an antibacterial agent and manganese coordination complex compound, and a second dentifrice component containing a peroxide compound; maintaining the first and second dentifrice components separately prior to use; combining the dentifrice components and applying the two components to the teeth and periodontium, whereby the dentifrice provides enhanced inhibition of plaque growth.

Method to enhance the antibacterial efficacy of antibacterial dentifrices

An antiplaque composition comprising a bacteriocin such as nisin and a polyphosphonate.

Oral composition

An oral composition dentifrice comprising an orally acceptable vehicle, about 5-30% by weight of a siliceous polishing agent, about 0.25-0.35% by weight of a substantially water-insoluble noncationic antibacterial antiplaque agent, such as 2,4,4'-trichloro-2'-hydroxydiphenyl ether (triclosan) and an antibacterial-enhancing agent which enhances the delivery of said antibacterial agent to, and retention thereof on, oral surfaces.

Antiplaque antibacterial oral composition

An oral composition dentifrice comprising an orally acceptable vehicle, about 5-30% by weight of a siliceous polishing agent, a substantially water-insoluble noncationic antibacterial antiplaque agent, such as 2,4,4'-trichloro-2'-hydroxydiphenyl ether (triclosan), and an antibacterial-enhancing agent which enhances the delivery of said antibacterial agent to, and retention thereof on, oral surfaces, wherein said antiplaque agent is substantially completely dissolved in saliva present during tooth and gum cleaning in a solubilizing agent therefor. The solubilizing agent may be a humectant polyol such as propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol and hexylene glycol; a cellosolve such as methy cellosolve and ethyl cellosolve: a vegetable oil or wax containing at least about 12 carbon atoms in a straight chain such as olive oil, castor oil and petrolatum; or an ester such as ethyl acetate, amyl acetate, glyceryl tristearate and benzyl benzoate.

An oral composition comprising in an orally acceptable vehicle, an effective antiplaque amount of an halogenated diphenyl ether or phenolic antibacterial compound, and an amount of an mixed anionic/nonionic surfactant system at weight ratios of about 14:1 to 9:1 which ratios are effective to increase the uptake of the antibacterial compound to dental tissue so as to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of the administered antibacterial compound.

Oral composition containing a mixed surfactant system for promoting

An oral composition such as a dentifrice, mouthwash, lozenge or chewing gum containing a polyphosphate anticalculus agent, such as tetraalkali metal pyrophosphate and antibacterial antiplaque agent compatible therewith. The antiplaque agent is a substantially water-insoluble noncationic antibacterial agent such as 2,4,4'-trichloro-2'-hydroxydiphenyl ether (Triclosan). Antiplaque effectiveness is optimized by the presence of an antibacterial-enhancing agent which enhances delivery of said antibacterial agent to, and retention thereof on, oral surfaces.
