In one aspect, the present disclosure relates to oral care compositions comprising a source of zinc, a fluoride source, a zwitterionic surfactant and a taurate surfactant. In one aspect the compositions of the disclosure can be used for the treatment or reduction of erosive tooth demineralization, gingivitis, plaque, and dental caries. In one aspect the oral care composition includes zinc citrate, zinc oxide, arginine, cocamidopropyl betaine and at least one taurate surfactant (e.g., sodium methyl cocoyl taurate).

Oral care compositions

Disclosed herein are oral care compositions comprising a zinc amino acid halide complex, and a humectant system comprising polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol as structuring humectants, which compositions have improved rheological stability. Methods of making and using the compositions are also provided.

Rheological stabilization through mixed humectant systems in a zinc toothpaste

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.

Oral care compositions with reduced surface staining

Described herein are compositions comprising a film, wherein the film comprises a pigment, and is adapted to release the pigment at a specific point in time during use; and methods of making and using the same.

Film forming containing compositions comprising polyvinyl acetate and a pigment

Described herein are dentifrices comprising a first formulation and a second formulation, wherein the formulations are coaxially extruded, so that the first formulation enrobes the second formulation, wherein the first formulation is opaque and wherein the second formulation comprises dissolvable film fragments, together with methods of making and using the same and containers for providing the same.

Multiphase oral care compositions

Film containing compositions

Described herein are oral care compositions comprising an antibacterial agent and a dissolvable film comprising a pigment which provide a color change signal after a sufficient period of brushing, wherein the dentifrice base has water activity less than 0.78 and comprises anionic polymer in free or salt form 10-25% by weight of the dentifrice base, and anionic surfactant less than 3% by weight; together with methods of making and using the compositions.

Color changing compositions

The present invention relates to abradable films useful, e.g., in dentifrice formulations, wherein the film is stable in formulation, but abrades to release pigment or oral care active components upon brushing. The invention provides, e.g., an orally acceptable, water insoluble film which does not dissolve under formulation conditions but disintegrates upon brushing, comprising a polymer matrix, plasticizer (e.g., propylene glycol), releasable material (e.g., color or pigment) incorporated therein; and (optionally) nonionic surfactant (e.g. polysorbate), wherein the polymer matrix comprises at least 50%, e.g., at least 75%, of poly(vinyl alcohol), and 50% or less, e.g. 25% or less, of a water-soluble cellulose ether, for example hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose; together with dentifrice comprising such films, and methods of making and using the same.

Abradable films for use in oral care

The invention is a clear, elastomer-free, gel composition comprising: (a) 0.1-25 weight % of an antiperspirant active having a low metal to chloride ratio in the range of 0.9-1.3: 1; (b) 9-23.95 weight % of one or more volatile silicones having a flash point of 100 degrees C or less; (c) 0.05-0.5 weight % of a silicone surfactant having an HLB value&lE;8; (d) 30-70 weight % water; (e) 0-50 weight % selected water soluble organic solvents; and (f) 0-10 weight % of an emollient; wherein the composition is a liquid gel having a viscosity in the range of 5-50,000 centipoise and a ratio of oil phase to water phase in the range of 10:90 to 24:76.
