Abstract:
An antiperspirant active composition comprising an aluminum salt, the aluminum salt (i) having an aluminum to chloride molar ratio of 0.3:1 to 3:1; and (ii) having a species of polyhydroxyoxoaluminum cation detectable it 76 ppm by 27Al NMR that is present in a relative abundance on a 27Al NMR spectrograph that is greater than an other polyhydroxyoxoaluminum cation detectable by 27Al NMR. Also, disclosed are methods of making the antiperspirant active.
Abstract:
Described herein are oral care compositions comprising an effective amount of aluminum chlorohydrate suspended in a carrier for preventing, reducing or inhibiting dentinal hypersensitivity, the aluminum chlorohydrate exhibiting a SEC chromatogram having a SEC Peak 4 to Peak 3 intensity ratio of at least 7 and a Peak 4 intensity greater than a Peak 5 intensity; and methods of using the same.
Abstract:
Described herein are methods of cleaning a tooth comprising administering a composition comprising a zinc amino acid halide complex to the oral cavity; and retaining the composition in the oral cavity for a time sufficient to form a precipitate.
Abstract:
The invention provides oral care compositions comprising a mixture of tetrabasic zinc halide and trimethylglycine, in free or orally acceptable salt form. Methods of making and using the compositions are also provided.
Abstract:
An aluminum salt composition comprising (a) an aluminum salt having an aluminum to chloride molar ratio of about 0.3:1 to about 3:1, an OH:Al molar ratio of about 2:1 to about 2.6:1, exhibiting a Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC) chromatogram having a SEC Peak 4 to Peak 3 intensity ratio of at least 7, and a Peak 4 intensity greater than a Peak 5 intensity in aqueous solution, and (b) at least one buffer chosen from an amino acid, glycine, and betaine, wherein a molar ratio of buffer to aluminum is about 0.1:1 to about 3:1.
Abstract:
A method for indicating release of an antibacterial agent or for indicating an amount of time for cleansing skin with an aqueous cleansing composition comprising a surfactant and a zinc X halide complex, wherein X is an amino acid or trimethylglycine, wherein the method comprises washing skin with the cleansing composition and water for a time until the zinc X halide complex precipitates from the aqueous cleansing composition.
Abstract:
A method of producing an anhydrous antiperspirant composition comprising (a) providing a mixture of at least one antiperspirant active including a metal salt, and an anhydrous carrier for the at least one antiperspirant active in which the at least one antiperspirant active is dissolved, the carrier comprising a eutectic mixture of at least one basic compound selected from a basic amide and a basic amine and at least one member chosen from a cation and zwitterion; and (b) heating the mixture to form a stabilized eutectic system of the at least one antiperspirant active and the anhydrous carrier, and wherein the at least one antiperspirant active, the at least one basic compound and the at least one member chosen from a cation and zwitterion form a ternary eutectic system.
