Abstract:
A soluble zinc polyphosphate complex made by combining ingredients which include an organic zinc salt and a plurality of long chain polyphosphates having 6 or more phosphate polymer units, the organic zinc salt and long chain polyphosphates being mixed in amounts that provide a phosphorus to zinc mole ratio of 15:1 to about 55:1. Further provided is a method of making this soluble zinc polyphosphate.
Abstract:
Provided is a personal cleansing composition for application to the skin which comprises a zinc X halide present in an amount to provide at least 0.36 weight % of the composition of zinc, and a surfactant, wherein X is an amino acid or trimethylglycine. Methods of making and using the compositions are also provided. The zinc X halide is can be used to deliver zinc salts to reduce or prevent sunburn, kill bacteria, or reduce perspiration.
Abstract:
A composition comprising an aluminum chlorohydrate salt, the aluminum chlorohydrate salt having at least 50 mole % Al30 polyhydroxyoxoaluminum cation of all polyhydroxyoxoaluminum cations detectable by quantitative 27Al NMR within the aluminum chlorohydrate salt, and a buffer. The composition can optionally include zirconium. Also disclosed are a method of making an aluminum salt using an increased molar concentration of a starting aluminum salt with a buffer, a method of reducing perspiration with the aluminum chlorohydrate salt, and a method of treating water with the aluminum chlorohydrate salt.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are mouthwashes comprising a complex of a zinc ion source acid. Methods of making and using the compositions are also provided.
Abstract:
The invention provides a personal care composition for application to the skin which comprises a personal care composition for application to the skin or hair comprising a zinc X halide and a cosmetically acceptable base, wherein X is an amino acid or trimethylglycine. Methods of making and using the compositions are also provided. The zinc X halide is can be used to deliver zinc salts to block perspiration and provide antibacterial effects.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are dentifrices comprising a zinc amino acid halide, which provide a precipitate of zinc oxide upon use with dilution with water and/or saliva. Methods of making and using the dentifrices are also provided.
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 at 76 ppm by 27Al NMR that is present in a relative abundance on a 27Al NMR spectrograph that is greater than any other polyhydroxyoxoaluminum cation detectable by 27Al NMR. Also, disclosed are methods of making the antiperspirant active.
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.
