Abstract: An oral care device may include: a body including a head; a plurality of teeth cleaning elements extending from the head; a first electrode on the head; a second electrode on the head and spaced apart from the first electrode, wherein at least one of the first and second electrodes is a sacrificial electrode; a power source; and a controller configured to operably couple the power source to the first and second electrodes to create an electric potential between the first and second electrodes so that ions are released from the sacrificial electrode during a brushing session; wherein the controller is configured to change a magnitude of the electric potential the brushing session ends.
Abstract: An oral care implement for dispensing an oral care agent includes a housing, reservoir therein containing an oral care fluid, and an electrical circuit comprising first and second electrodes connected to an onboard power source. Each electrode is in contact with the oral care fluid in the housing. An actuator, operably coupled to the power source, is configured to both selectively energize the circuit and activate dispensing of the oral care fluid. An electrical charge is applied to the oral care fluid by activating the actuator when dispensing the oral care fluid. When the fluid comprises a peroxide based tooth whitening agent, the dispensed fluid pH is increased by the electrical charge which improves the efficacy of the whitener. In one embodiment, the implement is a modular system including a powered base unit and one or more interchangeable cartridges each having a reservoir containing an oral care fluid.
Abstract: An apparatus for treatment of teeth, including one or more dental treatment applicators having at least two walls and a floor, the walls and floor defining a well configured to accommodate at least one human dental arcade and an active agent. Furthermore, one or more energy-applying elements such as electrodes or light sources are located on at least one of the walls.
Abstract: Described herein are aerosol compositions useful for deodorant and/or antiperspirant applications. Such compositions are substantially free of cyclomethicone. Also described are methods of making and using the same.
Abstract: The application relates to personal care products (e.g., deodorants and/or antiperspirants) that can provide a sweat reduction effect without the use of aluminum salts. In one aspect, the compositions comprise a metal oxalate (i.e., potassium oxalate or potassium titanium oxalate). Methods of preparing the personal care composition and uses of the personal care composition are also disclosed.
Abstract: Disclosed herein are skin care compositions, comprising vitamin E (e.g., alpha-tocopherol), a thiourea derivative of histidine (e.g., ergothioneine), a vitamin B3 compound (e.g., niacinamide) and/or a pyrrolidone carboxylic acid and/or a salt thereof (e.g., sodium PCA) as well as to methods of using these compositions.
