Abstract: Provided are compositions suitable for treating acne, disrupting a biofilm, and/or killing bacteria contained in a biofilm. Certain compositions comprise a. about 0.1 wt. % to about 7.5 wt. % glycolic acid; b. about 0.1 wt. % to about 5 wt. % gluconolactone; c. about 0.1 wt. % to about 5 wt. % mandelic acid d. a glycol; e. a salt-tolerant thickening polymer, wherein the total amount of glycolic acid, gluconolactone and mandelic acid is less than about 15 wt. % of the total composition.

Abstract: Provided are methods of providing a benefit to the oral cavity by administering to the oral cavity a poorly-soluble calcium compound and subsequently introducing fluoride to the oral cavity.

Abstract: A personal hygiene product with a digital element includes an external personal hygiene product to absorb bodily fluids and a conductive sensor assembly disposed therein. The conductive sensor assembly includes a pair of conductive elements disposed in parallel in a mirrored image about the perimeter of the personal hygiene product and at least one connector directly contacting the pair of conductive elements, said conductive sensor assembly generating a signal indicative of fluid leakage of said personal hygiene product when fluid reaches the area between the pair of conductive elements. The conductive sensor assembly is arranged and configured to communicate with a smart hand held electronic device, either directly or through a wireless connection.

Abstract: A cleansing composition and method of using a cleansing composition, the cleansing composition including a blend of three different emollients, the emollients including a first stearic ester, a second stearic ester, and a branched hydrocarbon, where the first stearic ester and second stearic ester are different from each other.

Abstract: Provided are compounds described by the Formula I: wherein: R1 is a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated aliphatic group having from 5 to 22 carbon atoms; R2 is selected from the group consisting of the functional groups: —NH2; and salts thereof; n is from 0 to 4; and R3 is a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated aliphatic group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms. Also provided are compositions comprising, and methods of use of, the compounds of the present invention.

Abstract: A packaged elongate sanitary protection product includes a folded sanitary protection product enveloped in a substantially circular package and having first and second arcuate end portions comprising first and second ends, respectively, separated by a central portion. The topsheet and backsheet are joined in a flange surrounding the absorbent structure, and the absorbent structure comprises at least three intersecting, substantially circular sections aligned along a longitudinal axis. A first circular section is associated with the first arcuate end portion, and a second section is associated with the second arcuate end portion, and a central portion is associated with at least one intervening substantially circular portion. The intersections define folding axes perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and enlarged flange sections of the topsheet and backsheet. The product is folded at the fold lines and the enlarged flange sections are folded inwardly to give the product a generally circular form.

Abstract: A method of assessing and/or quantifying remineralization in a tooth model by exposing a tooth model to calcium and a calcium-binding fluorophore either sequentially or simultaneously under conditions sufficient to produce a remineralized/demineralized tooth model; exposing the remineralized/demineralized tooth model to a non-calcium binding fluorophore to produce an enhanced tooth model; and assessing and/or quantifying remineralization, demineralization, or both on the enhanced tooth model by determining the location and extent of calcium binding fluorophore and non-calcium binding fluorophore on the enhanced test tooth sample.
