Abstract: A variety of personal care compositions contain one or more of a cannabinoid, a Lewis acid salt inside of a vehicle to deliver the cannabinoid to a user. The vehicle that is used depends upon where the cannabinoid is to be delivered. For example, oral care compositions contain orally-acceptable carrier(s), skin care compositions contain vehicles that are compatible with the skin, and so on. Personal care compositions can take many product forms and can be used by humans or animals. Personal care compositions include, but are not limited to, mouthwashes, toothpastes, dentifrices, tooth gels, tooth powders, tablets, rinses, subgingival gels, foams, mousses, chewing gums, lipsticks, sponges, flosses, prophy pastes, petrolatum gels, denture products, deodorants, antiperspirants, pet foods and pet chews.

Abstract: Treated surfactant composition containing a water-soluble surfactant and exhibiting improved taste, said composition comprising: a water-soluble surfactant selected from alkyl phosphate surfactants, alkyl phosphate ethoxylated surfactants, betaine surfactants, betaine ethoxylated surfactants, amine oxide surfactants, and mixtures thereof and water; wherein the composition further comprises: less than about 4%, by weight of the water-soluble surfactant, of total undesirable non-polar materials; less than about 2.5%, by weight of the water-soluble surfactant, of alcohols having a carbon chain length of greater than 4; less than about 1%, by weight of the water-soluble surfactant, of amine and amide materials; and less than about 1%, by weight of the water-soluble surfactant, undesirable non-polar materials selected from aldehydes, esters, ketones, and organic acids. Such compositions wherein the compositions have been subjected to liquid-liquid extraction processes.

Abstract: Treatment for excess adipose tissue by applying an activating compound directly to a targeted area. The activating compound is a cyclohexanecarboxamide derivative. The activating compound promotes thermogenesis in cells to generate heat.

Abstract: Personal care compositions, such as oral care and skin care compositions comprising one or more coolants. The pleasant cool sensation provided by a coolant is enhanced in terms of quicker onset, greater intensity, impact or longer duration, which improves appeal and acceptability of the compositions to consumers. Also, a treatment for excess adipose tissue by applying an activating compound directly to a targeted area.

Abstract: Compositions useful in liquid-liquid extraction processes for improving the taste of water-soluble surfactants, said composition comprising: from about 5% to about 60%, by weight of the composition, of water soluble surfactant; from about 10% to about 90%, by weight of the composition, of water; from about 10% to about 90%, by weight of the composition, of extraction solvent; at least 0.01%, by weight of the composition, of undesirable non-polar materials; wherein the extraction solvent is selected from solvents having individual Hansen solubility parameters of a dispersion force component (?D) ranging from about 15 to about 17 (MPa)0.5, a polar component (?P) ranging from 0 to about 9 (MPa)0.5 and a hydrogen bonding component (?H) ranging from 0 to about 11 (MPa)0.5.

Abstract: Personal care compositions, such as oral care and skin care compositions containing a flavor/perfume system comprising one or more coolants. The pleasant cool sensation provided by a coolant is enhanced in terms of quicker onset, greater intensity, impact or longer duration, which improves appeal and acceptability of the compositions to consumers.

Abstract: Methods for detecting and quantifying toxins present in the oral cavity. The methods may include providing a biological sample, providing reporter cells expressing one or more Toll like receptors, exposing the cells to the biological sample, measuring the EC50 value of the lipopolysaccharide on activation of a Toll like receptor, quantification of the lipopolysaccharide in the biological sample.

Abstract: A method for identifying constituents for detoxifying oral virulence factors and a method for determining the effectiveness of detoxifying agents.

Abstract: A method for reducing a tetrazolium salt.
