Abstract: A UHT process for the manufacture of an aqueous antiperspirant composition comprising the steps of: (i) mixing aluminium-containing antiperspirant salt, water soluble calcium salt, amino acid, and water, (ii) heating the mixture to a temperature of greater than 100° C. at a pressure of greater than 1 Bar (100,000 Pa) and (iii) restoring the mixture to ambient temperature and pressure.

Abstract: An oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic composition comprising solid particulates of 2-hydroxystearic acid having a particle size distribution such that 99% or more by weight have a particle size of less than 125 microns and a method of manufacture of such a composition.

Abstract: The invention provides a non-aqueous oral care composition with a liquid continuous phase comprising a thickening agent, a humectant, and one or more liquid polyethylene glycols having a melting point below 25° C., in which the liquid continuous phase is structured with crystals of one or more solid polyethylene glycols having a melting point of 25° C. or above. The rheological behaviour of the composition of the invention corresponds well with the characteristic rheological behaviour of typical aqueous dentifrice formulations.

Abstract: An opaque toothpaste composition and method for making such, the toothpaste comprising water, a zinc salt, a chelating agent for the zinc salt, the chelating agent having a log Ks1 as herein defined of from 3.0 to 7.0, and an abrasive present at from 10% to 70% by weight of the composition, said abrasive comprising calcium carbonate.

Abstract: Toothpaste and method for making such, the toothpaste comprising calcium carbonate as abrasive, water and zinc salt substantially all of which is in the form of water-solubilised zinc citrate.

Abstract: A visually clear gel toothpaste composition comprising a sparingly soluble divalent metal salt, characterised in that the sparingly soluble divalent metal salt is fully solubilised by a chelating agent for the metal salt, the chelating agent having a log Ks1 for the divalent metal ion as herein defined of from 3.0 to 7.0.

Abstract: Multiphase toothpaste composition comprising a first phase disposed co-axially within a second phase, each of the phases having a viscosity of from 180 000 to 250 000 mPa·s.

Abstract: An oral composition with an improved teeth whitening effect, comprising a first formulation comprising an effective amount of a peroxy amido phthalamide having the structural formula: 1

Abstract: Oral composition comprising from 1 to 60% by weight of the total composition fine ground natural chalk (FGNC), characterised in that the FGNC comprises particulate matter of weight-based median particle size ranging from 1 to 15 &mgr;m and BET surface area ranging from 0.5 to 3 m2/g.

Abstract: Oral non-food composition comprising an active agent which is substantially insoluble in water at room temperature and pressure and a silicone with a viscosity within the range 10×10−3 to 90×10−3 m2s−1 at 25° C., said composition obtainable by mixing said active agent and silicone before adding said mixture to the remaining ingredients of the composition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to oral care compositions with an improved teeth whitening effect. This effect is achieved by inclusion in the oral care compositions of certain organic peroxy acids as teeth whitening/bleaching agents, particularly peroxyamidophthalamides together with hydrogen peroxide.

Abstract: Oral composition comprises a first formulation stored adjacent a second formulation for simultaneous dispensing, wherein the pH the first formulation differs from the pH of the second formulation by at least one pH unit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an effervescent oral care composition with improved interproximal delivery properties. The composition comprises a first composition with about 2.5% by weight of an alkalimetal bicarbonate and a second composition with an acidic compound. Upon bringing the two compositions into contact with each other, e.g. by extruding them from a multicompartment container through a single outlet orifice, the alkalimetal bicarbonate and the acidic compound react with each other, causing an effervescent effect. By using 0.02% to less than 0.5% by weight, calculated on the total weight of the oral care composition, of the acidic compound, the interproximal delivery properties of the composition are significantly improved.
