Abstract: The invention relates to methods of making films having active ingredients. A film that is substantially free of active ingredient is introduced into a medium comprising an active ingredient. At least a portion of the active ingredient is transferred from the medium to the film. The films can be used in a variety of applications, including oral care, personal care, cleansing and/or home care compositions.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are polymer systems and compositions comprising polymer systems, and methods of preparing and using the same.

Abstract: An oral carrier strip for the delivery of an oral care composition to the oral cavity of a human or animal subject is provided. The strip includes a first portion adapted to contact a front facing side of a plurality of teeth. A second portion is provided to be folded around the teeth so as to contact a back facing side of the teeth. The first portion has a first perimeter patterned to substantially match a shape of an outer gingival tissue, and the second portion has a second perimeter opposite the first perimeter and patterned to match a shape of an inner gingival tissue. The second perimeter defines an aperture disposed in the second portion having a rounded notch positioned in a center portion of the strip, configured to prevent the strip from tearing when folded around the teeth.

Abstract: Described herein, are dental strips comprising a film backing, and an adhesive layer, the adhesive layer comprising a water-swellable polymer and at least one active agent; and uses thereof.

Abstract: An orally consumable film composition for delivering breath freshening agents to the oral cavity which is rapidly dissolvable or dispersible in the oral cavity, the composition being comprised of a homogeneous mixture of a water dispersible film forming polymer and an enzyme.

Abstract: The invention provides oral compositions including a safe and effective amount of a compound represented by the formula (I): wherein R1 and R2 are independently selected from a hydrogen atom and an alkyl group and X? is an anion, and n is an integer of 1 to 25; and (b) a surfactant.
