Abstract: Oral care compositions and methods for treating, preventing, or inhibiting dry mouth and/or inflammation of the oral cavity or a surface thereof are disclosed. Oral care compositions for improving oral care by treating, preventing, or otherwise inhibiting discomfort, irritation, or gum pain of the oral cavity are also disclosed. The oral care composition may include an orally acceptable vehicle, hyaluronic acid, and one or more benefit agents. The method for treating, preventing, or inhibiting dry mouth and/or inflammation of the oral cavity or a surface thereof may include contacting the oral cavity or the surface thereof with the oral care compositions.

Abstract: Aspects of the invention are directed to oral care compositions. In accordance with an aspect, provided is an oral care composition having a surfactant system comprising at least one of: (i) a non-sulfate based anionic surfactant and an amphoteric surfactant, or (ii) a nonionic surfactant and an amino acid surfactant; a stannous ion source; a nitrate ion source; and a phosphate source.

Abstract: This application relates to novel aqueous oral care compositions useful for combining and delivering incompatible stannous fluoride or stannous chloride and potassium salts in a high-water composition, for example, to provide effective caries prevention, protection against dental erosion, and relief from dental hypersensitivity. The compositions comprise stannous fluoride or stannous chloride, nitric acid or a water-soluble nitrate salt, a water-soluble alkali metal polyphosphate, a taurate surfactant (e.g., sodium methyl cocoyl taurate) and more than 10% water, by weight of the composition.

Abstract: Described herein are oral care compositions having a surfactant system comprising four or more surfactants individually selected from a non-sulfate based anionic surfactant, an amphoteric surfactant, a nonionic surfactant, and an amino acid surfactant; a stannous ion source; a nitrate ion source; and a phosphate source. Methods of making and using these compositions are also described.
