Abstract: A release composition for facilitating removal of shaped articles from a shaping surface. In one embodiment the release composition includes a water-soluble, no-cure dimethicone copolyol. The dimethicone copolyol may include polyoxyethylene and/or polyoxypropylene side chains. The composition is coated on a mold or mandrel surface and or the article and the article and surface is heated to shape the article. The composition prevents the article from adhering to the surface during heating, and thus prevents damage to the when the article is removed from the surface. Because the composition is water-soluble, it is easily washed from the article with water.

Abstract: A waterproof oil in water emulsion sunscreen composition is disclosed. The composition includes a film forming portion comprising between about 0.5 and about 20 weight percent of a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate together with a second polymeric film forming agent which increases the substantivity of the film forming composition. This second polymeric film forming agent is present at between about 0.5 and about 10 weight percent. The sunscreen composition also includes between about 1 and about 30 percent sunscreen agent and between about 0.5 and about 10 percent of an emulsifier. In addition, the sunscreen composition includes between about 45 and about 90 percent water. A method of forming the water in oil sunscreen composition is also disclosed.

Abstract: The specification discloses an antiplaque sugarfree chewing gum comprising gum base, polyol sugars, essential oils comprising antiplaque effective amounts of eucalyptol, methol, methyl salicylate and thymol, and a small amount of additional flavor oils.

Abstract: A gel-type sunscreen composition is disclosed. The composition includes between about 1 and about 30 percent of a sunscreen agent, between about 5 and about 20 percent polyethylene, and between about 20 and about 94 percent of an benzoate ester. A method of forming this composition is also disclosed.

Abstract: The specification discloses a fluoride toothpaste using a calcined kaolin abrasive which is at least 80% calcined and which has a particle-size distribution such that the majority of particles are between 1 and 10 microns in diameter, and not more than 35% of the particles are under one micron in diameter. The resulting toothpaste shows surprising efficacy in terms of fluoride availability, fluoride uptake on human enamel, enamel solubility reduction and polishing and stain removal.
