Abstract: This invention relates to oral care compositions, for example comprising a salt of a basic amino acid having a pH in solution of less than 7.5, an abrasive having a pH in solution of less than 7.5, and a fluoride ion source, and an acid selected from the group consisting of: a carboxylic acid (e.g., citric acid, lactic acid, glycolic acid, acetic acid, succinic acid, or fumaric acid), and an inorganic acid, wherein the inorganic acid is not phosphoric acid or sulfuric acid (e.g., wherein the inorganic acid is hydrochloric acid or sodium acid pyrophosphate), and to methods of using and of making these compositions.

Abstract: Described herein are methods for improving or maintaining the barrier integrity of gingival tissue comprising administering an oral care composition comprising a curcurninoid, to the oral cavity of a subject in need thereof.

Abstract: This invention relates to oral care compositions comprising herbal extracts including, e.g., Gymnema sylvestre, Emblica officinalis, Eugenia jambolana, Azadirachta indica, and combinations thereof and zinc salts, e.g., zinc citrate and zinc oxide. Additionally, the invention relates to methods of using and of making these compositions, e.g., method of using the oral care compositions to treat gingivitis in diabetic consumers.

Abstract: Described herein are—inter alia—complexes comprising a curcuminoid; and an anionic surfactant. Methods of making and using same are also described.

Abstract: Provided is an oral care composition, e.g., a dentifrice, comprising a calcium abrasive, e.g., calcium carbonate, potassium nitrate (KNO3), and a basic amino acid, in free or salt form, e.g., arginine, in free or salt form, wherein the potassium nitrate is present in an amount of 0.1-1% by weight of the composition and methods of using the same.
