Abstract: Surface staining can be minimized or eliminated by providing an oral care composition comprising a first film comprising a pigment; and optionally a second film; wherein the first film has a dissolution rate in aqueous media that is inversely proportional to its thickness, wherein the first film is in the form of a particle.

Abstract: Described herein are compositions comprising a film, wherein the film comprises a pigment, and is adapted to release the pigment at a specific point in time during use; and methods of making and using the same.

Abstract: The invention relates to polymeric ultrafiltration or microfiltration membranes of, for instance, poly(ethylene chlorotrifluoroethylene) (HALAR®), PVDF or PP, incorporating PVME or vinyl methyl ether monomers. The PVME may be present as a coating on the membrane or dispersed throughout the membrane or both. The membranes are preferably hydrophilic with a highly asymmetric structure with a reduced pore size and/or absence of macrovoids as a result of the addition of PVME. The PVME maybe cross-linked. The invention also relates to methods of hydrophilising membranes and/or preparing hydrophilic membranes via thermal or diffusion induced phase separation processed.

Abstract: A gel composition useful in treating the underarm which contains (a) about 0.5 weight % about up to the sprayable amount of a gelling agent; (b) about 0.01 to about 10 weight % of a deodorant active or an odor reducing agent or a mixture thereof; and (c) about 70 to about 99.49 weight % water, wherein the percentages are based on the total weight of the composition.

Abstract: A stable, nonaqueous liquid tooth whitening composition comprised of an anhydrous peroxide compound dispersed in an orally acceptable mixture of an anhydrous hydrophilic polymer and an adhesion enhancer which composition when applied topically to tooth surfaces forms an adherent layer containing the peroxide compound which peroxide compound is thereafter is released from the layer to effect tooth whitening.

Abstract: A two-phase, elastomer-free, low viscosity, high water roll-on antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition comprising:
