Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for testing oral malodor, in particular oral malodor from onion and garlic. Described herein are methods for testing the efficacy of an oral care composition to reduce oral malodor, the method comprising the steps of: a) cleaning at least a part of the oral cavity with an oral care composition; b) testing a first sample of exhaled breath from the cleaned oral cavity to provide a first test result representing a first amount of at least one oral malodor component detected in the exhaled breath; c) exposing the oral cavity to an oral malodor material including or capable of forming the at least one oral malodor component; and d) testing a second sample of exhaled breath from the oral cavity to provide a second test result representing a second amount of the at least one oral malodor component detected in the exhaled breath.

Abstract: The present invention relates to oral care compositions and methods of inhibiting microbial biofilm formation and/or degrading a microbial biofilm. Disclosed herein are oral care compositions comprising an Amadori compound having a glucose moiety and an amino acid moiety. The Amadori compound has use for inhibiting oral microbial biofilm formation and/or degrading an oral microbial biofilm in the oral cavity of a mammalian subject.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for testing oral malodor, in particular oral malodor from coffee. Described herein are methods for testing the efficacy of an oral care composition to reduce oral malodor, the method comprising the steps of: a) cleaning at least a part of the oral cavity with an oral care composition; b) testing a sample of exhaled breath from the cleaned oral cavity to provide a test result representing a amount of at least one oral malodor component detected in the exhaled breath; c) exposing the oral cavity to an oral malodor material including or capable of forming the at least one oral malodor component; and d) testing a sample of exhaled breath from the oral cavity to provide a test result representing an amount of the at least one oral malodor component detected in the exhaled breath.

Abstract: Provided herein is an oral care composition comprising an orally-acceptable aqueous vehicle and an antimicrobial ingredient, wherein the antimicrobial ingredient comprises a zinc ascorbylphosphate and methods for treating or preventing a disease or disorder of the oral cavity using the oral care compositions disclosed herein.

Abstract: Personal care products are disclosed which comprises an alcohol based composition which includes a film forming system comprising cellulose esters, which product (1) is capable of forming a thin film on the skin which film is characterized by selected hardness, and water transport properties and (2) reduces or eliminates wetness such as wetness caused by perspiration. These compositions can be used in cosmetic products, especially antiperspirants, deodorants, and combination antiperspirant/deodorants. The compositions comprise: (a) an alcohol based solvent system; and (b) a cellulose ester component which is soluble in alcohol.

Abstract: An invention is disclosed which comprises siloxane-based polyamides as gelling agents for cosmetic products, methods for making such agents, formulations thereof and cosmetic formulations therewith. These polyamides contain siloxane groups in the main chain and act to thicken compositions containing volatile and/or non-volatile silicone fluids.

Abstract: This invention relates to fragrance enhancing compositions which are capable of controlling malodor from a human body to a significant extent thereby reducing the overall amount of fragrance required to achieve a satisfactory cosmetic product, especially an underarm product. The fragrance enhancing compositions of this invention are made by combining at least three components from a selected group of non-nitromusk materials.

Abstract: The present invention comprises stabilizing aqueous solutions of aluminum zirconium based salts with a water soluble amino acid, especially glycine, wherein the Zr:glycine weight ratios used to form solutions of the active itself or used to form cosmetic compositions made according to this invention are in the range from 1:1.2 to 1:5, particularly 1:2 to 1:4, and more particularly in the range of 1:2 to 1:3 on a weight:weight basis. By reducing the polymerization of small zirconium species with an elevated amount of amino acid(s), the efficacy of the antiperspirant salt is maintained.
