Abstract: The present invention relation to an oral care composition comprising an ionic liquid wherein the ionic liquid comprises: (a) a pyrazolium cation and (b) an anion selected from the group consisting of acetate, halide, phosphate, alkyl phosphate, sulphate, alkyl sulphate and tosylate is provided.

Abstract: An oral care composition is provided wherein the composition comprises an ionic liquid, wherein the ionic liquid comprises: a) a quaternary ammonium cation of the formula wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 are each an organic moiety and may be the same or different, and at least one of R1, R2, R3 and R4 includes a hydroxyl; and b) an anion selected from the group consisting of salicylate, alkylsulfate, sulfate, acetate, halide, phosphate, alkyl phosphate and tosylate; wherein the oral care composition is a mouth rinse, toothpaste, toothpowder, oral bead or strip, fluid-encased dental strip, irrigation fluid, plaque removal liquid, dental floss, hard candy, soft candy, lozenge, chewing gum, or lollipop.

Abstract: Generally regarded as safe (GRAS) dyes can be used as photosensitizing dyes in oral compositions to provide anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory efficacy. Embodiments include oral care compositions including photosensitizing dyes, methods of making the compositions, methods of using the compositions, and kits containing the compositions and light emitting devices.

Abstract: An ordered liquid crystalline phase cleansing composition is disclosed that is mild to the skin, contains entrained air and is characterized by excellent sensory and skin feel properties, flow properties and stability.

Abstract: The invention relates to wet skin treatment compositions having specific gum and acrylate dispersion stabilizer systems providing enhanced rheology (e.g., lotion-like rheology and spreadability) relative to other wet skin compositions.

Abstract: An ordered liquid crystalline phase cleansing composition is disclosed that contains a solid particulate optical modifier that modifies the appearance of the skin after rinsing the skin. A method of depositing the solid particulate optical modifier to the skin or hair with the ordered liquid crystalline phase cleansing composition is also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention provides high molecular weight polymers used in small amounts as viscosity modifiers for aqueous/aqueous biphasic liquids. The viscosity of the biphasic is enhanced at least 20%, preferably at least 30% relative to same compositions without use of polymer. Further, the polymer is included without destroying the ability of dual phase compositions to form after product is left standing.

Abstract: An aqueous isotropic liquid cleansing and moisturizing composition is provided having a surfactant; a thickening agent, and a solid particulate optical modifier that modifies the appearance of the skin after wash off.

Abstract: The invention provides rinse-off wet skin compositions comprising structuring systems which in turn comprise (a) non-pre-gelatinized starch; and (b) fatty acid, and which systems provide enhanced properties. The fatty acid also needs to be added to the aqueous phase during preparation of the formulation.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of specifically defined agents that induce the formation of biphasic liquid cleansing compositions. In particular the biphasic inducing agents include water soluble, high-gel-point polysaccharides having a molecular weight greater than about 10,000 Daltons; fatty ester or fatty ether ethoxylates of intermediate ethoxylation; and mixtures thereof. Optional use of salt and polydextrose allows less total biphasic inducing agents to be used in the composition and more control over the physical properties of the composition.
