  • Patent number: 9540631
    Abstract: Compositions are provided to immobilize and protect oxidase enzymes from proteolytic and hydrolytic attack, utilizing a porous, inert organic, or inorganic, substrate matrix useful in generating hydrogen peroxide in situ for use in oral, topical mucosal and intracavity uses for use in or on the human body and other mammalian, reptile, fish and amphibians. The selected porosity of the support matrix provides the basis for generating hydrogen peroxide on a steady state basis. Both diatomaceous earth and silica gel, either in natural or pre-silanized forms, allow for the excluding of non-preferred enzymes from the support matrix, and for diffusion of the peroxide in the reduction of oral pathogens and their attendant malodorous compounds, or other pathogens in the mucosa, bodily fluids and cavities, in addition to oxidizing color bodies to affect bleaching.

  • Patent number: 8609119
    Abstract: An active agent delivery and/or odor retentive composition including a surfactant and wax spheres formed from at least one of beeswax and soy wax and methods of use thereof. The composition is particularly useful in the cosmetics and medical industry for delivering/carrying a particular ingredient to one's skin, scalp or hair; for absorbing odor causing materials, such as fuel byproducts from a skin surface; and/or for providing exfoliating properties to the skin. The delivery system/carrying system is also useful in binding to certain nutritional materials, such as vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and the like for ingestion and release into the body.
