A kit includes a multi-phase oral composition for whitening teeth and an electromagnetic radiation source. The multi-phase oral composition for whitening teeth includes from about 0.002% to about 30%, by weight of the multi-phase oral composition, of a discontinuous aqueous phase having a bleaching agent, where a concentration of the bleaching agent is up to 10%, by weight of the multi-phase oral composition, and at least about 50%, by weight of the multi-phase oral composition, of a continuous hydrophobic phase of petrolatum. The electromagnetic radiation source is capable of directing electromagnetic radiation with one or more wavelength in the range from about 200 nm to about 1700 nm toward at least one tooth. The electromagnetic radiation source emits electromagnetic radiation in a range from about 100 mW/cm.sup.2 to about 250 mW/cm.sup.2.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide an oil-in-oil emulsified cosmetic having exceptional transfer resistance after application, luster, excellent spread during application, and especially exceptional cosmetic durability. The present invention pertains to an oil-in-oil emulsified cosmetic characterized by containing (a) 5-80 mass % of a nonvolatile hydrocarbon oil and/or nonvolatile ester oil, (b) 1-70 mass % of a nonvolatile silicone oil, and (c) 2-12 mass % of a spherical powder having an average particle size of 1-10 μm, the oil-in-oil emulsified cosmetic moreover being characterized in that the (a) nonvolatile hydrocarbon oil and/or nonvolatile ester oil and the (b) nonvolatile silicone oil separate when mixed at 25° C. The blend ratio (mass ratio) of the (a) nonvolatile hydrocarbon oil and/or nonvolatile ester oil and the (b) nonvolatile silicone oil is preferably (a)/[(a)+(b)]=0.4-0.8.

A gingivitis gum serum having a collagen building complex comprising between about 0.10 and 10.00 percent by weight of a stable Vitamin C derivative and between about 0.03 and 15.0 percent by weight of an amino acid complex primarily consisting of L-glycine, L-proline, L-lysine and mixtures thereof, a multi-mineral organo complex for healthy cell and tissue generation and an orally acceptable antimicrobial in a soft tissue delivery base for manual or vibratory application.

This invention relates to solid oral care compositions, for example a tablet, comprising a comprising a sugar alcohol and a lubricant. In certain aspects the invention is directed to solid oral care compositions that are tablets that comprise a lubricant, wherein the lubricant comprises a poloxamer, as well as methods of use and related kits.

Multi-phase oral care compositions for whitening teeth including hydrophilic bleaching agent particles in a hydrophobic phase with a cone penetration consistency value of from about 25 to about 300. The hydrophilic bleaching agent particles can include peroxide compounds and/or hydrogen peroxide adducts. The hydrophilic bleaching agent particle can have a solubility in water of at least about 20 parts, by weight of the particles, in about 100 parts, by weight, of water.

An AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activating agent comprises 1,2-di-O-galloyl-4,6-O—(S)-hexahydroxydiphenoyl-b-D-glucose (“GHG”) as an active ingredient. The AMPK activating agent can be a GHG-containing composition wherein the GHG is an active ingredient of the composition. The GHG-containing composition can be derived from Kenyan purple tea, whose scientific name is Camellia sinensis, variety name: TRFK306. An effective amount of the GHG can be administered to a cell to activate the AMPK. Drinks, foods, and cosmetics can have the GHG as an active ingredient.

The present invention relates to core shell silica particles, wherein each core shell silica particle comprises a silica core, and a surface of the silica core is etched with metal silicate, the core shell silica particles prepared by: i) admixing an amount of silica particles in water with an amount of a base, wherein the base comprises a monovalent metal ion, to produce core shell silica particles, each core shell silica particle comprising a silica core, and a surface of the silica core etched with a silicate of the monovalent metal ion; and ii) reacting the core shell silica particles formed in step i) with a metal salt comprising a second metal ion, to form core shell silica particles comprising silicate of the second metal ion on the surface of the silica core.

This application relates to novel black translucent oral care compositions useful for combining and delivering incompatible stannous fluoride or stannous chloride and potassium salts in a charcoal composition, for example, to provide effective caries prevention, protection against dental erosion, and relief from dental hypersensitivity. The compositions comprise stannous fluoride or stannous chloride, nitric acid or a water-soluble nitrate salt, a water-soluble alkali metal polyphosphate and more than 10% water, by weight of the composition.

Disclosed is a method for using a two-step cosmetic product, such as used on the lips, that includes the use of a basecoat that utilizes a surface-stabilized dispersion of copolymer particles and a styrenic block copolymer, and a top coat that utilizes a silicone amine and a viscous silicone, and where the composition(s) are configured to allow the silicone amine to react with the maleic anhydride after the top coat is applied.

An oral cavity care method uses a fine ozone bubble liquid, wherein a stock solution of the fine ozone bubble liquid has ozone gas concentration of 100 ppm or more, even if ozone gas concentration of the fine ozone bubble liquid is diluted to 4 ppm or less, the fine ozone bubble liquid has a sterilizing action, the fine ozone bubble liquid has ozone gas concentration of 4 ppm or more after frozen storage for one year or more, and in addition to the sterilizing action, the fine ozone bubble liquid has an odor component decomposition action and an antiviral action.
