The present invention relates to a composition that acts prior to the action of a tooth whitening composition or tooth whitening patch, the composition containing an oral cavity stimulation alleviating component able to reduce stimulation by the tooth whitening composition or patch. The present invention also relates to a tooth whitening kit whereby oral cavity stimulation is alleviated. The composition that acts prior to the action of a tooth whitening composition or patch of the present invention provides an outstanding tooth whitening effect while alleviating pain by mitigating intra-oral stimulation brought about by the rapid action of a tooth whitening component due to a tooth whitening component active agent.

Methods and formulations for batch-mixing flavonoid tinctures and infusing the flavonoid batch-mixed tincture into a food, beverage, cosmetic or drug products with minimal or no effect on the alcohol by volume of the product, and to precisely deliver the desired mixture concentration of the flavonoids, is provided. A batch-mixed flavonoid tincture includes an amount of at least two individual flavonoid tinctures, each flavonoid tincture being a mixture of at least a flavonoid and a solvent. The batch-mixed tincture is added to various food and beverages, or alternatively directly administered to a human or animal, to make a bioavailable amount of flavonoids to be absorbed and metabolized by the body providing demonstrated health benefits.

A hair care composition that removes calcium fatty carboxylate salts from the hair and scalp is provided. The hair care composition includes a calcium chelant, an anionic surfactant, a hydrotrope, a carrier, and optionally a zwitterionic surfactant.

The invention relates to stable, mild and moisturizing lamellar liquid cleansing compositions which possess a lotion-like appearance conveying signals of enhanced moisturization. However, these liquids often are either unstable or cause poor lather production and other sensory deficits The use of a specific ratio of total acyl isethionates to acyl glutamates or other divalent anionic surfactant in a structured liquid product improve stability and lather production, mildness and acceptable odor.

A method for visibly whitening teeth at least three shades as measured using a tooth shade grading system, the method comprising providing a gel composition that (a) does not contain a peroxide bleaching agent, (b) is conformable to teeth surfaces and to interstitial spaces between teeth, without permanent deformation thereof, and (c) is removably attached to a release liner; wherein the gel strip consists essentially of (x) a sea salt and (y) at least two essential oils selected from the group consisting of (i) lemon peel oil; (ii) coconut oil; and (iii) sage oil; and applying the gel strip to the outer surface of the teeth in an amount sufficient to coat the teeth, once daily for a period of time from about 15 minutes to about 30 minutes. A method for preventing teeth staining by applying the above gel composition twice to teeth allowing 30 seconds drying between applications.
