The semisolid oral dispersion and/or the petrolatum can have a cone penetration consistency value of from about 25 to about 300.

Semisolid oral dispersions for whitening teeth comprising a hydrophilic discontinuous phase and a hydrophobic continuous phase. The semisolid oral dispersions include a hydrophilic discontinuous phase comprising bleaching agent particles. The semisolid oral dispersions also include a hydrophobic continuous phase comprising petrolatum. The h bleaching agent particles can include peroxide compounds and/or hydrogen peroxide adducts. The 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.

Described herein are water-stable films for use in aqueous compositions, compositions comprising the films, and methods of making and using the same.

Multi-phase oral care compositions for whitening teeth. including hydrophilic bleaching agent particles in a hydrophobic phase with a melting point of from about 40 C. to about 80 C. 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.

The semisolid oral dispersions include hydrophilic active agent particles in hydrophobic phase. The hydrophilic active agent particles can include bleaching agents, antimicrobial agents, anticalculus agents, and/or combinations thereof. The hydrophilic active 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.

A solid cosmetic product includes: (i) a first effervescent material, and (ii) a second effervescent material. The second effervescent material contains a salt of alginic acid. Each effervescent material is capable of effervescence on contact with water, with the rate of effervescence of the first effervescent material being greater than the rate of effervescence of the second effervescent material. The first and second effervescent materials are distinct from each other and the second effervescent material envelops the first effervescent material. The solid cosmetic product includes (a) a salt of carbonic acid; (b) an organic acidifying agent; (c) a salt of alginic acid; and (d) a calcium salt.

The present invention provides an oral care composition comprising: (a) a first composition comprising a silica abrasive and a first zinc compound selected from zinc citrate, zinc chloride, zinc acetate, zinc lactate, zinc salicylate, zinc sulfate, and zinc nitrate; and (b) a second composition comprising a calcium carbonate abrasive; wherein the first composition and/or the second composition further comprises a second zinc compound selected from zinc oxide, zinc carbonate and zinc tartrate; and wherein the oral care composition optionally further comprises from 0.1 to 1.75 weight % of a tartar control agent, based on the total weight of the oral care composition.

The present disclosure provides an intermediate composition (e.g., an aqueous slurry) for the formulation of a tooth whitening strip comprising a hydratable adhesive film, wherein the intermediate composition comprises an inorganic salt of peroxymonosulfate, preferably an alkali metal salt or alkaline earth metal salt, or mixtures thereof, and methods of using the same and making the tooth whitening strip.

The method comprises the following steps: (a) forming a powder layer (19) comprising at least one cosmetic powder; (b) supplying a photoactivatable material on at least a first region of the layer (19); (c) illuminating at least the first region of the layer (19) to activate the photoactivatable material; (d) forming an additional powder layer (19) comprising at least one cosmetic powder; (e) supplying a photoactivatable material on at least a second region of the additional layer (19); (f) illuminating at least the second region of the additional layer (19) to activate the photoactivatable material; (g) repeating steps (d) to (f) until the three-dimensional object is formed.
The cosmetic composition comprised in the three-dimensional object or forming the three-dimensional object can be restored after the three-dimensional object is formed.

The present disclosure relates to a clear or translucent composition which takes the form of a solid, a semi-solid or a viscous gel. The inventive composition contains a mixture of at least two amino acid-based gelatinizing agents, at least one polyamide resin, a non ionic, unsaturated fatty alcohol in an amount which reduces the dissolution temperature of the gelatinizing agents to allow processing at or below 115 C., an alkyl dimethicone, and an oil and/or a polymer component. Additional ingredients depending on the application may also be included in the clear or translucent composition. The present disclosure also relates to methods of producing the clear or translucent composition of the disclosure and uses thereof.
