Disclosed herein is a formulation that can take the form of an emulsion which contains total enteral or parenteral nutrition for a recipient subject. The formulation includes as the sole fat components: (i) medium chain triglycerides; and (ii) very long chain fatty acids selected from (a) very long chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids; and (b) docosahexaenoic acid and arachidonic acid in a ratio of about 10:1 (v/v or w/w) to about 2000:1 (v/v or w/w). The sole fat components provide about 10% to about 90% total calories of the formulation, and the medium chain triglycerides provide about 25%-95% total fat calories of the formulation. Methods and kits for utilizing the formulation and for treating various disorders and diseases that involve an inflammatory response are also disclosed.

An oral composition is provided comprising crosslinked polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and xylitol. The xylitol and the crosslinked PVP are in a ratio of about 5:1, and the oral composition is in the form of a lozenge or lollipop. Methods are also provided.

Disclosed herein are oral care compositions comprising a zinc amino acid halide complex, and a humectant system comprising polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol as structuring humectants, which compositions have improved rheological stability. Methods of making and using the compositions are also provided.

A skin smoothing film made from a skin smoothing composition that comprises sodium silicate, polyvalent silicate and water. Moreover, the film may be made from a composition that has a contraction value of from about 30% to about 160%. The film thickness is from about 5 microns to about 50 microns, preferably from about 10 microns to about 40 microns, when applied. The standard deviation of the film over the area covered is less than about 30, preferably less than about 25.

This invention relates to novel methods of improving the overall outcome of a dermal tattoo when it is applied, such methods including applying a silicone-based material (such as a silicone-based film or silicone ointment) to a freshly created tattoo to improve comfort, offer barrier function, promote moist healing, and provide an effect to prevent and reduce scar formation. The invention also relates to a novel method of improving the overall outcome when a dermal tattoo is removed, such method including applying a silicone-based material to the tattoo site as a pre-treatment to laser tattoo removal.

An oral care composition comprising zinc phosphate, stannous fluoride and an organic acid buffer system, as well as methods of using the same.

The present specification discloses a composition comprising hypochlorous acid or free available chlorine and one or more silicones, and methods to improve and/or support the appearance, beauty and/or health of a skin region or a hair region in an individual by topically applying a disclosed composition.

A fluid cosmetic composition with unusual rheologic characteristics has a formulation comprising 0.1 to 50% by weight of at least one fluid branched polymer obtained by simultaneous reaction from components A. B and C, where A is a linear polymer with a molecular weight Mw between 5000 and 50000 Da, provided with reactive functional groups X in a chain at a concentration between 0.1 and 50 mmol/g of polymer. B is a linear polymer with a molecular weight Mw between 10000 and 100000 Da, having terminal reactive functional groups of type Y capable of reacting with the functional group X in an addition or condensation reaction, and C is a molecule or linear oligomer (or a mixture thereof) with a molecular weight between 50 and 1000 Da, having a reactive functional group Y per molecule, capable of reacting with the functional group X in an addition or condensation reaction. The molar ratio of the functional groups of B and A is between 0.01 and 0.5 and the molar ratio of the functional groups of C and A is between 0.5 and 1.2. The reactive group X of A is capable of reacting with the reactive sites Y of B and C.

This document relates to methods and materials involved in providing a tooth, tooth component, or inorganic dental material (e.g., a human tooth, a human tooth component, or an inorganic dental material within a human's mouth) with a white appearance. For example, a whitening adhesive containing a conjugate of at least a polyamine, a polyphosphate, and one or more whitening agents (e.g., titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and/or hydroxyapetite) can be used to provide a tooth, tooth component, or inorganic dental material with a whiter appearance.

Provided by the invention are systems for applying antiperspirant grip enhancement compositions to a selected skin treatment area. Application of the antiperspirant grip enhancement composition is accomplished by forming the composition into a mist or spray using an atomizing spray dispenser.
