Tablets are prepared with friability reducing agents to yield tablets that are more resistant to breakage or crumbling, but with satisfactory hardness. The friability reducing agents include low molecular weight polyethylene glycol as well as similar agents exhibiting at least three percent (3%) hydroxide moieties and a water solubility of at least eighty percent (80%) (w/w %) in room temperature water. The tablets may comprise an active agent and excipient of almost any type, and about 0.1-about 0.5% by weight friability reducing agent. They exhibit a hardness of at least eighty percent (80%) of the same tablet prepared without the friability reducing agent.

A multi-phase oral composition for whitening teeth.

A multi-phase oral composition for whitening teeth.

The invention relates to the use of sphingosine-based compounds, in particular phytosphingosine compounds, in the protection of hydroxyapatite containing materials such as teeth and bone. Such compounds are especially useful in the treatment and prevention of dental caries, dental erosion, dentine hypersensitivity and tartar (dental calculus) formation. Methods and devices are also provided for preventing biofilm formation using sphingosine-based compounds. Compositions comprising sphingosine-based compounds are also provided.

The present invention provides an oral care agent suitable for removing oral deposits. An oral care agent of the present invention is a semi-solid oral care agent that is an agent for removing oral deposits.

Oral compositions generally, but not exclusively, used for post dental implants that provide low abrasiveness and improved sanitization and protection of dental implants as well as facilitation of tissue regeneration with better active stability and compatibility as well as synergistic effects are described. The oral compositions include one or more mucus regenerators, one or more antiseptic agents, and one or more orally acceptable carrier actives selected from a group of one or more thickeners, one or more humectants, one or more sweeteners, a preservative, one or more surfactants, a film forming agent, a thixotropic agent, a solubilizing agent, a chelating agent, a coloring agent, an anti-tartar agent, an abrasive, an antioxidant agent, a flavoring agent, and a water vehicle, or mixtures thereof.

A variety of personal care compositions contain one or more of a cannabinoid, a Lewis acid salt inside of a vehicle to deliver the cannabinoid to a user. The vehicle that is used depends upon where the cannabinoid is to be delivered. For example, oral care compositions contain orally-acceptable carrier(s), skin care compositions contain vehicles that are compatible with the skin, and so on. Personal care compositions can take many product forms and can be used by humans or animals. Personal care compositions include, but are not limited to, mouthwashes, toothpastes, dentifrices, tooth gels, tooth powders, tablets, rinses, subgingival gels, foams, mousses, chewing gums, lipsticks, sponges, flosses, prophy pastes, petrolatum gels, denture products, deodorants, antiperspirants, pet foods and pet chews.
