Evaporation of water from an aqueous dispersion of a solid peroxide such as benzoyl peroxide is retarded by the incorporation of carboxylic acid salt. The carboxylic acid salt renders the aqueous dispersion less susceptible to explosive decomposition when exposed to external triggering events such as impact, heat, friction or contamination, yet does not interfere with the ability to achieve and maintain a stable, small particle size dispersion having desirable viscosity and flow properties.

A tooth whitening and/or tooth sensitivity strip or film comprising: about 1-20 wt. % hydroxyapatite (HAP). A process for the manufacture of a tooth whitening strip or film, the process comprising at least the steps of: —mixing at least one or a combination of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) polymers wherein the amount of the polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) polymers is greater than 75 wt. % of the film or strip; and —an amount at least about 1-20 wt. % hydroxyapatite (HAP); and —at least one or a combination of polycarbophils; —with water to provide an aqueous tooth whitening liquid; —applying the aqueous tooth whitening liquid to a substrate to provide a substrate carrying the aqueous tooth whitening liquid; —drying the aqueous tooth whitening liquid to provide a tooth whitening film on the substrate, said film having a thickness from about 50 pm to about 500 pm.

Provided is a kit or system (100) for preparing a peroxide composition with increased viscosity with a pH in the range of 7 to 12 in an almost instantaneous method. For example, the kit or system may be used to provide an almost instantly obtainable (hydro)gelled peroxide composition. The system comprises a first aqueous composition (102) comprising a peroxide agent. The first aqueous composition has a first pH of less than 7. The system further comprises a second composition (104) comprising a basic agent. The second composition is separate from the first aqueous composition. A pH induced thickener is included in the kit or system separate from the second composition. The peroxide composition is obtainable by combining the parts of the kit or system. The pH induced thickener is capable of increasing the viscosity of the peroxide composition upon subjecting it to the pH in the range of 7 to 12. The kit or system has sufficient basic agent for the peroxide composition to cause the pH in the range of 7 to 12. A method for preparation and use of the kit or system is also provided.

An aqueous formulation for topical application to the skin comprising water, a water-miscible organic solvent, and benzoyl peroxide, wherein the concentration of the organic solvent is sufficient to provide a stable suspension of benzoyl peroxide in the aqueous formulation without the inclusion of a surfactant in the formulation, wherein the ratio of concentrations of water and organic solvent in the formulation is sufficient to maintain the benzoyl peroxide in saturated solubility in the formulation following application to the skin, and wherein the concentration of benzoyl peroxide in the formulation is less than 5.0% and at least 1.0% w/w. The formulation may further contain a chemical compound in addition to benzoyl peroxide that is effective in the treatment of acne. The aqueous formulations of the invention are useful in the treatment of acne and acne rosacea.
