20080313835 | Oral Care Instrument Including An Oral Care Agent - An oral care instrument includes at least one oral care agent. In one embodiment, the oral care agent can be provided on one or more surfaces of the oral care instrument or included within cavities within the head or in one or more surfaces of a head. In other embodiment, the oral care agent can be provided in or on a thin slab subsequently bonded onto a surface, or applied as a stable coating. The oral care instrument can also be provided with a wear indicator. The oral care agents can be released during one use, during multiple uses, or throughout the life of the instrument. Water, oral secretions and/or chemicals within the mouth can activate the oral care agents. | 12-25-2008 |
20090087813 | BIO-ACTIVATED ORAL CARE INSTRUMENT - An oral care instrument, such as a motorized toothbrush, which activates upon exposure to the oral environment of the user, is described. The electrical conductivity of saliva, optionally mixed with toothpaste and water, may be utilized to complete an electrical circuit that powers a motorized device within the instrument. | 04-02-2009 |
20090317345 | Antiperspirant/Deodorant Gel Composition With Low Pouring Temperature - Solid stick antiperspirant and deodorant compositions containing both branched and linear N-acyl gelling agents along with dipropylene glycol are provided. Such compositions exhibit advantageous pouring temperatures below about 80° C. | 12-24-2009 |
20110283469 | BIO-ACTIVATED ORAL CARE INSTRUMENT - An oral care instrument, such as a motorized toothbrush, which activates upon exposure to the oral environment of the user, is described. The electrical conductivity of saliva, optionally mixed with toothpaste and water, may be utilized to complete an electrical circuit that powers a motorized device within the instrument. | 11-24-2011 |
20120045493 | Solid Cosmetic Composition with Structurant and Electrolyte Solution - A water soluble cosmetic or pharmaceutical or pharmaceutical actives in an electrolyte solution which, when impregnated with one or more retentive fillers (such as, for example, silica or hydrophobically modified silica, lamellar filler, crosspolymer, cellulosic, resins, or silicone elastomers) can form stable solid compositions with structurants. Such solid compositions do not require a higher buffer pH or leave residues upon application to the skin. Solid compositions according to the present invention are suitable for cosmetic and pharmaceutical purposes such as antiperspirants, deodorants, lip products, and other topical applications. | 02-23-2012 |
20120189986 | GENERATING A CHEMICAL AGENT IN SITU - A method of cleaning teeth by providing a device for generating a chemical agent in situ on an as-needed basis via the application of an electrical potential across a pair of conductors in communication with an electrolyte. The chemical agents may include ozone, hydrogen peroxide, peroxide, chlorine and/or hypochlorite. The device may include a voltage source and a first set of electrodes for applying an electrical potential to the electrolyte. The device may also include a second set of electrodes disposed about an anode of the first set of electrodes. The first and second sets of anodes cooperate to produce ions, peroxides, ozone and/or other chemical agents via the application of electrical potential to the electrolyte. | 07-26-2012 |
