Approaches to Address Tooth Sensitivity and Dental Erosion
While the introduction of fluoride remarkably increased the life expectancy of natural teeth, two oral care problems have since emerged: tooth sensitivity and dental erosion. This article describes approaches to these problems and discusses the challenge of simultaneously maintaining fluoride efficacy in multi-benefit toothpaste formulations.

Formula Anatomy Deciphered—Toothpastes
If consumers think that brushing their teeth with toothpaste is a simple hygiene procedure, they are mistaken. Mouth care is a complex strategy and modern cosmetics do much more than simply eliminate microbes.

Theobromine for Tooth Decay Prevention
While it may help to protect teeth from decay, fluoride at high levels also has been reported to irritate the gastrointestinal tract and some manufacturers have formulated products without it. However, toothpastes without fluoride are not providing any real benefit beyond cleansing, says Arman Sadeghpour, PhD, who, by chance, stumbled across another raw material that exhibits better anti-cavity efficacy than fluoride without adverse health effects.

D-Tagatose, a Novel Humectant and Sweetener for Toothpaste
D-tagatose is a full-bulk naturally occurring low-calorie sweetener. Recently, D-tagatose has been determined to be Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) as an excipient in drugs and for use in toothpaste, mouthwashes and other cosmetics. Consequently, D-ta

Inventive Formulating Abounds Yet Questions Remain at SCC’s Scientific Seminar
Innovative raw materials and research abounded at the Society of Cosmetic Chemists’ (SCC) 2010 Annual Scientific Seminar; however, challenges from previous years continued—namely, the line between cosmetics and drugs, how to become more eco-friendly, and how to reinvent the hair care and color cosmetic categories.
Anti-aging/Face
From Hydration to Cell Turnover: An Integral Approach to Antiaging
As the mechanisms of skin aging become better understood, their complexity commands a different approach for antiaging benefits—i.e., integrating multiple complementary actives into a single formulation. In the present article, the authors describe a comprehensive formula designed to effectively address sixteen different mechanisms of skin aging.

Tooth Whitening Without Sensitization
Teeth whiteners are available as OTC strips and gels, but consumers seeking more immediate and dramatic effects often visit the dentist for an in-office procedure or take-home solution. In any case, many of these treatments increase tooth sensitivity and damage the gums, according to Raymond Frye, DMD, a cosmetic dentist and owner of Bling Dental. Therefore, he developed a whitening solution based on a combination of carbamide peroxide with a desensitizer.

A Taste Receptor Blocker for Oral Hygiene Compositions
A hydrogenated, ethoxylated glycol ester reduces the harsh taste or burn sensation ordinarily imparted by the eucalyptol and the astringency ordinarily caused by the zinc salt in oral hygiene compositions.
Method/Process
ATP Bioluminescence: Detecting Microbial Contamination in Dentifrices
In tests on eight dentifrice formulations, a bioluminescence system based on adenosine triphosphate (ATP) detected tested microorganisms qualitatively within 24-27 hours, compared to 5-7 days required for quantitative detection by standard methods.

Diglycerol: A Humectant With Unique Sensory Qualities
Diglycerol is a humectant that also provides unique sensory qualities in toothpaste (improves impacted flavor and longevity of cooling and fresh breath sensation) and deodorant sticks (reduces irritation and tackiness; improves clarity, fragrance impact and fragrance longevity).
Organic/COSMOS
Natural Preservatives
Traditional methods of preservation, such as those used in the food industry and some available from natural plants, suggest a natural preservative system whose components are already available to the formulator.

Organic and Natural: Caveat Emptor
Previous columns have discussed Canadian Natural Health Products regulations but have steered clear of the natural and organic debate, although this author previously published an article that debates animal versus vegetable ingredients, in which he explains that a chemical is a chemical regardless of its origin; a molecule of glycerin is just that, whether from natural sources like animal or vegetable fat, or from petroleum or biodiesel sources.

Oral Care Formulating with Epigallocatechin Gallate
Most oral care products address plaque, caries, gingivitis, etc., with wellapproved active ingredients, however, consumers are increasingly looking for a more natural and complete approach to oral care. In this study, the catechin fraction of green tea – specifically epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), exhibited several activities in oral care while offering a natural alternative.
