Definitions

  • the present invention relates to oral care compositions comprising pigments and polymers that enhance the white appearance of teeth.
  • the invention also relates to the use of such compositions for whitening teeth of an individual.
  • the enamel layer of the tooth is naturally an opaque white or slightly off-white colour. However, this enamel layer can become stained or discoloured. Many products we consume have a negative impact on our teeth and mouth. Many substances can stain or reduce the whiteness of one’s teeth, in particular, certain foods, tobacco products, and fluids such as tea and coffee. These staining and discolouring substances are often able to permeate the enamel layer. This problem occurs gradually over many years, but imparts a noticeable discoloration of the enamel of one’s teeth.
  • an oral care composition comprising fenugreek gum can enhance the deposition of pigments on tooth surfaces to provide instant tooth whitening benefit.
  • the present invention is directed to an oral care composition
  • an oral care composition comprising: a) 0.01 to 10% by weight of fenugreek gum; b) a pigment having a hue angle, h, in the Cl ELAB system of from 220 to 320 degrees; and c) 0.01 to 60% by weight of a silica abrasive.
  • the present invention is directed to a packaged oral care product comprising the oral care composition of the first aspect of this invention.
  • the present invention is directed to a method of whitening teeth of an individual comprising the step of applying the oral care composition of any embodiment of the first aspect to at least one surface of the teeth of the individual.
  • the oral care composition of the present invention comprises from 0.01 to 10% by weight of fenugreek gum, preferably from 0.02 to 5%, more preferably from 0.05 to 3%, based on total weight of the oral care composition and including all ranges subsumed therein.
  • Fenugreek gum is simply the milled endosperm of fenugreek seeds and possesses a sugar composition.
  • Fenugreek gum is a galactomannan, consisting of a linear chain of mannose linked by p-(1 — >4) glycosidic bonds, with galactose substitution at the C-6 position. The ratio of mannose to galactose is about 1 :1.
  • a linear mannan polymer is completely insoluble in water. However, galactose substitution in fenugreek prevents polymer chains from associating intimately during drying, making it completely soluble in cold water.
  • fenugreek gum suitable for use in the present invention has a weight average molecular weight ranges from 100,000 to 2,000,000 g/mol, more preferably from 300,000 to 1 ,500,000 g/mol, and most preferably from 500,000 to 950,000 g/mol.
  • the composition also comprises a pigment.
  • the pigment according to the invention is a shade/material which is insoluble in the relevant medium, at the relevant temperature. This is in contrast to dyes which are soluble.
  • soluble means a source that dissolves in water to give a solution with a concentration of at least 0.1 moles per litre.
  • relevant medium refers to human saliva, the liquid medium in which the composition is used, at the temperature of the oral cavity during brushing of the teeth, i.e. up to 37°C.
  • the relevant medium may also be water and the relevant temperature to be 25°C.
  • the only limitation with respect to the pigment is that the same is suitable for use in the mouth.
  • the pigment has a hue angle, h, in the Cl ELAB system of from 220 to 320 degrees, more preferably from 250 to 290 degrees.
  • hue angles may be found on p57 of Colour Chemistry 3 rd edition by H. Zollinger published by Wiley-VCH.
  • the pigment is violet or blue, more preferably the pigment is selected from one or more of those listed in the Colour Index International as pigment blue 1 through to pigment 83 and pigment violet 1 through to pigment violet 56.
  • Other suitable pigments are pigment ultramarine blue and ultramarine violet. While the preferred pigment is blue or violet, the same effect may be achieved through mixing pigments outside of this hue angle range. For example, such a hue angle may also be obtained by mixing a red and green-blue pigment to yield a blue or violet shaded pigment.
  • the pigment is a blue pigment.
  • blue pigments suitable for use in this invention include inorganic blue pigments such as iron blue (C.l. 77510) and ultramarine blue (C.l. 77007).
  • a preferred class of blue pigments suitable for use in the invention are organic blue pigments such as phthalocyanine blue pigments.
  • Phthalocyanines are organometallic compounds containing four symmetrically arranged isoindole rings connected in a 16-membered ring linking with alternate carbon and nitrogen atoms. Most phthalocyanines contains a central, coordinated metal ion such as copper. Copper phthalocyanines have the basis structure:
  • Phthalocyanine blue pigments exhibit more than one crystal modification, which differ in terms of coloristics. Methods have been developed to phase-stabilise the phthalocyanine pigment molecule in order to prevent conversion to a different crystal modification. An example is minor chemical modification of the molecule, for instance partial chlorination. Methods have also been developed to stabilise the phthalocyanine pigment molecule against flocculation during pigment application. An example is admixture of other agents to the molecule, such as surface active additives to the pigment molecule.
  • the following pigments are illustrative phthalocyanine blue pigments preferably included in the composition according to the invention:
  • the pigment is phthalocyanine blue pigment selected from alpha copper phthalocyanines Pigment Blue 15, Pigment Blue 15:1, Pigment 15:2 and mixtures thereof. Most preferably the pigment is Pigment Blue 15:1.
