Abstract

See full text

Disclosed are personal care compositions for use on hair, skin, oral cavity, throat and other mucosal surfaces containing a flavor/perfume system comprising one or more coolants, wherein the pleasant cool and refreshing sensation provided by the coolant is enhanced in terms of quicker onset, greater intensity or impact and/or longer duration, thereby improving appeal and acceptability of the compositions to consumers. In one embodiment the invention provides oral care compositions comprising

    (a) a flavor composition comprising one or more non-menthol coolants and optionally one or more additional flavor ingredients,(b) a calcium ion source and/or a calcium transport agent sufficient to potentiate and/or modulate the cooling and refreshing sensation provided by the coolant(s), and(c) an orally-acceptable carrier.Upon application to the oral cavity, the compositions provide an immediate onset of cooling sensation which lasts longer than about 15 minutes thereby providing long-lasting clean and fresh mouth impression and encouraging user compliance and repeated use of the compositions.
