This invention describes personal care and medicinal products that use special sulfur-containing compounds. These compounds can react with chemicals in and around cells to provide benefits like fighting microbes, inflammation, and aging. The specific claims, however, focus on an anti-plaque toothpaste containing garlic-related sulfur compounds, particularly allyl mercaptan.
Why it matters: The original claims were canceled, indicating past hurdles. However, since 2012, there has been increased scientific validation and consumer demand for natural, plant-derived functional ingredients in personal care, which could re-contextualize this approach.
