These new compositions incorporate bioactive glass into cosmetics, cleaning agents, personal care products, biocidal agents, functional foods and nutritional supplements. The present invention also involves methods of making and methods of using such compositions. Background of the Invention Preservatives are necessary and important ingredients that ensure the stability and safety of different products. Many problems exist with respect to known preservatives. Many have unwanted effects on the products they are in or on the person or thing for which the products are used. Many are relatively expensive and have no beneficial effects besides preservation. Many, in fact, are not efficacious as preservatives. Many have effects on the products' texture or taste that make them undesirable. Better preservatives are needed. There has also been a great need for ingredients that can be used safely and beneficially in products that have antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, ion releasing, anti-inflammatory and/or pH properties in the products themselves and/or on the person or thing for which the product issued. Ingredients that can express one or more of these properties are needed.

Further, certain bioactive glass compositions provide excellent cleaning properties and greatly enhance the cleaning properties of standard household and industrial cleaning agents. In addition, applicants have found that certain bioactive glass compositions are useful as a functional food and nutritional supplement or used in such. Moreover, certain bioactive glass compositions act as an excellent preservative for food. In addition, the compositions of this invention can be formulated as disclosed herein to have enhanced and beneficial properties that include antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, ion- releasing, anti-inflammatory and pH effects. As used herein "bioactive glass" is an inorganic glass material having an oxide of silicon as its major component. The use of bioactive glass for unrelated purposes such as orthopedic repair is described by Larry L. Hench and Jon K. West in "Biological Applications of Bioactive Glasses" Life Chemistry Reports, 1996, Vol. 13, pp. 187-241, the contents of which are incoφorated herein by reference. Detailed Description of the Invention Bioactive glass is a sodium-calcium-phospho-silicate glass. As used herein, the term "bioactive glass" may refer to particulate melt-derived and/or sol-gel derived bioactive glass. In addition, the term "bioactive glass" may be used to refer to an aqueous extract of particulate melt-derived an/or sol-gel derived bioactive glass. The present invention utilizes bioactive glass preferably between 40 and 96% by weight of silicon dioxide oxide (SiO 2 ), between about 0 and 35% by weight of sodium oxide (Na O), between about 4 and 46% by weight calcium oxide (CaO), and between about 1 and 15% by weight phosphorus oxide (P 2 O 5 ). As referred herein, bioactive glasses are typically silicon dioxide based compositions capable of forming hydroxycarbonate apatite (HCA). More preferably, the glass includes between 40 and 60% by weight of silicon dioxide oxide (SiO 2 ), between about 5-30% by weight of sodium oxide (Na 2 O), between about 10 and 35% by weight calcium oxide (CaO), and between about 1 and 12% by weight phosphorus oxide (P 2 O 5 ). The oxides can be present as solid solutions or mixed oxides, or as mixtures of oxides. CaF 2 , B 2 O 3 , Al 2 O 3 , MgO and K O may be included in the composition in addition to silicon, sodium, phosphorus and calcium oxides. The preferred range for B 2 O 3 is between 0 and 10% by weight. The preferred range for K 2 O is between 0 and 8% by weight. The preferred range for MgO is between 0 and 5% by weight. Typically, bioactive glasses have the following composition by weight percentage: Component Wt. Percent SiO 2 40-90 CaO 4-45 Na 2 O 0-35 P 2 O 5 2-16 CaF 2 0-25 B 2 O 3 0-4 K 2 O 0-8 MgO 0-5 A more prefered composition by weight percentage for bioactive glass is as follows: Component Wt. Percent SiO 2 40-68 CaO 5-30 Na 2 O 10-35 P 2 O 5 1-12 The present invention includes formulations which may comprise metal ions such as AgNO 3 , CuO, and ZnO, or other antimicrobial salts, including but not limited to, silver, copper and zinc ions. These metals may be in nitrate or acetate form. The preferred range for these salts is between 0 and 15% by weight. The present invention also includes formulations which do not comprise metal ions. The most preferred glass is Bioglass®™ (a trademark of University of Florida), which has a composition including about 45% by weight silicon dioxide, about 24.5% by weight sodium oxide, about 6% by weight phosphorus oxide, and about 24.5% by weight calcium oxide. Another preferred material is hydroxyapatite. Another preferred material for several applications are the porous sol-gel glasses. Particulate, non-interlinked bioactive glass is preferred for many embodiments ofthe present invention. That is, the glass is in the form of small, discrete particles, rather than a fused matrix of particles or a mesh or fabric (woven or non-woven) of glass fibers. Note that under some conditions the discrete particles ofthe present invention may tend to cling together because of electrostatic or other forces but are still considered to be non-interlinked. Preferably the particle size is less than about 90 microns; more preferably, less than about 20 microns; even more preferably, less than about 5 microns, and most preferably, less than about 2 microns, as measured by SEM or laser light scattering techniques, although different uses may advantageously use different particle sizes. The preferred particle size range for the bioactive glass is site and use dependent. Particle sizes less than about 1000 microns and greater than about 2 microns can also be used. Particles of such a small size range generally provide for the advantages ofthe present invention without eliciting undesirable immune responses. Without being bound to a particular theory, it is believed that there is a complex relationship between the type of ion being released from the glass, the amount of that ion, the rate at which release occurs, the pH ofthe surrounding environment, and the resulting anti-microbial or anti-inflammatory response. This effect is observed with respect to the particles of bioactive glass themselves and also in the aqueous solutions derived from the glass particles. Accordingly, in the compositions and uses described below, particulate and/or bioactive glass solutions derived from the particles may be used. Large particles of bioactive glass do not have appreciable antimicrobial properties. However, small particles of bioactive glass and highly porous bioactive glass do have appreciable antimicrobial properties. Bioactive glass has bactericidal properties and is effective against, for example, Staph. aureus, Staph. epidermidis, and various streptococci. These bacteria may be found in and on the skin. These antimicrobial properties are enhanced in an aqueous environment. While not being bound by a specific mechanism of action, it is believed that this action is a result, inter alia, ofthe greatly increased bioactivity ofthe small particulates, which leads to an increased pH ofthe surrounding environment. The combined properties of being both broadly bactericidal while at the same time maintaining tissue biocompatibility make a variety of formulations comprising small particles of bioactive glass resistant to microbial contamination and especially suitable for formulations which will contact the skin. The antimicrobial action increases with decreasing particle size. The preferred particle size depends, in part, on the expected microbial challenge and the desired purity ofthe formulation comprising bioactive glass For example, formulations having bioactive glass particles averaging 20 microns ordinarily is sufficient. However, for a longer lasting preservative effect or to maintain a higher degree of purity, particles averaging less than five microns as measured by SEM or laser light scattering techniques may be used. When highly porous bioactive glass is used in place of or in addition to small particles of bioactive glass, the pore size is between about 0 and 500 μm, preferably between about 10 and 150 μm, and more preferably, between about 50 and 100 μm. The degree of porosity of the glass is between about 0 and 85 %, preferably between about 30 and 80%, and more preferably between about 40 and 60 %. Porous bioactive glass can be prepared, for example, by incoφorating a leachable substance into the bioactive glass composition, and leaching the substance out ofthe glass. Suitable leachable substances are well known to those of skill in the art, and include, for example, sodium chloride and other water-soluble salts. The particle size ofthe leachable substance is roughly the size ofthe resulting pore. The relative amount and size ofthe leachable substance gives rise to the degree of porosity. Also, as described herein, porosity can be achieved using sintering and/or by controlling the treatment cycle of glass gels to control the pores and inteφores ofthe material. In addition, anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory compositions derived from aqueous extracts of bioactive glass can be formed by placing bioactive glass in an aqueous solution, allowing the glass to dissolve over a suitable period of time, for example, a week or more, and filtering out the dissolved glass particles. The solvent can also be evaporated to provide a solid material with anti-microbial properties. These compositions can be used in situations where elimination, reduction, or prevention of microbes, including but not limited to bacteria, viruses, and fungi would be advantageous, for example, in cosmetic formulations, cleaning agent formulations, functional foods and as a preservative for foods. The glass composition can be prepared in several ways to provide melt-derived glass, sol-gel derived glass and sintered glass particles. The sintered particles may be in sol-gel derived, unreacted, or pre-reacted melt-derived form. The glass composition is preferably melt-derived. Melt derived glass is generally prepared by mixing grains of oxides or carbonates, melting and homogenizing the mixtures at high temperatures, typically between about 1250 and 1400°C. The molten glass can be flitted and milled to produce a small particulate material. In each preparation, it is preferred to use reagent grade glass, especially when the glass is used to prepare materials which ultimately may be administered topically. Bioactive glass particles may be prepared using the melt-derived and grinding process described previously in U.S. Pat. No. 5,204,106, the disclosure of which is incoφorated herein by reference. Where particular particle size ranges are desired, sifting may be used to obtain such particles. For optimum sterility, glass particles may be ultrasonically cleaned, packaged in syringes and sterilized with gamma radiation. The particulate biologically active material used in the present invention may be prepared according to the methods ofthe art such as taught in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,159,358; 4,234,972; 4,103,002; 4,189,325; 134,171,544; 4,775,646; 4,857,046 and 5,074,916. For example, the raw materials (e.g., SiO 2 , CaO, Na 2 O and P 2 O 5 ) are mixed in a Nalgene® ™ plastic container on a ball mill for four hours. The mix is then melted in a platinum crucible at 1350°C and homogenized for 24 hours. The molten glass is poured into distilled, deionized water to produce a glass frit. Alternatively, ribbons may be prepared by pouring the glass over moving rollers. The frit or ribbons may be ground, for example, by one of several means. In one method the frit or ribbons are ground in a mortar and pestle and passed through ASTM sieves to produce the required particle size range. Alternatively, the frit or ribbons may be ground using a ball-milling or jet milling process. Bioactive glass may be derived using a drying step, which may include near-equilibrium drying. Near-equilibrium drying in place of or in addition to drying under dry conditions provides for much larger average pore size in the final composition at a given level of Si0 2. In addition near-equilibrium drying results in a higher rate of resoφtion as compared to traditionally prepared sol-gel bioactive glass materials. For example, in-vivo testing of one has shown that more than 50% of sol-gel material made in this manner resorbed at eight weeks. Comparable prior 4555 melt derived bioactive glasses, do not resorb at all by eight weeks. Indeed, it has been suggested that glasses including more than 55% silicon dioxide are not bioactive. As used herein, near-equilibrium drying is drying under the conditions near the two phase boundaries in the phase diagram at a temperature and pressure sufficient to yield a bioactive glass with large pore structure, i.e., a pore structure sufficient to yield a bioactive glass . For example, near-equilibrium drying may be drying under the conditions near the line for water as illustrated in conventional phase diagrams (or other liquids such as methanol, ethanol, acetone, liquid (CO 2 , benzene and so on). By manipulating the sealing ofthe designed drying chamber to adjust the extent ofthe drying condition away from the equilibrium line and relative humidity (from environmental humidity to 98%), the duration of near-equilibrium drying, and the temperature at which the drying is conducted, one can drastically alter pore size of resultant bioactive glass. For example, increasing the sealing ofthe drying chamber during drying typically results in an increase in relative humidity and pore diameter. Near- equilibrium drying temperature can also be varied, for example, with water drying. When using liquids other than water, such as those referred to above, one may obtain a faster drying or increase the pore size range ofthe gel to a large extent. A sol-gel process is any process that includes the use of a sol-gel in the preparation of bioactive glass. Sol-gel derived glass is generally prepared by synthesizing an inorganic network by mixing metal alkoxides in solution, followed by hydrolysis, gelation, and low temperature (around 200-900°C) firing to produce a glass. Sol-gel derived glasses produced this way are known to have an initial high specific surface area (SSA) compared with either melt-derived glass or porous melt derived glass. The resulting material contains nanometer- sized purosity and has a SSA ranging from 50-400m 2 /g. The sol-gel derived glass does not contain sodium. Thus, when this material comes into contact with an aqueous solution, the dissolution mechanisms are different from those associated with non-sol-gel-derived bioactive glass. Typically, sol-gel-derived bioactive glasses have the following composition by weight percentage: Component Wt. Percent SiO 2 49-90 CaO 5-42 P 2 O 5 1-12 A more prefered composition for sol-gel-derived bioactive glasses comprises the following composition by weight percentage: Component Wt. Percent SiO 2 49-72 CaO 5-35 P 2 O 5 5-9 The sol-gel-derived bioactive glass readily reacts with aqueous solutions because ofthe high SSA (i.e., there is a tremendous amount of surface area where glass/solution reactions can take place). When immersed in an aqueous solution, the sol-gel-derived bioactive glass begins to react, releasing soluble silica, calcium and phosphate anions. Once the concentration of calcium and phosphate anions is increased to the saturation limit for HAp, a mineralogical, HAp-rich layer will form on the surfaces that comprise the sol-gel-derived bioactive glass, and surrounding surfaces (i.e., hard and soft human tissues). For example, a reaction mixture including tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), triethylphosphate (TEP), and calcium nitrate can be used to make sol-gel bioactive glasses. Alkoxides of calcium, titanium, zirconium, magnesium, aluminum, iron and potassium also can be used. Other appropriate ingredients will also be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art. In addition, aerogels may be used. When an aerogel is used, increased pressure is used instead of near-equilibrium drying to achieve larger pore size and greater resorbability. Sol-gel processing which uses a near-equilibrium drying step yields larger pore size in the final product and permits development of HCA very rapidly for both high and low silicon dioxide content gels. Indeed, these compositions form HCA more rapidly than other gels when exposed to SBF (Simulated Body Fluid, Kokubo, T. et al., J. Biomed. Mater. Res., 24, 721-34, 1990) or physiological fluids. The near equilibrium drying technique also provides for more homogeneous gels which can be heated to higher temperatures while retaining large pore diameter. This permits much better control ofthe final product e.g. resorbability, homogeneity and physical structure. For example, sol-gel compositions derived without using near-equilibrium drying techniques are not able to provide adequate resorbability at higher levels of silicon dioxide. In contrast, the near-equilibrium drying technique provides gels having excellent resorbability even when high amounts of silicon dioxide are included. Such sol-gel glasses are also more homogeneous than other sol-gel glasses and calcium is distributed uniformly. This drying technique can be used to prepare all types of sol-gel bioactive glasses. For example, the technique can be used to prepare frit, ribbons, monoliths, powders, coatings, fibers, mats, weaves and composites. Frit can be ground to very broad ranges of particle size such as from about 2 μm up to 1 mm for any puφose. The monolith can be formed to complex shapes such as various implants. Powders can be made to spherical form and from submicron to a few hundred microns. Such compositions are useful, for example, in bone repair and other orthopedic applications, drug delivery, treating tooth hypersensitivity as well as the remineralization of tooth structure, burn healing and wound healing. While not being bound to any particular theory, it is believed that the near-equilibrium drying step reduces capillary force inside the pore structure ofthe gel which results in large pore size. Gels are networks of small colloid particles. The networks includes voids which become pores and pore channels in the final glass composition. It is believed that the moisture ofthe near-equilibrium drying step enhances the reaction at the neck between two particles in the network and the strength ofthe neck and "back bone" ofthe gel structure which reduces shrinkage ofthe drying structure and ultimately results in gels with large pores. On the other hand, due to the liquid tension, the pressure difference between the different size of pores and channels is: ΔP = 2γcosθ /r where, γ is liquid tension, θ is contact angle and r is the radius of pores and pore channels. During drying, the pressure difference, ΔP, will pull the network tight enabling pore collapse and gel shrinkage as liquid evaporates. It is believed that near-equilibrium drying allows the liquid inside the pore structure to evaporate under the condition of near equilibrium at a range of temperatures. This keeps liquid vapor pressure inside the channels and pores at high heating conditions which resists the shrinkage and collapse ofthe gel structure and results in large pore sizes. Bioactive glass, sol-gel derived bioactive glass and/or aqueous extracts of bioactive glass may be incoφorated into various cosmetic, cleaning agent, functional foods, nutritional supplements and other products as described below. Cosmetics General The present invention provides novel cosmetics compositions comprising bioactive glass. While current manufacturing processes generally control microbial contamination when the products are in sealed containers, after unsealing the package, bacteria, fungi and/or mold may contaminate the cosmetics. Often, various antibacterial agents are added to the cosmetics to minimize this process. These antibacterial agents, however, often create negative effects such as skin irritation for the cosmetic user. A goal ofthe present invention is to produce cosmetic formulations which, in contrast to presently available cosmetics, exhibit an ability to withstand microbial contamination without creating negative effects such as skin irritation. In one embodiment ofthe present invention, bioactive glass may be included in cosmetic formulations to minimize microbial contamination, including contamination by bacteria, fungi and/or mold. The cosmetic compositions can include the aqueous extracts of bioactive glass and/or particles of bioactive glass. In one embodiment the cosmetic formulation comprises particulate bioactive glass having an average particle size less than 10 microns. In another embodiment particulate bioactive glass having an average particle size less than 5 microns, and preferably less than 2 microns is used. Preferred cosmetic preparations are especially creams, make-up compounds, lipsticks, lotions and salves since the micro-biocidal effect of bioactive glass is further enhanced by the moisture contained in these preparations. However, bioactive glass can be added to virtually any cosmetic presently available to improve its resistance to contamination. Accordingly, the cosmetic may be liquid based, or alternatively, other than liquid based. Cosmetic formulations may include, for example, creams, lotions, lipsticks, make-up compounds and tinctures. In one embodiment the invention provides bioactive glass for use as a preservative of perishable goods. The perishable goods may be, for example, cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical preparations. In another embodiment the present invention provides a preservative which itself contains bioactive glass. The preservative which contains bioactive glass may be added to or included in cosmetic formulations. A cosmetic formulation in accordance with the present invention may contain an amount of bioactive glass up to 95% ofthe total weight ofthe cosmetic formulation, especially up to 70%, more especially up to 50%, or 40%, and even more preferably up to 30% ofthe weight ofthe cosmetic formulation. Upper limits of 7% ofthe weight or 5% ofthe weight are preferred for some formulations, whereby 3% ofthe weight is especially preferred in some formulations. Lower limits are 0.01% ofthe weight, especially 0.1% ofthe weight, whereby 0.5%) ofthe weight and 1% ofthe weight are especially preferred as the lowest effective amounts. In one embodiment the cosmetic formulation comprises a protic solvent. In another embodiment the cosmetic formulation contains bioactive glass which has components within the following ranges on a % weight basis: 40 - 60% SiO 2 , 10 - 30% CaO; 10 - 35% Na 2 O; 2 - 8% P 2 O 5 , 0 - 25% CaF 2 , 0 - 10 % B 2 O 3j 0 - 8 % K 2 O; and 0 - 5 % MgO. Cosmetic formulations in accordance with the present invention can be well preserved using bioactive glass, without having to add skin-irritating cytotoxic and possibly allergen producing chemical preservatives to the preparation. Furthermore, an additional nurturing effect may be achieved through the antimicrobial and inflammation-inhibiting effect of bioactive glass. The anti-inflammatory effects of bioactive glass make it particularly useful in skin care formulations by promoting reductions in irritation, itching, redness and rashes. In special cases it might be desirable to add the preservative in accordance with the present invention to preparations which have been preserved using standard preservatives in order to achieve synergetic effects. Bioactive glass has the ability to react with aqueous solutions (i.e., human perspiration, humidity, body fluids) to elicit biological effects such as anti-microbial/antibacterial behavior, UN screening, anti-infammatory behavior, mineralogical film forming, and therapeutic release of inorganic ions. These effects are considered advantageous for many cosmetic applications, and several examples of cosmetic formulations that can be used to include bioactive glass and/or sol-gel-derived bioactive glass within a cosmetic product are described herein. Bioactive glass forms a hydroxy carbonate layer (HCA) on protein-containing surfaces such as hair, skin, nails and teeth. This HCA layer can desensitize teeth, harden/thicken nails, protect skin and modify hair texture. Bioactive glass and/or sol-gel-derived bioactive glass may be effective at absorbing and scattering visible and UN light, making these materials attractive for soft focus and sun- screening applications. In one embodiment cosmetic products comprise sol-gel derived bioactive glass. The sol- gel-derived bioactive glass is extremely porous, and thus effective at scattering visible and UN light. The scatter of visible light is important for soft focus cosmetic products, which are intended to scatter light from the skin in such a way that skin wrinkles become less visible to the human eye. Further, the scatter of UN light is important for sunscreen products. Thus, the sol-gel-derived bioactive glass is effective at scattering UN light in the UNA and UNB regions ofthe solar spectrum and provides a soft focusing effect. Further, the sol-gel-derived bioactive glass reacts with aqueous solutions to form a solution that becomes concentrated in calcium, phosphate anions and soluble silica. When this solution becomes saturated, it can form a mineralogical, HAp-rich layer on the to surrounding human tissue. Thus, the sol-gel-derived bioactive glass is expected to be effective in soft focus products because it is effective at scattering visible light, and the precipitation ofthe mineralogical layer could act as a skin-tightening agent that would further aid in hiding skin wrinkles. It should also be noted that in addition to bioactive glass, antibiotics may also be added to cosmetic formulations. The addition of antibiotics to cosmetic products which include bioactive glass is particularly useful in formulations which require topical application. Methods of Making The present invention also provides a method of making cosmetic compositions comprising bioactive glass. An effective antimicrobial amount ofthe bioactive glass is added to or included in a cosmetic formulation. An "effective, antimicrobial amount of bioactive glass" refers to a sufficient amount of bioactive glass having an appropriate particle size to effectively prevent or control microbial contamination. The amount and particle size of bioactive glass to include in a cosmetic formulation will vary depending on the desired length and degree of purity as well as the anticipated microbial challenge. An "effective antimicrobial amount of bioactive glass" also may refer to a sufficient amount of an aqueous extract of bioactive glass to effectively prevent or control microbial contamination. An "effective antimicrobial amount" of bioactive glass may also refer to a combination of particulate bioactive glass and aqueous extract of bioactive glass to effectively prevent or control microbial contamination. Bioactive glass may be added to or included in cosmetic formulations using, for example, techniques or combinations of techniques such as general mixing with slow medium, moderate, or even vigorous agitation. Sufficient agitation should be provided to achieve relative homogeneity. Preferably, mixing and agitation will avoid excessive aeration and will have a low sheer rate. In addition, antifloculants may be used to keep the particles from clumping together. Other methods or combinations of methods of blending, dispersing, mixing, combining and/or emulsifying may be utilized. Agitation may be achieved, for example, with standard mixing devices. General mixing and blending may be achieved, for example, with an impeller. It has been unexpectedly discovered that for many cosmetic base formulations, bioactive glass is easier to homogeneously mix than other common inorganic powders, such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide powder, for example. Bioactive glass may be added to or included in virtually any known cosmetic formulation. Applicants anticipate as well that bioactive glass will be suitable for inclusion in any as yet to be developed cosmetic formulation. In one embodiment the bioactive glass may be particulate. In another embodiment the bioactive glass may be an aqueous solution derived from particulate bioactive glass. In still another embodiment the bioactive glass may be a combination of particulate bioactive glass and an aqueous solution derived from bioactive glass. Applicants have unexpectedly discovered that bioactive glass mixed with oil forms a cream. Likewise, bioactive glass mixed with water unexpectedly forms a cream. The cream resulting from mixing bioactive glass with either oil or water possesses a consistent homogenized texture particularly suitable for cosmetic formulations. Applicants have unexpectedly discovered that a combination of bioactive glass with standard skin creams give the skin a pleasant-non-oily feeling and look when compared with the same cream applied without the added bioactive glass. Without being bound to any mechanism, it is believed that the bioactive glass has an affinity for oils as well as water and protenaceous matter, which is consistent with the unexpected effect observed by which bioactive glass and oil form a smooth, homogeneous cream consistency. Thus bioactive glass is suitable as an effective treatment for oily/fatty skin. Bioactive glass and sol-gel derived bioactive glass exhibit many desirable characteristics that would improve cosmetic products. However, the difficulty lies in formulating the cosmetic products in such a way that the bioactive glass and/or sol-gel-derived bioactive glass remain unreacted (passive) while packaged, and then become reactive (active) when applied onto the human body. Bioactive glass and sol-gel-derived bioactive glass react with aqueous solutions, but are inert when immersed in anhydrous liquids. Thus, bioactive glass and/or sol-gel-derived bioactive glass may be formulated in liquids, pastes, gels or creams that are anhydrous, but water- soluble (or water permeable). In this instance, the bioactive glass remains un-reacted while immersed in the anhydrous liquid, paste, gel or cream, but would be activated when applied to the human body and allowed to react with perspiration, humidity, and/or other aqueous- containing bodily liquids. In one embodiment, bioactive glass and/or sol-gel-derived bioactive glass for cosmetic products are used in a dispensing system containing two separate vessels (i.e., similar to the dispensing system used for an epoxy). The bioactive glass and/or sol-gel-derived bioactive glass may be could be formulated in an anhydrous liquid, paste, cream or gel within one vessel, while an aqueous liquid, past, cream or gel may be contained within the second vessel. In another embodiment bioactive glass and/or sol-gel-derived bioactive glass are mixed with an anhydrous liquid, paste cream or gel that evaporated or is metabolized into the skin after being applied to the body. The anhydrous liquid, paste, cream or gel protects the bioactive glass while in the cosmetic package, yet disappears once applied to the body, thus allowing the bioactive glass to react with perspiration, humidity, and/or other aqueous-containing body liquids. In yet another embodiment, the desirable characteristics associated with bioactive glass and/or sol-gel-derived bioactive glass are achieved by utilizing an aqueous extract of derived from bioactive glass. The bioactive glass and/or sol-gel-derived bioactive glass may be reacted with an aqueous solution until the solution became saturated with calcium, phosphate anions and soluble silica. This solution could then be filtered, buffered to an appropriate pH, and then added to cosmetic formulations to develop cosmetic products in accordance with the present invention. In this embodiment, the formulation may contain aqueous cosmetic ingredients, since there would be no solid bioactive glass or sol-gel-derived bioactive glass available for reaction. In many cosmetic applications it is desired that the product have pH value of between 5 and 8. Maintaining this pH level with bioactive glass in an aqueous suspension, however, is difficult as the glass will continuously react in solution, increasing the pH value. Applicants have discovered that as little as 1 % citric acid can effectively buffer bioactive glass toward more neutral pH values over a long period in an aqueous suspension. This is to be contrasted with the effect of adding a standard buffer, such as HCL-based buffers to the same suspension, which do not maintain pH levels for suitable periods of time. Thus, citric acid is one preferred method of buffering aqueous based solutions with bioactive glass. Bioactive glass is especially useful in an aqueous containing formulation when the formulation is appropriately buffered to ensure that the pH remains near-neutral and when the bioactive glass is coated with a hydrophobic material that prevents the glass from reacting while in formulation. In another embodiment the bioactive glass and/or sol-gel-derived bioactive glass can be formulated into a dry form incoφorating other ingredients, for example colorants and fragrances, and packaged in small packets or caches for single use cosmetic products for skin, hair or nail applications, for example. The dry form may be a powder. The following raw materials listed in Table 1 were mixed with bioactive glass and produced stable compositions.

Pigmentation and sun care formulations comprising bioactive glass provide enhanced UN protection as compared to formulations not comprising bioactive glass. While not being bound by any specific theory, the high and irregular surface area of particulate bioactive glass is thought to contribute to this enhanced UN protection. In addition, the reactive glass surface provides a protective HCA layer to offer additional UN protection, Moreover, these formulations help to mitigate the effects of sun allergies by releasing soluble calcium. Bioactive glass begins to absorb UN light at wavelengths below 380 nm, and 0% transmittance was observed through a polished, 5 mm glass blank for UN light with a wavelength below 280 nm. Thus, bioactive glass should be an excellent sunblock for the UNB (270-320 nm) region, and a moderately good sunblock for the UNA (320-400 nm) region of solar radiation. The sun-blocking, effectiveness of bioactive glass should improve as a function of time, after it is applied to human skin. Bioactive glass is expected to react with human perspiration to form a porous, mineralogical, HAp-rich precipitate at the glass surface. This porous, surface precipitate is expected to scatter solar radiation, thus improving the sun-blocking characteristics ofthe bioactive glass with reaction time. Thus, bioactive glass is considered an active sunscreen ingredient that would improve over time as perspiration from the skin would activate the scattering characteristics that are associated with the HAp-rich surface precipitate. The transmittance through a 5 mm thick, polished sample of bioactive glass that was reacted with tris-buffered saline solution to form a surface precipitate of HAp was tested. The transmittance through the pre-reacted bioactive glass was found to be less than that through the un-reacted bioactive glass at any wavelength from 280 to 600 nm. Thus, the HAp layer formed by pre-reaction appears to scatter UN and visible light, and the bioactive glass should be more effective at blocking UN radiation once it begins to react with human perspiration on the skin.

The present invention provides for novel formulations of antibacterial, antiseptic, antibiotic, and first aid products by incoφorating bioactive glass into a combination of any ofthe above- listed ingredients. Formulations of particulate bioactive glass yield a composition which is capable of dramatically reducing the amount of time necessary for wound healing to occur and can augment the natural healing process. The effect of these formulations is most dramatically illustrated in the immune compromised patient whose ability to heal wounds is somewhat suppressed. Particulate bioactive glasses which are useful in treating wounds, bums, and abrasions typically have the following composition by weight percentage: Component Percent SiO 2 40-60 CaO 10-30 Na 2 O 10-3 5 P 2 O 5 2-8 CaF 2 0-25 B 2 O 3 0-10 K 2 O 0-8 MgO 0-5 The preferred composition ofthe bioactive glass is: SiO 2 45 CaO 24.5 Na 2 O 24.5 P 2 O 5 6 The preferred particle size range for the bioactive glass is small and less than 90 microns is recommended. Particle sizes less than 10 microns as well as less than 2 microns can also be used. Particles of such a small size range generally are effective without illiciting any undesirable immune response. Topical antibiotics are antibiotics suitable for skin treatment. Examples of such antibiotics include: chloramphenicol, chlortetracycline, clyndamycin, clioquinol, erythromycin, framycetin, gramicidin, fusidic acid, gentamicin, mafenide, mupiroicin, neomycin, polymyxin B, bacitracin, silver sulfadiazine, tetracycline and chlortetracycline. Those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that there are other appropriate topical antibiotics such as those listed in U.S.P.D., for example. The bioactive glass and topical antibiotic can be combined in any pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to facilitate application to a wound, bum, or abrasion. These compositions can be combined with an ointment, white petrolatum, mineral oil and other substances known to those of ordinary skill in the art. These bioactive glass and topical antibiotic compositions may also be combined with other wound, bum and abrasion treatments or dressings such as collagen, fibrin, fibronectin, vitamin E, gauze, cotton, cellulosic, synthetic wound or bum dressings and other wound or bum dressings/treatments known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Dressings of fiberglass and fiberglass made from fibers of bioactive glass can also be used. Bioactive glass may also be used to a skin grafting particulate bioactive glass may be added to the graft before it is placed in its intended location. The graft may also be further treated with a topical antibiotic prior to placement. The application of bioglass to grafts is intended to increase the likelihood that the graft will "take" and incoφorate in the host bed. While not being bound to any particular theory or mechanism, it is believed that the high surface area and reactivity of particulate bioactive glass provides for a release of sodium which increases pH and increase oxygen in the wound or burn which otherwise has a lower pH. This has an antimicrobial effect when bioactive glass is used and when used in combination with an antibiotic permits the antibiotic to function by activating various growth factors implicated in tissue repair. These reactions cause a higher negative surface charge on the glass surface and the development of a high specific surface area (e.g., from 0.5 m2/g by 12 hours) which attracts collagen, fibronectin and cells. Moreover, the bioactive glass provides for the precipitation of calcium and phosphorous naturally present in wound exudate and blood which cause the rapid formation of a calcium and phosphate layer that may incoφorate collagen, fibrin and fibronectin to stabilize the wound quickly and effectively. In some cases, wounds, bums, or abrasions healed with the composition or method ofthe present invention heal without the necessity of scab formation. That is, new epithelial tissue is formed directly. When bioactive glass is to be used in combination with an antibiotic it is preferable to mix the particulate bioactive glass and the antibiotic just before application to wound, bum, or abrasion. Accordingly, bioactive particulate glass and a topical antibiotic may be incoφorated into a two part system wherein bioactive glass and topical antibiotic are mixed and simultaneously applied. For example, a two part mixing syringe with two separate storage chambers and a mixing chamber can be used. Other two part systems could also be used. For example, particulate bioactive glass can be incoφorated into a bandage and the topical antibiotic can be applied to a wound, bum, or abrasion followed by application ofthe bandage. Alternatively, other two part delivery systems may be used.

The anti-microbial properties of bioactive glass are particularly useful in soap formulations. In addition, since soap-making is generally an anhydrous process, creating such formulations is a relatively straightforward process. Bioactive glass having certain particle sizes, create an abrasive effect and are particularly well-suited for certain hand soaps (i.e., "Lava"). In addition, bioactive glass may be spheroidized for facial soap similar to polymer beads included in certain facial cleaners. Anti-inflammatory properties of bioactive glass are particularly useful in both soak and anti- itch soak products. Such novel products reduce redness and skin irritation.

Bioactive glass compositions are useful in, for example, enamel remiralization, incipient caries remineralization, carious dentin remineralization, caries prevention, arresting decay, reversing decay, anti-caries, pit and fissure sealants, prophylactic pastes, fluoride treatments, dentinal sealants, etc. Bioactive glass may be included in toothpastes, liners, bases, gels, and restorative material ej ., packing, indirect pulp capping agent, etc. Such compositions are also useful in the treatment of surfaces after periodontal surgery to decrease dentinal sensitivity and enhance tissue attachment. These compositions are active in treating various defects associated with a variety of dental and other conditions and actually chemically and physically bond to the tooth thereby remineralizing tooth structure. As referred to herein, remineralization is the formation of hydroxyapatite. The formation of hydroxyapatite begins with exposure of a bioactive glass composition to aqueous solutions. It is believed that the sodium ions (Na+) in the bioactive glass exchanges with H+ ions in body fluids causing pH to increase. Calcium and phosphoms then migrate from the bioactive glass forming a calcium-phosphorous rich surface layer. An underlying silica rich zone slowly increases as the sodium ion in the bioactive glass continues to exchange with the hydrogen ion ofthe solution. After time, the calcium -phosphorous rich layer crystallizes into a hydroxyapatite material. Collagen can become structurally integrated with the apatite agglomerates. An effective remineralizing amount refers to any amount capable of forming hydroxyapatite. As the term "a tooth structure" is used herein, it is intended to refer to any feature or features of a tooth including but not limited to enamel, dentin, pulp, tooth root structure, cementum, root dentin, coronal dentin, any dental manufacture, etc. For example, the following composition by weight will provide a bioactive glass suitable for toothpaste and mouthwash formulations: Component Percent SiO 2 40-60 CaO 10-30 Na 2 O 10-3 5 P 2 O 5 2-8 CaF 2 0-25 B 2 O 3 0-10 K 2 O 0-8 MgO 0-5 Such bioactive glasses provide an efficacious material for interaction with the tooth stmcture and do not trigger an overwhelmingly adverse immune response. Bioactive glasses of specified particle sizes are particularly useful in toothpaste and mouthwash formulations especially when small and very small particles are combined. For example, when compositions including small particles that are capable of bonding with tooth stmcture (e.g., less than about 90 microns) as well smaller particles (e.g., less than about 10) are used in combination, the larger of these particles adhere to tooth stmcture and act as ionic reservoirs while the smaller are capable of entering and lodging inside of various tooth stmcture surface irregularities. The larger of these particles provide a reservoir of additional calcium and phosphorous so that the mineralization, or depositing ofthe calcium phosphate layer begun by the small particles can continue. Additional calcium and phosphorous can be leached to all tooth stmcture as well as to particles which have become attached to the inside or at the openings of surface irregularities of tooth stmcture such as dentinal tubules. This in turn provides for continuation ofthe entire reaction and continued growth ofthe smaller of these particles which have lodged inside or over the openings of such surface irregularities and can result in effectively coating or filling the surface irregularity. This excess concentration of ions of calcium and phosphorous is necessary for continued reaction ofthe smaller of these particles to take place because the smaller particles quickly exhaust their ions as a result of their relatively high surface area. The larger of these particles will react and release their ions more slowly as a longer term effect. Furthermore, the larger of these particles will mechanically abrade the tooth surface opening various surface iπegularities allowing small particles to enter and react with the surface irregularity. This effect is very beneficial in a variety of applications. For example, in preventing caries or decay, the composition ofthe present invention is capable of penetrating into the depths of the smallest of surface irregularities and receiving a continued supply of ions from larger nearby particles so that it is able to grow after exhausting its stored ion supply. This is also very useful in sealing pits and fissures and a much more effective and long lasting seal is obtained. For some applications extremely small particles are used. For example, particles that are in the range of 2 microns are used to fit inside dentin tubules that are approximately 1-2 microns in diameter. The occlusion of these tubules leads to a significant reduction in the amount of sensitivity after, for example, periodontal surgery. A particularly effective combination includes a mixture of particles, wherein the mixture comprises particles less than 2 microns and particles more than 45 microns. Theses bioactive glass compositions generally do not require time to set and are not easily washed away by mechanical abrasion caused by brushing, exposure to mild acids in food, salivary flow or other liquids which normally come in contact with the teeth. Such compositions can generally withstand significant agitation, rinsing with water and long term soaking in simulated saliva for five days. Moreover, many ofthe small particles do not require a set time because they begin to chemically react and adhere to tooth stmcture as soon as they come into contact with these surfaces and fluids naturally present in the mouth. Although such compositions are effective with a single application, it is likely that multiple applications will be more efficacious. As previously noted, relatively small particulate bioactive glass does not generate a significant immune response. Moreover, it is generally not engulfed by macrophages and rendered inactive. In addition, these bioactive glass compositions are capable of providing a bioactive layer that will form a new stmctural layer which is a lasting remineralization of tooth stmcture. This has been verified by the reformation of a hydroxycarbonate apatite layer on dentin surfaces after treatment with bioactive glass compositions with Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Such bioactive glass compositions may comprise particles having a particle size of about 20 microns with about 30 percent ofthe particles less than 10 microns. Other formulations may comprise bioactive glass particles have an average particle size of 10 microns with at least 25%> smaller than 2 microns. These compositions may be formulated into toothpaste. In fact, the particles may replace the silica currently used in toothpastes. The addition of fluoride in the glass composition will enhance and strengthen the tooth stmcture. In addition to direct application ofthe bioactive glass to the teeth, these bioactive glass compositions may also be applied in a saline or distilled water based medium. These compositions may also be formulated into mouthwash, gel or they may be applied by a dentist as a paste. These compositions can be used in methods for whitening, lightening or bleaching teeth. These methods are also useful for removing stains from teeth. These methods include contacting teeth with an effective tooth- whitening amount of bioactive glass, especially methods using multiple applications. Each application may include between about 0.02 to 0.3 grams of bioactive glass. Suitably, these methods of whitening teeth comprise contacting the teeth with an effective tooth- whitening amount of bioactive glass twice daily for two weeks or more. "Tooth-whitening amount" generally refers to any amount that will result in a Vita shade guide lightening of one or more shades in a patient with a pre-treatment shade darker than A3.5 after 4 weeks of application twice daily for two minutes or more per application. Methods for whitening teeth may also comprise contacting teeth with an effective tooth- whitening amount of particulate bioactive and biocompatible glass comprising silicon oxide or hydroxide and optionally one or more elements such as Na, K, Ca, Mg, B, Ti, Al, P, N or F. Such bioactive glass compositions usually comprises at least Na, Ca and P, although it is possible to use simple sodium silica glasses together with external sources of calcium and phosphate. An external source of calcium and phosphate may be from saliva itself, or may be formulated into the oral hygiene composition. The addition of fluoride in bioactive glass compositions enhances and strengthens the tooth structure. Other examples include sol gel glasses having, for example, about 40 to about 86 % by weight SiO 2 , substantially no amount of sodium, about 6-36 % by weight Ca and about 2-12 %) by weight P 2 0 5 . Bioactive glass compositions comprising extremely small particles may also be used. For example, particles that are in the range of 2 microns are beneficial. Particle size may be determined by scanning electron microscopy or laser light scattering techniques (e.g., Coulter LSI 00). As stated previously, relatively small bioactive particulate glass does not generate a significant immune response. Moreover, it is generally not engulfed by macrophages and rendered inactive. These compositions may be formulated as oral hygiene compositions such as dentifrice's, toothpaste, gels, powders, mouthwashes, irrigating solutions, and presentations for sucking or chewing such as gums, pastilles, tablets, and lozenges. Such oral hygiene compositions may comprise between 0.1 to 50% by weight. Formulations comprising 1 to 25% by weight are preferable, while formulations comprising 5 to 10 % by weight ofthe bioactive glass are even more preferable. In addition to the active ingredients, suitable oral hygiene compositions may contain the usual carriers, binders, surfactants, humectants, coloring agents, pigments, antiplaque agents, antibacterial agents, bioadhesive-type agents, abrasives, anticaries agents, flavorings, sweeteners, bulking agents, and the like. In the case of a toothpaste formulation, an abrasive typically includes amoφhous, gelled, precipitated, or fumed silica, plastics particles, alumina, calcium carbonate, and zinc orthophosphate, insoluble metaphosphates and calcium pyrophosphate. Silica is an especially suitable abrasive. The bioactive glass particles may replace all, some, or none ofthe abrasive currently used in toothpastes. Inorganic thickeners may be included in the dentifrice's and further include fumed silicas such as Cabosil available from Cabot Coφoration, and thickening silicas including those available from J. M. Huber designated Zeodent 165. Organic thickeners such as natural and synthetic gums and colloids may also be incoφorated in dentifrice compositions. Examples of such thickeners include carrageenan (Irish moss), xanthan gum and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, starch, polyvinlpyrrolidone, hydroxyethyl propyl cellulose, hydroxbutyl methyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, and hydroxyethyl cellulose (co-dried blends of microcrystalline celluloselcellulose gum). The inorganic or organic thickener may be incoφorated in such compositions at a concentration of about 0.05 to about 2 % by weight and preferably about 0.1 to about 1.5 % by weight. Fluoride-providing salts having anti-caries efficacy may also be incoφorated in the oral compositions and are characterized by their ability to release fluoride ions in water. It is preferable to employ a water-soluble salt fluoride providing about 10 to 5,000 ppm of fluoride ion and preferably about 1000 to 1500 ppm of fluoride ion. Among these materials are water-soluble alkali metal salts, for example, sodium fluoride, potassium fluoride, sodium monofluorophosphate and sodium fluorosilicate. Sodium monofluorophosphate is a preferred fluoride-providing salt. Pigments may include non-toxic, water insoluble inorganic pigments such as titanium dioxide and chromium oxide greens, ultramarine blues and pinks and ferric oxides as well as water insoluble dye lakes prepared by extending calcium or aluminum salts of FD&C dyes on alumina such as FD&C Green #1 lake, FD&C Blue #2 lake, FD&C R&D #30 lake and FD&C Yellow #15 lake. The pigments have a particle size in the range of 5-1000 microns, preferably 250-500 microns, and are present at a concentration of 0.5 to 3 % by weight. Dyes are generally sensitive to the presence ofthe peroxide ingredient and are not included in the dentifrice although FD&C Green #3 has been found to be resistant to fading when Ca02 is present in the dentifrice. Any suitable flavoring or sweetening material may be employed. Examples of suitable flavoring ingredients are flavoring oils, e.g., oils of spearmint, peppermint, wintergreen, sassafras, clove, sage, eucalyptus, marjoram, cinnamon, lemon, and orange, and methyl salicylate. Suitable sweetening agents include sucrose, lactose, maltose, sorbitol, sodium cyclamate, perillartine, and sodium saccharin. Suitably, flavor and sweetening agents may together comprise from 0.01 % to 5 % or more ofthe preparations. Various other materials may be incoφorated into-these oral compositions. For example, preservatives, silicones and chlorophyll compounds, vitamins such as vitamins B6, B12, C, E and K, antibacterial agents such as chlorhexidine, halogenated diphenyl ethers such as triclosan, desensitizing agents such as potassium nitrate and potassium citrate and mixtures thereof may be included. These adjuvants are incoφorated in the dentifrice in amounts which do not substantially adversely affect the properties and characteristics desired, and are selected and used in proper amounts, depending upon the particular type of component involved. The making of gels, toothpastes, rinses, mouthwashes, gums, and chewing gums are well known in the art. Bioactive glasses can be introduced into these products by a variety of methods including simple mixing. In some circumstances it will be necessary to keep the bioactive glass from coming into contact with the aqueous or other components ofthe delivery vehicle to prevent the bioactive glass from pre-reacting. This can be accomplished in a number of ways including, for example, two piece syringes with a mixing chamber.

These oral formulations may be used together with a source of calcium and/or phosphate in the manufacture of a composition for whitening teeth. The antimicrobial and abrasive effects of bioactive glass are particularly useful in mouthwash and mouth rinse products to reduce bacteria and to remove stains.

Bioactive glass also may be added to or incoφorated into nail files, e.g., fingernail and toenail files. The anti-inflammatory properties of bioactive glass make it particularly well- suited for use with such nail care devices. In addition, bioactive glass may be used with men's or women's shaving devices, including but not limited to disposable and electric razors. The antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of bioactive glass make it well-suited for use in such products. Bioactive glass may also be added to or included in oral care products such as Ambisol. The anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties of bioactive glass can be beneficial in such products. Example 14 below provides exemplary embodiments of additional prototype cosmetic formulations incoφorating bioactiv glass, including sol-gel-derived bioactive glass. Example 14: Additional Protype Cosmetic Formulations Several prototype cosmetic products comprising bioactive glass were developed as follows. 1. A soft focus cosmetic product was developed and comprised a sol-gel-derived bioactive glass powder mixed with a commercially available facial cream. This product gave the appearance of wrinkle reduction and skin-tightening when applied to the face. 2. A shampoo product, containing 5 wt% of 4 μm bioactive glass formulated in a combination of Standapol ES-2, Crosultaine C-50, Foamid C, deionized H 2 0, Phenobact and citric acid. 3.

A nail hardening creme containing 30% bioactive glass and composition MV00/036/04/01B Example 15 below demonstrates that the cosmetic formulations comprising bioactive glass, including sol-gel-derived bioactive glass, do not irritate the skin or result in any perceivable allergic hypesensitivity. Example 15: Skin Sensitivity Tests Several prototype products (Bioglass (30% utl.) in an O/W-Formulation) were tested to determine if skin irritation or allergic hypersensitivity was present following the use of any of the protypte cosmetic compositions comprising bioactive glass. Patch testing represents a sound, relatively safe and reasonable reliable method for identifying allergens. A positive reaction to a correctly applied patch-test proves that the person has a contact sensitivity to the substance tested, but not necessarily that the substance is the cause ofthe clinical dermatitis. In patch testing, the suspected topical allergen has to penetrate the stratum comeum to the viable (effector) cells ofthe skin to present a local challenge to the immune system. Methods: The product to be tested is applied on a patch of filter paper, placed on an impermeable sheet and fixed to the skin with adhesive tape (Leukotest (R), Fa. Hartmann). Test site: inner side of the forearm. The test patch is left in place for 24 hours then removed. The examination by the dermatologist followes. A second and third examination are performed after 48 and 72 hours by the dermatologist. All assessments were performed under standard lighting conditions by the responsible dermatologist. Panellists were instructed to keep the test sites dry over the application period. Results: Under the conditions of this test no evidence of primary irritation or allergic hypersensitivity was present. None ofthe thirty patch-tests resulted in positive reactions after 24, 48 and 72 hours. The tested products are considered safe for use. Examples 16 and 17 below provide the results of inhibition zone tests and demonstrates the anti-microbial effects of bioactive glass. The anti-microbial effects of bioactive glass are useful in many ofthe cosmetic formulations described above. Example 16: Inhibition Zone Test Liquid Caso agar or Sabouraud agar was mixed with the corresponding test organism (target: 10 5 CFU/plate) and poured into petri dishes. After the agar had cooled, a disk (approx. 1 cm in diameter) was punched out ofthe agar and was filled with approximately 0.5 g 45S (Bioaglass TM) bioactive glass powder. The agar was stored for 2 hours at 5° C and subsequently incubated. After completion ofthe incubation period (1 - 5 days), the samples were checked for inhibition zone formation and growth. The test organisms used were: - Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633 - Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 - Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027 - Candida albicans ATCC 10231 - Aspergillus niger ATCC 16404 Results: Size of inhibition zone in mm per sample batch pH controls on nutrient media without seeding with microorganisms, but in the presence of the sample resulted in the following: on glass powder: pH >= 10 on agar near glass powder pH 9.5 on agar (periphery): pH 8.5 (control plate without glass powder: pH 7.5) Example 17: Concentration Dependent Inhibition Test Liquid Caso agar or Sabouraud agar was mixed with the corresponding test organism (target: 10 5 CFU/plate) as well as variable amounts (see chart below) of 45 S bioactive glass powder and poured into petri dishes. The agar was stored for 2 hours at 5° C and subsequently incubated. After completion ofthe incubation period (1 - 5 days) the samples were checked for inhibition zone formation and growth. The test organisms used were: - Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633 - Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 - Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027 - Candida albicans ATCC 10231 - Aspergillus niger ATCC 16404 Results: Organism count using different amounts of glass powder + = growth detectable after subcultivation = no growth detectable after subcultivation n.d. = not performed The antimicrobial effect of bioactive glass could be detected both in the inhibition zone test as shown in Example 16 and as a function of concentration as shown in Example 17. The reduction in microbial growth correlates with a pH increase in the medium. Examples 18 and 19 below demonstrate the effect of bioactive glass on a variety of microorganisms. Example 18: Microbiological Test Series Microbiological test series with individual microorganisms of an aqueous solution of bioactive glass (clear supernatant), O/W emulsion, W/O emulsion each with different concentrations of bioactive glass. Conditions: • Individual microorganism suspension • With common salt (in the aqueous solution) • pH value unchanged • Non-sterilized aqueous solution Arrangement: • Overview tables of load test of individual microorganisms • Test formulas V99/020/01/11-19 (aqueous supernatant) • Test formulas V99/020/02/01a-h (O/W emulsion) (a-h = different concentrations BioGlas / none to 0.2% VSM 12650) • Test formulas V99/020/02/02a-f (O/W emulsion) (a-f = different concentrations BioGlas / none to 20% VSM12650) • Test formulas V99/020/03/01a-h (W/O emulsion) (a-h = different concentration BioGlas / none to 0.2% VSM 12650) • Test formulas V99/020/03/02a-f (W/O emulsion) (a-f = different concentration BioGlas / none to 20% VSM 12650) • Load test MB990669 - 713 (aqueous supernatant) • Load test MB990714 - 743 (O/W emulsion) • Load test MB990744 - 773 (W/O emulsion) • Stability test S990029 (for V99/020/02/01h) • Stability test S990046 (for V99/020/02/02e) • Stability test S990030 (for V99/020/03/01h) • Stability test S990047 (for V99/020/03/02e) Results: Aqueous Supematent Except for Aspergillus niger, all load tests show a logical course ofthe test series. From a concentration of between 3% and 5% of bioactive glass, no growth is detectable even after 6 load cycles. Bioactive glass is most effective against Staphylococcus aureus. Aspergillus niger, starting from the 4th load cycle, no longer shows any growth inhibition. Bioactive glass is effective against Aspergillus niger at higher concentrations up to the 4th load cycle. (Note: this result is not suφrising since Aspergillus niger, compared to other species, frequently presents a problem with other preservation systems as well.) O/W Emulsion / W/O Emulsion Even at lower concentrations of bioactive glass (2%), a clear preservative effect is observed. But here, too, Aspergillus niger exhibits the behavior described above. Stability S990029 = O/W emulsion base V99/020/02/01h = 0.2% VSM12650 Normal test: -7° C / 40° C; stable Extreme test: -14° C / 60° C; separation in 3rd cycle S990046 = O/W emulsion base V99/020/02/02e = 20% VSM 12650 Normal test: stable Extreme test: stable S990030 = W/O emulsion base V99/020/03/01h - 0.2% VSM12650 Normal test: separation after 3rd cycle Extreme test: n/a S990047 = W/O emulsion base V99/020/03/02e = 20% VSM12650 Separation of emulsion even before the start ofthe test series. (+), (++): contamination with foreign microorganisms Example 19: Microbiological Test Series Microbiological Test Series with individual microorganisms of selected O/W emulsion (V99/020/04/03 (G4) = new laboratory sample V99/020/06/01 ) Conditions: • individual microorganism suspension • pH value changed to values typical in cosmetics (citric acid) • non-sterilized Arrangement: • overview table of load test of individual microorganisms • overview table of pH adjustment and change over time • test formulas V99/020/06/01 a-f • load test MB991000-1034 Results/Conclusions : Although, microorganism sterility with O/W emulsions is difficult to achieve the first smear (blank) shows sterility except for E.coli. In addition, despite selecting a suitable O/W emulsion base this base has its own preservative effect against E.coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The results from Example 19 indicate: 1. The pH value ofthe O/W base increases again in the course ofthe test series to the values before adjustment with citric acid. The pH value ofthe sample without bioactive glass remains unchanged. 2. Microorganism growth is clearly inhibited. 3. With hight concentrations even a difficult to control organism such as Aspergillus niger is effectively inhibited. 4. High pH value correlates with microorganism inhibition. Cleaning Agents General The present invention provides novel cleaning agent compositions comprising bioactive glass. The present invention also provides methods of making and using these novel nontoxic cleaning agents. Particulate bioactive glass and/or aqueous extracts of particulate bioactive glass can be added to standard household cleaning agents as well as industrial cleaning agents. The resulting formulations provide cleaning agents with enhanced cleaning and anti-microbial properties. In addition to the direct anti-microbial effects of bioactive glass, the increased pH resulting from the presence of bioactive glass also enhances cleaning. In addition, bioactive glass has a high affinity for proteinaceous matter, such as blood and food as well as oil and grease. Cleaning agents containing bioactive glass may be used to effectively clean and disinfect surfaces including, but not limited to painted walls, wood furniture, vinyl floors (waxable and nonwax), vitreus china, porcelain enamel, stainless steel, plastic laminate (Formica®), plastic, acrylic, fiberglass, and chrome. These new cleaning agents may also be used to effectively clean textile materials, including but not limited to, rugs woven from wool, various synthetic fibers, and articles of clothing. A traditional cleaning agent may be, for example, a compound containing one or more surfactants useful for dissolving dirt in a solvent, especially in an aqueous solvent. Surfactants are generally effective in cleaning grease or oily dirt. However, other dirt, such as proteins or dirt containing proteins, e ^ g., blood, other staining substances such as coffee or tea, as well as invisible dirt, including dirt from microorganisms, cannot be cleaned in this way alone. For this reason a bleaching agent and/or disinfecting agent are usually added to the cleaning formulations, so that the remaining dirt is at least removed to the point that it is no longer visible. Stains are usually removed oxidatively after the grease and pigment dirt is dissolved. Oxidative removal is generally accomplished, for example, with chlorine-containing chemicals. Chlorine-containing chemicals generally remove only the coloring part ofthe stain, whereas the other indissoluble substances remain with the basic substance. Because of its high reactivity, the disadvantage of chlorine is that it aggressively attacks colored surfaces or substances such as fabrics changing the color tone or causing the colors to bleed. In addition, chlorine aggressively attacks the substance to be cleaned, especially fabrics, so that their basic structure is destroyed after multiple washings. Previous attempts to alleviate the oxidizing effect of chlorine involved the use per-acetic acid. Although per-acetic acid has an adequate disinfecting effect, its ability to penetrate porous material is insufficient, which in turn leads to an unsatisfactory sterilization effect. In addition, per-acetic acid has an oxidizing effect, although to a smaller degree. Although the oxidizing effect of per acetic acid may not create a color-destroying bleaching effect, in most cases its disinfecting effect is not sufficient. For this reason is not possible, for example, to remove aerobic spore producers. Furthermore, the use of per-acids results in significant damage to some materials, such as woolens. Accordingly, a goal of one embodiment of present invention is to produce cleaning agents which are non-toxic, yet provide an antimicrobial effect, while also providing good cleaning qualities. * 74- • Since bioactive glass releases Ca ions, it was expected that the presence of bioactive glass in an aqueous solution would significantly increase the hardness ofthe solution. It was therefore expected that calcification would increase resulting in a reduction of cleaning action, so that these glasses would not be suitable for use as washing and cleaning agents. Moreover, it was expected that the abrasive effect of glass particles would result in a mechanical damage of materials, especially in textiles, which would lead to a corrosion ofthe fabric. Nevertheless, applicants unexpectedly found that a variety of effective cleaning agents could be formulated comprising bioactive glass. Surprisingly, the effectiveness ofthe washing agent is not hindered by the release of alkaline ions and there is no increase in the hardness ofthe water or calcification. Also, these novel cleaning agents do not corrode or damage the materials being cleaned, especially textile fabrics, as feared through the addition ofthe glass particles. Bioactive glass is well-suited as a glass cleaner since it is "softer" than standard household cleaners and is suitable as a mild abrasive. In addition, the soluble minerals released by bioactive glass strengthens glass. For example, silicon released by bioactive glass is especially helpful in strengthening and protecting glass products by preventing crack propagation. Bioactive glass coats cracks in glass and builds up a protective silicon layer. The present invention also provides a cleaning agent containing bioactive glass which not only acts as a biocide against viruses and bacteria, but is also gentle on skin and materials, causes no allergic reactions and cleans hard to remove dirt such as set-in proteins. The present invention also provides non-toxic cleaning agents having biocidal and dirt removing properties to be used in conjunction with a solvent having at least one surface active agent. In one embodiment the cleaning agent is non-toxic and has biocide and dirt-removing features for joint usage with a dissolving agent containing at least a surface active agent and contains bioactive glass particles that release more than 250 μg of alkaline ions per gram of glass particles. In another embodiment the cleaning agent comprises bioactive glass particles which release at least 300 μg of alkaline ions per gram of glass particles. The glass particles preferably have an average particle size of smaller than 400μm. In another embodiment the glass particles have an average particle size of smaller than lOOμm. In one embodiment the cleaning agent comprises tenside as a surface active agent. In another embodiment the cleaning agent contains bioactive glass which has components within the following ranges on a % weight basis: 40 - 60% SiO 2 , 10 - 30% CaO; 0 - 35% Na 2 O; 2 - 8% P 2 O 5> 0- 25% CaF 2 , 0 - 10 % B 2 O 3 , 0- 8 % K 2 O; and 0 - 5 % MgO. In one embodiment the cleaning agent comprises approximately 1 - 7% ofthe weight of glass particles in terms of the total weight of cleaning agent. In one embodiment the invention provides a method of making a cleaning agent in which glass particles are added to at least one surface active agent, which release at least 250 μg of alkaline ions per gram of glass particles. In another embodiment the invention provides a method of using a cleaning agent in clean objects such as a variety of surfaces and textile materials. In one embodiment the cleaning agent is a dish-washing agent. In another embodiment the invention provides a method of using a cleaning agent for cleaning in hospitals, clinics, and in the gastronomy industry. In one embodiment the cleaning agent containing bioactive glass releases more than 250 μg of alkaline ions per gram of glass particles. The glass particles contained in the cleaning agent according to another embodiment ofthe present invention preferably release more than 300 μg, and especially more than 500 μg of alkaline ions per gram of glass particles. Glass particles that release more than lmg of alkaline ions per gram of glass are even more especially preferred. Such cleaning agents are not only useful for cleaning and sterilizing surfaces and textile materials but also may be used to clean and sterilize surgical instruments. In addition, cleaning agents containing bioactive glass are useful as dish washing agents, especially for use in dish washers. These novel cleaning agents may also be used in for disinfecting and cleaning surfaces and materials in the sanitation, hospital, and gastronomy industries. Methods of Making The present invention also provides a method of making cleaning agent compositions comprising bioactive glass. An effective antimicrobial amount ofthe bioactive glass is added to or included in a cleaning agent formulation. An "effective, antimicrobial amount of bioactive glass" refers to a sufficient amount of bioactive glass having an appropriate particle size to effectively prevent or control microbial contamination. The amount and particle size of bioactive glass to include in a cleaning agent formulation will vary depending on the desired length and degree of purity as well as the anticipated microbial challenge. An "effective antimicrobial amount of bioactive glass" also may refer to a sufficient amount of an aqueous extract of bioactive glass to effectively prevent or control microbial contamination. An effective antimicrobial amount of bioactive glass may also refer to a combination of particulate bioactive glass and aqueous extract of bioactive glass to effectively prevent or control microbial contamination. Bioactive glass may be added to or included in cleaning agent formulations using, for example, techniques or combinations of techniques such as general mixing with slow medium, moderate, or even vigorous agitation. Sufficient agitation should be provided to achieve relative homogeneity. Preferably, mixing and agitation will avoid excessive aeration and will have a low sheer rate. Other methods or combinations of methods of blending, dispersing, mixing, combining, and/or emulsifying may be utilized. Agitation may be achieved, for example, with devices such as standard mixers. General mixing and blending may be achieved, for example, with an impeller. Bioactive glass may be added to or included in virtually any known cleaning agent formulation. Applicants anticipate as well that bioactive glass will be suitable for inclusion in any as yet to be developed cleaning agent formulation. In one embodiment the bioactive glass may be particulate. In another embodiment the bioactive glass may be an aqueous solution derived from particulate bioactive glass. In still another embodiment the bioactive glass may be a combination of particulate bioactive glass and an aqueous solution derived from bioactive glass. In one embodiment the method of making these novel cleaning agents comprises combining a cleaning agent with one or more surfactants and with bioactive glass. The method may also include adding a solvent. In one embodiment the method comprises adding particulate bioactive glass and/or an aqueous extract of bioactive glass. The aqueous solutions of bioactive glass may be dried, for example, by spray drying or by drying in vacuo to provide an antimicrobial composition. The compositions can be incoφorated into other antimicrobial solutions or cleaning agents to provide an additional antimicrobial component to the solutions or cleaning agents. The present invention will be more clearly understood with reference to the following non-limiting examples.

Food Preservatives, Nutritional Supplements and Functional Food Formulations Food Preservatives Numerous foods are potentially infected with bacteria, such as E. coli. Ground beef and chicken are particularly susceptible to bacterial infection. Aqueous solutions including an aqueous extract from bioactive glass have anti-bacterial properties. The anti-bacterial effect is due, in part, to the basic nature ofthe solution (pH greater than about 7, preferably greater than about 9, more preferably greater than about 10.5). However, sodium hydroxide solutions of relatively high pH are not as effective at killing bacteria. Accordingly, the solutions have additional antibacterial elements present than merely a relatively high pH. The bioactive glass compositions may be sprayed on contaminated surfaces, or incoφorated into food products such as ground beef. Since bioactive glass has been approved for various uses by the FDA, the extract of bioactive glass should be harmless to humans. In addition, bioactive glass has no effect on taste or texture. It should be noted that in addition to bioactive glass, antibiotics may also be added to food preservatives, nutritional supplements and functional food formulations. The addition of antibiotics to food preservatives, nutritional supplements and functional food formulations which include bioactive glass is particularly effective in formulations which are orally ingested. Functional Foods/Nutritional Supplements It has been shown in several animal models that soluble silica is essential for proper absoφtion/metabolization of calcium. Thus, without adequate levels of soluble silica, the effects of supplemented calcium may be defeated. Accordingly, the addition of bioactive glass to calcium supplemented foods may improve calcium absoφtion. In addition, antacids are increasingly being sold as calcium supplements. Accordingly the addition of bioactive glass to antacid formulation may increase calcium absoφtion, and due to its effects on pH also reduces acid. Likewise, other calcium supplements and calcium added to foods such as orange juice, cereals, and nutritional shakes can benefit from the increased calcium absoφtion provided by bioactive glass. In addition, the anti-inflammatory properties of bioactive glass make it suitable as a treatment for internal inflammations such as stomach and intestinal inflammations. Methods of Making For enteral administration, the bioactive glass particulates can be incoφorated into an inert carrier in discrete units such as capsules, cachets, tablets or lozenges, each containing a predetermined amount ofthe particles; as a powder or granules; or a suspension or solution in an aqueous liquid or non-aqueous liquid, e.g., a syrup, an elixir, an emulsion or a draught. Suitable carriers may be starches or sugars and include lubricants, flavorings, binders, and other materials ofthe same nature. A tablet may be made by compression or molding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed tablets may be prepared by compressing in a suitable machine the active compound in a free-flowing form, e.g., a powder or granules, optionally mixed with accessory ingredients, e.g., binders, lubricants, inert diluents, surface active or dispersing agents. Molded tablets may be made by molding in a suitable machine, a mixture ofthe powdered active compound with any suitable carrier. A syrup suspension may be made by adding the active compound to a concentrated, aqueous solution of a sugar, e^., sucrose, to which may also be added any accessory ingredients. Such accessory ingredients may include flavoring, an agent to retard crystallization ofthe sugar or an agent to increase the solubility of any other ingredient, ej*., as a polyhydric alcohol, for example, glycerol or sorbitol.

The present invention provides for novel formulations of silica supplement and silica supplemented products by incoφorating bioactive glass into a combination of any ofthe above-listed ingredients. Alternatively, bioactive glasss itself may be considered the silica supplement or may replace the silica found in existing formulations of silica supplements. Applicants have found that bioactive glasses provide superior and unexpected results in comparison to standard dietary silica supplements. Applicants have found that bioactive glasses release soluble silica into physiological environments in beneficial ways that have not heretofore been appreciated. Bioactive glasses also provide for an unusually large physical surface area that presents silanol groups which have activity that in many ways is similar to soluble silica. Note that this is particularly true for sol-gel-derived glasses. Applicants have found that both the released soluble silica and the available silanol groups provide for an efficient mechanism for sequestering and removing metal ions from the body. The glass particles, which may be micron-sized, sequester or bind metal ions and are flushed through organs ofthe body (e.g. the kidneys and intestines) and excreted from the body. In this way, bioactive glasses can be used to reduce or minimize the toxic effects of many metal ions. Bioactive glasses are particularly helpful in reducing or minimizing the toxic effects of aluminum. In addition to the sequestering or binding discusssed above, bioactive glasses release additional calcium and phosphate, which aluminum tends to bind. The aluminum so bound is thus made less available for toxic effects or damaging physiological processes. Accordingly, dietary supplements incoφorating bioactive glass may be beneficial for treating or preventing many harmful disease processes and conditions associated with, for example, aluminum including, but not limited to, osteoporosis, osteodystrophy, and other conditions in which stimulation of of osteoblastic activity is desired. In addition, these dietary supplements by binding aluminum, may be beneficial in preventing, slowing, or reversing the effects of Alzheimer's disease, various forms of encephalopathy, and various forms of myocardial dysfunction. In addition to aluminum, bioactive glass can be used to bind other metal ions, including, for example, lead, cadmium, zinc, and iron. Accordingly, harmful or toxic effects of these and other metal ions may be prevented, slowed, or reversed. In addition to the products listed above, bioactive glass may be added to or included in the following household products: dust filters, wall paint wallpaper, toilet seat covers, mold remover, ceramic/bathroom tile laminates, water filters, mattress fillers, cleaning agents for solariums and sun beds, toilet brushes, pet litter (such as the products marketed under the brand names Litter Clean, Tidy Cat, Arm & Hammer, Classy Cat, Everfresh, Fresh Step, Jonny, Sani-Scoop and Scoop Away) and cutting boards to make these products highly resistant to microbial contamination and to increase the pH. The present invention also provides novel products useful in the animal care and veterinary fields. Bioactive glass may also be added to or included, for example, in the following animal/veterinary products to make these products highly resistant to microbial contamination and to increase the pH: sand for bird cages, kitty litter, flea powder, and dry shampoos for animals. Bioactive glass may also be added to or included in the following products: fungicide/pesticide for agriculture, marine antifoulant, coating for glass and cleaners for industrial food and beverage containers, concrete, ceramics, and tile, to name a few, to make these products highly resistant to microbial contamination and to increase the pH.
