Uniform films for rapid-dissolve dosage form incorporating anti-tacking compositions

An oral film for delivery of a desired amount of an active component comprising:

• an ingestible, water-soluble, polymer matrix;
• at least one anti-tacking agent selected from the group consisting of stearates;
• stearic acid;
• waxes;
• a blend of magnesium stearate and sodium lauryl sulfate;
• boric acid;
• surfactants;
• sodium benzoate;
• sodium acetate;
• sodium chloride;
• DL-Leucine;
• polyethylene glycol;
• sodium oleate;
• sodium lauryl sulfate;
• magnesium lauryl sulfate;
• talc;
• corn starch;
• amorphous silicon dioxide;
• syloid;
• metallic stearates, Vitamin E, Vitamin E TPGS, silica and combinations thereof;
• and
• a substantially uniform distribution of said desired amount of said active component within said polymer matrix, wherein said active component is selected from the group consisting of cosmetic agents, pharmaceutical agents, vitamins, bioactive agents and combinations thereof, said film being formed by a controlled drying process which rapidly forms a viscoelastic matrix to lock-in said active in place within said matrix and maintain said substantially uniform distribution;
• wherein said film is self-supporting and the active component is substantially uniformly distributed, whereby said substantially uniform distribution is measured by substantially equally sized individual unit doses which do not vary by more than 10% of said desired amount of said active component.
