Benefits of technology

The patent describes an oral care product that includes a special fatty amphiphile, an abrasive, and a fluoride ion source. The product has a gel network and does not separate visually. The product can be made without heating it above 30 degrees Celsius. The technical effect is that this oral care product has improved properties such as improved taste, texture, and effectiveness in preventing dental plaque and promoting oral health.

Problems solved by technology

Formulating toothpaste compositions with the proper rheology can be very challenging.
Also, some commercially available toothpastes can feel harsh and can irritate a user's mouth, however, toothpastes containing gel networks can feel smooth and are generally non-irritating.
However, it can be particularly difficult to formulate stable toothpaste compositions with a gel network phase, especially gel network toothpaste compositions that limit the amount of fatty alcohol in the toothpaste, since fatty alcohols may contribute to unacceptable aesthetics such as suboptimum flavor display, taste, and foaming and some consumers noticed greasy feeling in the mouth and lips after brushing,

Abstract

An oral care composition containing a gel phase, an abrasive, and a fluoride source. The gel network phase contains a cold dispersible fatty amphiphile and phase separation is not visually perceptible in the oral care composition.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to an oral care composition. More particularly a toothpaste composition containing a gel network phase and a cold dispersible fatty amphiphile.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Oral care compositions, including toothpaste compositions, can contain fluoride salts, peroxide, abrasives, and flavors to clean teeth, freshen breath, and maintain the aesthetics and health of the oral cavity, including the teeth and gums.[0003]Formulating toothpaste compositions with the proper rheology can be very challenging. The composition must not be too thick so it can easily dispense out of a tube but thick enough to stand up on a toothbrush without sinking into the bristles. The viscosity of the oral composition must remain stable over time as not to continue to thicken so the oral composition remains easy to dispense during the shelf life. Once dispensed from a container, the oral composition should not be stringy or sticky as to be messy for...
