Claims3
A method of increasing the resistance of an oral care composition to microbial attack during a post-addition system of manufacture, the method comprising
- formulating a partially-complete composition comprising anethole, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), and an orally acceptable vehicle, wherein the partially-complete composition is free from additional flavor ingredients;
- wherein the amount of anethole in the partially-complete composition is from 0.05-0.25 weight %, based on the weight of the partially-complete composition;
- and
- wherein the sodium lauryl sulfate is present in the partially-complete composition in an amount of from 0.1 to 0.75 weight %, based on the weight of the composition;
- storing the partially-complete composition for up to 48 hours, then
- adding additional ingredients, including at least one additional flavor ingredient, to the partially-complete composition to form a completed oral care composition.
