Abstract
The present invention is directed to an oral composition containing a gel network phase comprising: (i) one or more fatty amphiphiles, (ii) one or more surfactants, and (iii) one or more solvents; and an oral carrier phase. In certain embodiments, the gel network is used to structure the oral composition. The present invention is also directed to a method of forming an oral composition containing a gel network.
Claims20
A dentifrice composition comprising:
- a) a gel network phase comprising:
- i) from about 0.1% to about 20%, by weight of the composition, of a fatty amphiphile wherein the fatty amphiphile has a melting point of at least about 45° C.;
- ii) from about 0.1% to about 10%, by weight of the composition, of a surfactant;
- wherein the weight ratio of fatty amp to surfactant is from about 2:1 to about 10:1;
- b) an oral carrier phase comprising:
- i) fluoride compound selected from the group consisting of stannous fluoride, sodium fluoride, potassium fluoride, amine fluoride, sodium monofluorophosphate, and combinations thereof;
- ii) from about 0.5% to about 10%, by weight of the composition, of a peroxide compound.
- iii) from about 1% to about 90% water;
- iv) flavor;
- v) an abrasive polishing material;
- wherein the dentifrice composition foams when used in a conventional manner for cleansing teeth.
