The invention provides an oral care composition comprising: (a) a continuous phase comprising water or polyhydric alcohol or a mixture thereof; and (b) a particulate calcium carbonate abrasive composed of primary particles which are acicular and which have a length of 2 microns or greater; in which the level of the particulate calcium carbonate abrasive ranges from 10 to 70%, preferably from 20 to 60%, more preferably from 30 to 40%, by total weight of the particulate calcium carbonate abrasive based on the total weight of the composition. The composition of the invention demonstrates satisfactory levels of cleaning, yet is not unduly abrasive and damaging to the teeth.

Oral care compositions

Disclosed is a non-aqueous oral care composition comprising an organoclay, carrier humectant and a calcium source. The non-aqueous oral care composition of the present invention is stable, has rheological characteristics of a hydrous oral care composition, and does not require a manufacturing step of heating and cooling.

Non-aqueous oral care composition

There is provided a surface-active material that comprises fibers which have been modified so as to impart surface-active properties onto said fibres and giving it a contact angle between 60&#xb0; and 120&#xb0;, wherein the fibres have an aspect ratio of more than 10 to 1,000. The surface-active material can be used for foam and emulsion formation and stabilization, coatings, encapsulation and drug delivery. It can for example be used in the following industries: foods, home and personal care, oilfield, agriculture, textile, construction, emulsion polymerization, leather, plastic, pulp, paper and pharma.

Aerated food product with surface-active inorganic fibers

Firm food products that are suitable for cold use as a spreadable product and for hot use as a frying medium, can be obtained if the products comprise 20 to 80 wt % fat, whereby the fat is present as a clumped fat network. A hydrophilic emulsifier is also present. These products do not show severe spattering when used as a frying medium and are preferably high temperature ambient stable (at temperatures greater than or equal to 25&deg; C.).
