This invention relates to high-water oral care compositions comprising a basic amino acid or salt thereof, together with a precipitated calcium carbonate, glycerol, and to methods of using and of making these compositions.

Oral care product and methods of use and manufacture thereof

The present invention provides calcium carbonate-based oral care compositions, in particular toothpastes comprising a thickening system comprising 0.2-0.5 wt. % xanthan gum and 0.2-0.5 wt. % synthetic polyacrylic acid polymer, as well as methods of using these compositions.

Toothpastes containing calcium carbonate, xanthan gum and polyacrylic acid polymer

Disclosed herein are improved oral care formulations comprising precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) and preservative combinations selected from the group consisting of i) phenethyl alcohol and caprylyl glycol, and ii) benzyl alcohol and caprylyl glycol. Methods of making and using the compositions are also provided.

Oral care compositions and methods of use

Biguanide-preserved precipitated calcium carbonate oral care compositions and methods of manufacture thereof are disclosed.

Biguanide preservation of precipitated calcium carbonate

A method of determining the viability of a gum for use in making a product has been achieved by (a) mixing a sample of the gum in a solvent comprising one or more hydroxy moiety containing solvent compound to form a solution with the gum; (b) measuring the viscosity of the solution and comparing against a predetermined target viscosity for a product; and (c) comparing the viscosity of the solution and the predetermined target viscosity and discarding gum which is outside the predetermined target viscosity; and (d) using the gum which has a viscosity within the predetermined target to prepare a product; wherein another hydroxy moiety containing solvent is used if water is used as a solvent. Also described are compositions comprising the gum and solvent comprising one or more hydroxy moiety.
