Oral care compositions containing a stannous salt and sodium tripolyphosphate are provided where stannous tripolyphosphate ionic intermediates comprise less than about 1% of the compositions. Tetrasodium pyrophosphate, a methylvinyl ether-maleic anhydride copolymer and/or a silica oral polishing agent may be added for further efficacy. In a single phase blend, the oral care composition may be effectively limited to comprise less than about 10% water. In a dual-phase blend, a mixture having the stannous salt in a first phase and the sodium tripolyphosphate in a second phase may be generated from a dual chamber storage tube (with each phase provided from a separate chamber) immediately prior to dental care usage.

Stannous salt and sodium tripolyphosphate oral care compositions and methods

A dentifrice composition having a low water phase comprising effective amounts of polyphosphate and ionic active ingredients.

Low water stannous fluoride plus zinc citrate dentifrice with improved stability, rheology, and efficacy

The present disclosure provides low water dentifrice compositions comprising an effective amount of a zinc ion source, a tin ion source, a polyphosphate and an acid. The acid lowers the pH of the composition to enable stabilization of the metal ions and extend shelf-life of the composition.

Low water dentifrice compositions

An oral care composition and method are described in which the composition is free of an anionic surfactant and a fluoride source.

Fluoride free and anionic surfactant free dentifrice having a high micro efficacy

The present disclosure provides low water dentifrice compositions comprising an effective amount of a zinc ion source, a stannous ion source, a polyphosphate and an acid in a calcium pyrophosphate base. The acid lowers the pH of the composition to enable stabilization of the metal ions and extend shelf-life of the composition.

An oral care composition containing a stannous ion source, a zinc ion source, a polyphosphate, and a thickening agent. The thickening agent contains polyvinylpyrrolidone, a polysaccharide gum and carboxymethyl cellulose. The compositions have excellent rheology properties.

Oral compositions containing metal ions

An oral care composition containing a source of stannous ions, a source of fluoride ions and an insoluble source of zinc ions, such as zinc oxide. The composition contains an amount of citric acid sufficient to increase the level of soluble zinc ions.
