Disclosed herein are oral care compositions comprising: an orally acceptable vehicle comprising greater than about 50 wt. % water; and a preservative system comprising: benzyl alcohol, benzoic acid or a salt of benzoic acid; and an alkylene glycol. Methods of making and using these compositions are also described herein.

Preservative systems for oral care compositions

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

Provided herein is a dental floss coating composition comprising one or more polyethylene glycol polymers and a peroxide source, wherein the melting temperature of the one or more polyethylene glycol polymers, in combination, is from 38 C to 50 C, and wherein the one or more polyethylene glycol polymers are present in the composition in an amount of from 80 weight % to 97 weight % by total weight of the composition. The composition may be used in molten form to coat dental floss while maintaining the stability of the peroxide source.

Dental floss coating composition

Described herein are dental floss compositions comprising an elastomeric matrix containing one or more particles, and methods of making and using the same.

Elastomeric dental floss

A composition comprising a melted blend of polypropylene and an elastomeric block copolymer, and a plasticizer useful as an oral cleaning device. The elastomeric composition may be used as a dental floss.
