Abstract
The invention relates to oral compositions such as toothpastes which contain Vitamin C and a copper compound such as copper sulphate. The tendency of these compositons to discolor, particularly if they also contain a zinc compound such as zinc citrate, can be reduced by the inclusion in the compositions of a stannous compound such as stannous pyrophosphate.
