Abstract
A composition for use in the oral cavity comprising (A) an easily breakable granule, (B) menthol and/or a natural substance containing menthol, and (C) a flavoring component such as basil, laurel, lavender or a lactone. Although the composition contains an easily breakable granule, which causes a powdery sensation characteristic of compositions containing granules, the present composition exhibits a greatly reduced powdery feeling, and gives a pleasant feeling to users. The composition is particularly suitable as a dentifrice.
