Abstract
A chewable oral composition for oral cleansing, breath freshening, and antimicrobial benefits includes fast release Magnolia Bark Extract in combination with a surface active agent. The effectiveness of Magnolia Bark Extract in inhibiting biofilm formation in the oral cavity is increased by a synergistic combination of the rapidly released Magnolia Bark Extract with a surface active agent in a chewable oral cavity delivery agent, such as chewing gum, chewable candy, and a soft tablet. The fast release of the antimicrobial agents is effectuated by encapsulation or coating of the oral cavity delivery agent.
