Abstract

The invention relates to non-aqueous dentifrice compositions comprising a surfactant system. The surfactant system consists of a combination of surfactants i.e., a betaine and a taurate surfactant; or a betaine and an alkyl sulphate surfactant; or a betaine, a taurate and an alkyl sulphate surfactant.

Claims (13)

1 . A non-aqueous dentifrice composition comprising a carrier wherein the carrier comprises a surfactant system consisting of a first surfactant which is a betaine in combination with a second surfactant which is a taurate or a C 10-20 alkyl sulphate or mixtures thereof.

2 . A composition according to claim 1 wherein the betaine is cocoamidopropyl betaine.

3 . A composition according to claim 1 wherein the betaine is present in an amount from 0.05 to about 4% such as from about 0.2 to about 2% by weight of the composition.

4 . A composition according to claim 1 wherein the second surfactant comprises a taurate.

5 . A composition according to claim 4 wherein the taurate is the sole second surfactant.

6 . A composition according to claim 1 wherein the taurate is sodium methyl cocyl taurate.

7 . A composition according to claim 1 wherein the taurate is present in an amount from 0.5 to 2% by weight of the composition.

8 . A composition according to claim 1 wherein the second surfactant comprises a C 10-20 alkyl sulphate.

9 . A composition according to claim 8 wherein the C 10-20 alkyl sulphate is the sole second surfactant.

10 . A composition according to claim 1 wherein the C 10-20 alkyl sulphate is sodium lauryl sulphate.

11 . A composition according to claim 1 wherein the C 10-20 alkyl sulphate is present in an amount from 0.5 to about 1.5% by weight of the composition.

12 . A composition according to claim 1 wherein the second surfactant consists of a mixture of a taurate and a C 10-20 alkyl sulphate.

13 . A composition according to claim 1 comprising an oral care active agent selected from a fluoride source, a desensitizing agent, an anti-calculus agent, an anti-erosion agent, an antimicrobial agent, an anti-plaque agent, a whitening agent, an oral malodour agent or a mixture of at least two thereof.
