Zusammenfassung:The invention provides a non-aqueous oral care composition suitable for cleaning the surfaces of the oral cavity, the composition comprising: (a) from 20 to 90wt% (by weight by based on the total weight of the composition) of one or more organic polyols having 3 or more hydroxyl groups in the molecule; (b) from 3 to 75wt% (by weight based on the total weight of the oral care composition) of one or more particulate abrasive cleaning agents; (c) from 0.2 to 5wt% (by weight based on the total weight of the oral care composition) of one or more surfactants, and (d) from 0.01 to 5wt% (by weight based on the total weight of the oral care composition) of xanthan gum. The composition is easy to manufacture without the need for careful temperature control. It is also unexpectedly stable and cost-effective, with suitable viscosity characteristics despite its non-aqueous nature.
