Abstract

Oral care compositions and/or unit-dose oral care compositions comprising a high level of surfactant. Oral care compositions and/or unit-dose oral care compositions with a high foaming efficiency. Oral care compositions and/or unit-dose oral care compositions with one or more web forming materials, one or more surfactants, and a sugar alcohol.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A dentifrice composition comprising:
(a) fibrous composition comprising at least one filament, the at least one filament comprising:
(i) from about 1% to about 25%, by weight of the dentifrice composition, of web forming material;
(ii) from about 0.01% to about 20%, by weight of the dentifrice composition, of surfactant; and
(iii) sugar alcohol; and

(b) nonfibrous composition comprising abrasive,
wherein the surfactant comprises sodium lauryl sulfate, cocamidopropyl betaine, or combinations thereof, and
wherein the dentifrice composition is a unit-dose dentifrice composition.

2. The dentifrice composition of claim 1 , wherein the dentifrice composition comprises a fluoride ion source, stannous ion source, zinc ion source, or combinations thereof.

3. The dentifrice composition of claim 1 , wherein the dentifrice composition comprises from about 0.01% to about 50%, by weight of the dentifrice composition, of the sugar alcohol.

4. The dentifrice composition of claim 1 , wherein the sugar alcohol comprises sorbitol, mannitol, lactitol, isomalt, arabitol, erythritol, glycerol, maltitol, xylitol, or combinations thereof.

5. The dentifrice composition of claim 1 , wherein the sugar alcohol comprises xylitol, sorbitol, glycerin, or combinations thereof.

6. The dentifrice composition of claim 1 , wherein the abrasive comprises a calcium-containing abrasive, silica abrasive, carbonate abrasive, phosphate abrasive, alumina abrasive, or combinations thereof.

7. The dentifrice composition of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the nonfibrous composition is in contact with a surface of the fibrous composition.

8. The dentifrice composition of claim 2 , wherein the fluoride ion source comprises stannous fluoride, sodium fluoride, potassium fluoride, amine fluoride, sodium monofluorophosphate, zinc fluoride, or combinations thereof.

9. The dentifrice composition of claim 2 , wherein the stannous ion source comprises stannous fluoride, stannous chloride, or combinations thereof.

10. The dentifrice composition of claim 2 , wherein the zinc ion source comprises zinc citrate, zinc chloride, zinc sulfate, zinc gluconate, zinc lactate, zinc phosphate, zinc arginine, zinc fluoride, zinc iodide, zinc carbonate, or combinations thereof.

11. The dentifrice composition of claim 2 , wherein the fibrous composition comprises the fluoride ion source, the stannous ion source, the zinc ion source, or combinations thereof.

12. The dentifrice composition of claim 2 , wherein the nonfibrous composition comprises the fluoride ion source, the stannous ion source, the zinc ion source, or combinations thereof.

13. The dentifrice composition of claim 1 , wherein the web forming material comprises starch, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyethylene oxide, carboxymethylcellulose, polyacrylic acid, polyvinyl ether maleic acid copolymer, or combinations thereof.

14. The dentifrice composition of claim 1 , wherein the web forming material comprises polyvinyl alcohol, the surfactant comprises cocamidopropyl betaine, and the sugar alcohol comprises xylitol.

15. The dentifrice composition of claim 1 , wherein the fibrous composition comprises at least one web comprising the at least one filament, the at least one web formed from the web forming material.

16. The dentifrice composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one filament comprises a first filament and a second filament, and the fibrous composition comprises a first nonwoven web comprising the first filament and a second nonwoven web comprising the second filament, wherein the nonfibrous composition is between the first nonwoven web and the second nonwoven web.
