Abstract: An amine oxide type surfactant, which has excellent compatibility with an anionic or non-ionic surfactant having excellent detergency and shows excellent detergency and softening effect, is represented by the following formula 1: wherein R1 and R2 are the same or different, and each independently represents a C8˜C22 linear or branched alkyl or alkenyl group; A represents a C1˜C4 alkyl, alkenyl or hydroxyalkyl group; X represents OH, a C1˜C4 alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, (CH2CH2O)nH, (CHCH3CH2O)nH or a combination of (CH2CH2O)nH and (CHCH3CH2O)nH; and n is a number of 1˜30.

Abstract: A herb medicine extract-containing non-bleeding striped dentifrice composition, consisting essentially of a striped dentifrice component and a base dentifrice component, each component comprising the following ingredients at the substantially same amount: a. an abrasive that has a BET surface area of 10 m.sup.2 /g or less and an average particle diameter of 1 to 30 .mu.m upon measurement by Coulter Counter method, and shows oil absorption (linseed oil, ml/100 g) of 50 or less; b. a binder selected from the group consisting of xanthan gum, carrageenan, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and the mixtures thereof; c. an alkyl sulfonate of anionic surfactants; and d. a humectant, and said striped dentifrice component containing herb medicine extracts at an amount of 0.001 to 10% by weight, on the basis of dry solid substance. It is non-bleeding by virtue of the substantially same formulation in the two components and the herb medicine extracts allow the dentifrice composition to suppress the formation of plaque.
