Abstract: An essentially non-aqueous oral hygiene product is disclosed comprising an alcohol base, a combination of viscosity adjusters, e.g., polyvinylpyrrolidone and glycerin; a detergent such as sodium lauryl sulfate; a sweetening agent such as saccharin, and a flavor additive. The combination of viscosity adjusters imparts a suitable viscosity and body to the product to enable it to adhere to a toothbrush and be readily dispersible in water to be used as a mouthwash.
