  • Publication number: 20250120895
    Abstract: A whitening dentifrice composition includes a chemical whitening agent, where the chemical whitening agent comprises malonic acid or a salt thereof. The whitening dentifrice composition may be free of, essentially free of, or substantially free of polyphosphate. A method of whitening teeth includes applying the whitening dentifrice composition to the teeth and removing the whitening dentifrice composition from the teeth.
