Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition in form of an oil-in-water emulsion comprising: a) a dispersed fatty phase comprising at least one oil chosen from silicone oils, hydrocarbonated oils, or a mixture thereof; b) a continuous aqueous phase comprising at least one C1-C4 alcohol, linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated, mono-, bi-, or tri-, in an amount ranging from 0.1% to 20% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition; and c) at least one hydrophobic particle chosen from hydrophobic silicas, starch, talc, silicone resin powders, hollow hemispherical silicone particles, polyamide powders, hydrophobic pigments, or a mixture thereof; and d) at least one polysaccharide selected from xanthan gum and gellan gum.

Abstract: The invention provides an oral care composition comprising: (a) a continuous phase comprising water or polyhydric alcohol or a mixture thereof; and (b) a particulate calcium carbonate abrasive composed of primary particles which are acicular and which have a length of 2 microns or greater; in which the level of the particulate calcium carbonate abrasive ranges from 10 to 70%, preferably from 20 to 60%, more preferably from 30 to 40%, by total weight of the particulate calcium carbonate abrasive based on the total weight of the composition. The composition of the invention demonstrates satisfactory levels of cleaning, yet is not unduly abrasive and damaging to the teeth.
