<p>A stable, high moisture toothpaste has now been developed that comprises a carrageenan binder that is at least 70 % iota carrageenan, a calcium based-polish agent, humectant, surfactant, water and optional additives and therapeutic actives used in dentifrice compositions. The calcium-based agent is present at a weight percent concentration in the range of about 35 to 50, the water is about 35 to 50 %, the humectant is about 5 to 15 %, the carrageenan is about 0.5 to 0.85 %, and the surfactant is about 0.5 to 5 %. The high moisture, low cost toothpaste that is provided has favorable physical properties such as good viscosity and stability without the need for additional binder which is optional.</p> |
