Mouthwash composition.

摘要

The present invention relates to anti-plaque mouthwash compositions that contain a zinc salt and Triclosan as the anti-plaque system. Effective, clear mouthwash compositions with a zinc salt and Triclosan can be obtained if the compositions contain a nonionic surface-active agent and contain not more than 60% by weight of water, the compositions further containing a lower aliphatic monohydric alcohol and a humectant. Typical formulations contain zinc sulphate, zinc phenolsulphonate or zinc glycinate, Triclosan, an ethylene oxide/propylene oxide block copolymer as the nonionic surface active agent, ethanol, sorbitol as the humectant and less than 60% by weight of water.
