A toothpaste of improved rheological properties wherein drying and plug formation is reduced or prevented. The toothpaste contains a vehicle in which there is present about 45-85% by weight of liquid phase containing up to about 35% by weight of sorbitol and at least about 25% by weight of water and a solid phase including about 0.5-10% by weight of gelling agent. Drying and plug formation is reduced by including in the liquid phase about 5-20% by weight of polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight between about 900 and 1600. |
