The corrosion and staining of unlined aluminum tube surfaces by dentifrices such as toothpastes, particularly when the dentifrices contain therapeutic agents, is substantially prevented by incorporation into the dentifrice of a controlled amount of an alkaline earth metal ion such as calcium ion, in the range of 0.005-0.2 weight percent, and preferably in the range of 0.005-0.070 weight percent of the dentifrice. The alkaline earth metal may be provided from any water soluble alkaline earth metal salt or as a reaction product of the alkaline earth metal salt with an amorphous silica abrasive and/or thickener.
