Abstract
Abstract An oral hygiene composition contains (a) from 0.01 to 2% by weight of Triclosan, (b) from 2 to 10% by weight of polyethylene glycol of molecular weight from 200 to 1000, and (c) 0.1 to 2% by weight of oil-based flavour material. The polyethylene glycol helps to maintain an effective level of orally available Triclosan.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
89 words
An oral hygiene composition comprising (a) from 0.01 to 2% by weight of the composition of an antimicrobial compound of formula (I) in which R¹ is oxygen. each of R² to R⁶ is hydrogen, hydroxyl, alkyl and/or halogen, and each of R²₁ to R²₁ is hydrogen, hydroxyl, alkyl and/or halogen; (b) from 2% to 10% by weight of the composition of one or more polyethylene glycols of molecular weight from 200 to 1000, and (c) from 0.1% to 2% of oil-based flavour material, together with an orally acceptable excipient.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
