Toothpaste Function<br />
Humectants: the primary function of<br />
humectants as part of the liquid phase is to retain<br />
moisture which provides good “mouth feel” and<br />
maintains and attractive glossy appearance when<br />
the paste is exposed to air.<br />
Binder: is essential to toothpaste for stabilization<br />
against separation of the liquid and solid phases.<br />
Gums such as Tragacanth, Gum Arabic have been<br />
used. Colloids and CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose)<br />
are also used.
<strong>Innophos</strong>, Inc.<br />
Toothpaste Function<br />
Preservatives: natural and synthetic water<br />
dispersions of organic binders are subject to<br />
microbial or mold attack. Small amounts of<br />
preservative agents may be added to the paste.<br />
Detergents: lowers the surface tension and<br />
the improves the sudsing action in the mouth.<br />
Improves mouth feel.<br />
Flavoring: probably represents the greatest<br />
single factor in consumer acceptance. Care<br />
should be taken in selecting balanced blends<br />
of different essential oils.
<strong>Innophos</strong>, Inc.<br />
Toothpaste Function<br />
Sweeteners: improves taste and enhances the flavor qualities<br />
of the toothpaste. Use at very low concentrations.<br />
Water: purified water should be used to produce the desired<br />
toothpaste quality<br />
Polishing Agents: the type of polishing agent selected will,<br />
to a very large degree, determine the qualities of consistency,<br />
stability and polishing action in the formulated paste. These<br />
qualities are best realized when 35 to 50% of the weight of the<br />
paste is a phosphate polishing agent.<br />
Anti-caries Agents: these agents are generally<br />
formulated in dentifrice at 1000 ppm fluoride ion.

<strong>Innophos</strong>, Inc.<br />
Toothpaste Quality<br />
A. Viscosity - binder level, solids to liquid ratio,<br />
humectant to water ratio.<br />
B. Appearance - should be air free, binder should<br />
be free of particles, have gloss and homogeneity.<br />
C. Flavor - minty flavor is popular, control amount<br />
of sweetener.<br />
D. Detergent - minimum amount to obtain desired foaming.<br />
E. Mouth Feel - paste should not be “sticky”, paste should<br />
have “good body”<br />
F. Stability - storage and compatibility tests should<br />
be done.
