Cosmetics Business rounds up the latest oral care products that are environmentally and child friendly.
From chew-and-rinse products to milder products – here are four active formulations:
Formulation 1
BASF’s Chew-n-Rinse Tablet formulation offers on-the-go oral care. The user can just chew, add water then rinse.
Formulation 2
This kid’s toothpaste from Evonik is mild (sulfate and CAPB-free) but also foams well.
Preparation
Disperse the Blanose into the water (swelling time 45-60 minutes). Components of phase B are added while mixing, using vacuum if necessary. Mix for 5-10 minutes. Phase C components are added to the premixed dispersion at a low mixing speed.
Once added, increase mixing speed (15-20 minutes). During mixing start process vacuum. During mixing add flavour oil. Components of phase E are added using a low mixing speed.
After that the whole mixture must be dispersed using vacuum for about 10 minutes. Finished toothpaste can be filled into tubes.
Formulation 3
A gentle toothpaste containing 45% Omyacare S 80-AV from Omya with a smooth cleansing effect.
Preparation
Phase A: combine sorbitol with all powders and mix under strong agitation. Add water and stir to make a homogeneous texture. Add phase B step-by-step to phase A. Add phase C step-by-step under strong agitation and homogenise.
Stir slowly and cool down to room temperature. Add phase D under slow agitation, optionally under vacuum. Add flavourings under slow agitation.
