Dental care composition
First Claim
1. A prophylactic paste dental care composition for the prophylactic dental hygiene, characterized by the fact that it contains(A) a cleaning body comprising a major proportion of plate shaped rock particles, (B) 20 to 80% by weight of at least one polyethylene glycol nonionic surfactant, and (C) at least one emulsifying agent, the combined amounts of cleaning body (A) and of surfactant (B) being at least 30% by weight of the dental care composition, the proportion of emulsifying agent (C) being comprised between 0 and 20% by weight of the dental care composition.

Abstract
A dental care composition for the prophylactic dental hygiene (prophylactic paste) comprises as principal components the following: from 10 to 80% by weight, preferably from 35 to 55% by weight, of a polishing body containing plate shaped rock particles, preferably perlite particles; from 20 to 80% by weight, preferably from 40 to 50% by weight, of a nonionic, preferably polymeric surface active agent; and from 0 to 20% by weight, preferably from 1 to 10% by weight, of an emulsifier or emulsifier blend. Polyethylene glycols (Macrogol) having molecular weights of from 200 to 1,000, preferably of from 200 to 600, are particularly suited as pure compounds or as a blend of different variants having different molecular weights. The dental care composition shows a smooth and soft consistency and has only a weak tendency of being splashed during its application in the mouth.
