This invention relates to oral care compositions comprising herbal extracts including, e.g., Gymnema sylvestre, Emblica officinalis, Eugenia jambolana, Azadirachta indica, and combinations thereof and zinc salts, e.g., zinc citrate and zinc oxide. Additionally, the invention relates to methods of using and of making these compositions, e.g., method of using the oral care compositions to treat gingivitis in diabetic consumers.

A dentifrice composition includes about 20% or greater, by weight of the dentifrice composition, of water, a fluoride ion source, a polyphosphate source comprising a first linear polyphosphate with an average chain length of from about 6 to about 21, and a pH of about 5 or less.

A meso-abrasive dentifrice formulation of from 15 wt % to 30 wt % a first abrasive, from 10 wt % to 15 wt % a second abrasive, and excipients. The second abrasive is silica and is different from the first abrasive. A system is also disclosed for cleaning a human oral cavity having the disclosed meso-abrasive dentifrice formulation and an oscillating cup for delivery of the dentifrice formulation. The system demonstrates a Cleaning Efficiency Index (CEI) of from 2.34 to 2.45. The system demonstrates an Increase in Gloss Score of greater than 28 and a system Relative Dentin Abrasiveness (RDA) value less than 100.

Disclosed is a dental bleaching gel composition with high electric conductivity. It was the object of the present invention to provide a bleaching gel composition that is less initiating than prior art gels, and is highly efficient such that it can bleach within shorter time. The composition includes a peroxide, or a peroxide releasing compound such as carbamide peroxide, sodium perborate, or sodium percarbonate as a bleaching agent, a cross-linked polyacrylate polymer as a thickening component, and electrical conductivity enhancing ingredients such as electrolytes.
