(57) [Summary]nThe present invention relates to an oral care product, such as a toothpaste, having an improved sensory perceptible cleaning action. This is achieved by including in the oral care product an aggregate that is substantially free of organic and / or inorganic binders, wherein the aggregate is at least two chemically and / or physically having a particular particle size. It is composed of different particulate materials. The inclusion of a material having a therapeutic effect on the teeth or gums, such as zinc citrate, has the added advantage that the material is slowly released from the aggregates and provides the material over a longer period of time. In use, the textured agglomerates are broken down into smaller particles, providing the consumer with an initial cleaning and subsequent polishing feel. |
