Compressible solid tablets comprising from 20 to 38 wt % of an oily or viscous liquid, from 50 to 70 wt % of a cellulose polymer and from 2 to 15 wt % of an hydrophobic coating compound, wherein said particles size is 180 microns or less. For example, the oily or viscous liquid may consist of plant oils or surfactants such as cocamide DEA, cocoamide propyl betaine and or mixtures thereof. The cellulose polymer may be carboxy methyl cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose or mixtures thereof. The coating hydrophobic composition may be silicon dioxide, calcium orthophosphate, magnesium carbonate, aluminum oxide. Compressible solid particles are also disclosed which comprise from 50 to 70 wt % of a crystalline alcohol, from 25 to 45% of a cellulose polymer and from 5 to 18 wt % of a coating hydrophobic compound. For example, the crystalline alcohol may be a polyol such as xylitol, isomaltose, sorbitol, maltitol, starch hydrolysate; a terpene such as thymol, carvacrol or menthol. Particles are used in the manufacturing of tablets for personal hygiene in a quantity comprised from 1 to 16 wt % on the basis of the whole tablet. |
