A microparticulate abrasive composition is comprised of chilsonated granules of a low oil absorption compound selected from the group consisting of sodium tetrapyrophosphate, dicalcium phosphate dihydrate, anhydrous dicalcium phosphate, and mixtures thereof. The abrasive composition is useful as a polishing agent and plaque and tartar removing agent in oral dentifrice compositions such as toothpastes, as well as a soft scrubbing agent for delicate hard surfaces, facial masks, and body soaps. |
