PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an opaque dentifrice composition with granules dispersed and compounded, improving cleanability, particularly cleanability in the space between teeth and being excellent in color change suppression effect on a dentifrice-base.SOLUTION: An opaque dentifrice composition contains 0.5 to 5 mass% of a coloring granule (A) where the average grain diameter is 150 to 400 μm and 90 mass% or more of the particles have a particle diameter of 600 μm or less and 3 to 60 mass% of an abrasive (B) having an average grain diameter of 120 μm or less. The (B)/(A) representing the compounding ratio of the coloring granule (A) and the abrasive (B) is 2 to 70 as a mass ratio.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】清掃性、特に歯の隙間の清掃性が向上すると共に歯磨剤ベースの変色抑制効果に優れた、顆粒が分散配合されてなる不透明歯磨剤組成物を提供する。【解決手段】平均粒径が150~400μmで、かつ90質量%以上の粒子が粒子径600μm以下である着色顆粒(A)を0.5~5質量%と、平均粒径120μm以下の研磨剤(B)を3~60質量%とを含有してなり、着色顆粒(A)と研磨剤(B)との配合割合を示す(B)/(A)が質量比として2~70であることを特徴とする不透明歯磨剤組成物。【選択図】なし
