PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a dentifrice composition having an astringent real feeling derived from organic acid or a salt thereof, almost no liquid separation after a long period of storage, good formability, less threading property, and excellent usability.SOLUTION: The dentifrice composition contains (A) phytic acid and/or a salt thereof, (B) xanthane gum, and (C) sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, wherein the mass ratio of (B)/(A) is 0.3 to 2.0, the mass ratio of (C)/(B) is 0.2 to 5.0, and the pH at 25°C is 5.5 to 6.5. Alternatively, the dentifrice composition contains (A) organic acid selected from malic acid and tartaric acid and/or a salt thereof, and the (B) and (C) components, wherein the mass ratio of (B)/(A) is 0.3 to 2.0, the mass ratio of (C)/(B) is 0.2 to 3.0, and the pH at 25°C is 5.5 to 6.5. The dentifrice composition has an astringent real feeling derived from organic acid or a salt thereof, almost no liquid separation after a long period of storage, good formability, and less threading property. The dentifrice composition exhibits a favorable and moderate astringent real feeling in terms of compatibility with a flavor added to the dentifrice composition and giving a functional feeling and can be converted to a pharmaceutical preparation making the best use of the astringent real feeling.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【解決手段】(A)フィチン酸及び/又はその塩と、(B)キサンタンガムと、(C)カルボキシメチルセルロースナトリウムとを含有し、(B)/(A)の質量比が0.3~2.0、(C)/(B)の質量比が0.2~5.0、25℃におけるpHが5.5~6.5である歯磨剤組成物。(A)リンゴ酸、酒石酸から選ばれる有機酸及び/又はその塩と、上記(B)、(C)成分とを含有し、(B)/(A)の質量比が0.3~2.0、(C)/(B)の質量比が0.2~3.0、25℃におけるpHが5.5~6.5である歯磨剤組成物。【効果】本発明の歯磨剤組成物は、有機酸又はその塩由来の収斂実感を有し、長期保存後の液分離がほとんどなく、成形性が良好で、かつ曳糸性も少ないもので、歯磨剤組成物に付与する香味との相性や機能実感付与という観点から好適な適度な収斂実感を発現させ、この収斂実感を生かした製剤化が可能である。【選択図】なし
