Disclosed are stable portable oral care confectionery compositions which
provide enhanced oral malodour benefits. Compositions of the present
invention can optionally have one or more additional oral care benefits.
The confectionery compositions comprise:
(i) greater than about 10 ppm of a first metal cation selected from the
metals of groups 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16 of the periodic table;
(ii) greater than about 10 ppm of a second metal cation different from the
first metal cation and selected from the metals of groups 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
10, 11, 12, 14, 16 of the periodic table;
(iii) less than about 10% water; and
(iv) a confectionery carrier
wherein the ratio of the first metal cation to the second metal cation is
in the range of from about 50:1 to about 1:50.
