As a daily necessity, toothpaste has always been an essential piece of cake. With the diversification of consumers' demand for toothpaste, this category also ushered in new challenges, and essential oil toothpaste is a new product emerging at present.

Essential oil toothpaste, it is actually very easy to understand, is to add plant essential oil inside. In addition to the effect of driving smell, different essential oils have different effects. Such as peppermint oil can be used to improve periodontitis, gingivitis and halitosis.

Secondly, its efficacy can basically meet consumer demand. Today, the toothpaste market is increasingly segmented. Conventional efficacy seems ordinary, but it can meet consumer needs, such as whitening, bacteriostatic, anti-sensitive, fresh breath and so on. Studies have shown that essential oil toothpaste has a more direct and rapid bactericidal and antibacterial effect and can also play a significant role in removing halitosis.

In addition, with the upgrading of consumption, people's pursuit of quality of life has been greatly improved, and the innovation of essential oil toothpaste brings innovation of product quality, so it has a good market development potential.

In order to better thicken and suspend the active and functional components in toothpastes, and to release them effectively and evenly, most functional toothpastes now need to add acrylic polymer with cross-linked chemical network structure – carbomer.

As the toping leading manufacturer of carbomers and acrylates copolymer, Anhui Newman Chemicals have been launching NM-Carbomer products for more than 12 years. Anhui Newman launched carbomer for pharmaceuticals and oral care products below information,

1)    Carbomer homopolymer: carbomer homopolymer type A such as NM-Carbomer 971P, 71G, 981G. And Carbomer Homopolymer Type B such as NM-Carbomer 974P, 934P, and Carbomer Homopolymer type C such as NM-Carbomer 980G.

2) Carbomer Copolymer: carbomer copolymer type A such as NM-Carbomer TR-2 P, and Carbomer copolymer type B such as NM-Carbomer TR-1P, and 1382G, 1342G and carbomer Copolymer Type C.

3) Carbomer interpolymer: Carbomer interpolymer Type A, such as NM-Carbomer 10G, Carbomer interpolymer type B such as carbomer 2020 G.

All these carbomer as excipients meet the requirements of major pharmacopoeia such as Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020, US Pharmacopoeia USP/NF, European Pharmacopoeia EP, British Pharmacopoeia BP and other relevant regulations.

NM-Carbomer are crosslinked polyacrylates that have found broad usage as rheology modifiers in a wide range of personal care and pharmaceutical applications. NM-Carbomers impart several desirable characteristics to toothpaste formulations:

w   Viscosity

w   Yield Value

w   Low Thixotropy

w   Clarity

NM-Carbomers are highly efficient, imparting these properties at low concentrations. The combination of NM-Carbomers’ ability to build yield value with low thixotropy provides for a clean, non-stringing ribbon of toothpaste coming out of the tube. From aesthetic and practical perspectives, this means that toothpaste formulations based on NM-Carbomers:

w   are pumpable.

w   leave minimal solids residue on the tube rim

w   stand up well on the brush

w   can be used to make clear gels

As well as being efficient thickeners and binders, NM-Carbomers deliver the added benefit of bio adhesion. NM-Carbomers can be used to aid in the adhesion and delivery of dental formulations such as whitening and desensitizing treatments to the teeth, helping to enhance the bioavailability of active ingredients such as fluoride in oral care applications.
