ABSTRACT A dentifrice toothpaste or gel having a viscosity of about 50,000 to 420,000 cps (measured at 10 rpm with #7 spindle on Brookfield Viscometer Model RBF at 22°C), said viscosity being sufficiently high so that said dentifrice is not liquid and runny and not so high that it is difficult to extrude from a dentifrice containing a normally water-insoluble dentally acceptable polishing agent, up to about 89.5% by weight of water and requiring added humectant and gelling agents, said dentifrice containing as its essential humectant and gelling agent, a water-absorbent anionic polyelectrolyte polymer which provides and imparts both gelling and humectant characteristics to said dentifrice, said anionic polyelectrolyte polymer consisting essentially of a polyacrylic acid ionically complexed with 0.01 - 5.0 milli-equivalents of cation per gram of polyelectrolyte of a polyvalent metal cation selected from the group consisting of aluminum, zirconium, iron and zinc at a pH between 2.0 and 8.5 which pH is below the pH of reversibility of the ionic complex of said polyvalent cation and said water absorbent anionic polyelectrolyte, said ionically complexed poly- electrolyte polymer having a particle size such that at least about 90% of the particles are larger than 2 microns, each of said particles having a linkage density at the particle surface greater than the linkage density in the particle interior, the linkages at the particle surface comprising at least in part ionic complexing of said anionic polyelectrolyte polymer by said polyvalent metal cations, said anionic polyelectrolyte polymer being provided in said dentifrice in an amount of about 0.5 to 20% by weight, said dentifrice containing a humectant and gelling agent selected from the group consisting of: (a) said anionic polyelectrolyte polymer as the sole humectant and gelling agent; (b) said anionic polyelectrolyte polymer as the sole gelling agent and up to about 20% by weight of an additional humectant; (c) said anionic polyelectrolyte polymer as the sole humectant and up to about half the amount of said anionic polyelectrolyte polymer of an additional gelling agent; and (d) said anionic polyelectrolyte polymer with up to about 20% by weight of an additional humectant and up to about half the amount of said anionic polyelectrolyte polymer of an additional gelling agent; wherein said additional humectant and said additional gelling agent provide rheological modifications in the character of said dentifrice.
