Toothpaste tablets offer sustainable cosmetic production. This study found formulation significantly impacts tablet durability, hardness, and foaming properties, with herbal ingredients enhancing foam quality and dissolution.
Area of Science:
- Cosmetic Science
- Materials Science
Background:
- Sustainable cosmetic production is a growing trend.
- Toothpaste tablets represent an innovative, waterless format.
- Evaluating their physical and functional properties is crucial for product development.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the physical and functional characteristics of toothpaste tablets.
- To investigate the impact of different formulations (fluoride, surfactants, herbs) on tablet properties.
- To determine the suitability of toothpaste tablets for sustainable cosmetic applications.
Main Methods:
- Formulation of toothpaste tablets with varying ingredients.
- Determination of friability using a shaking method.
- Measurement of compressive strength, color parameters (spectrophotometry), pH, and foaming capacity.
- Assessment of disintegration time.
Main Results:
- Tablet durability and breaking force varied with formulation; control samples showed highest strength (55.24 N).
- Fluoride-free tablets exhibited lowest friability (1.46%).
- Herbal ingredients (clove) improved foam quality and dissolution; color changes (ΔE > 5) were noted.
- Modified formulations had significantly shorter disintegration times.
Conclusions:
- Toothpaste tablet hardness and durability are formulation-dependent.
- Developed tablets, particularly control and fluoride-free, are robust.
- Herbal formulations offer enhanced foaming, dissolution, and preservative-free, waterless benefits.
