(57) An oral composition comprising a zinc salt (e.g., zinc chloride, zinc citrate, zinc acetate, zinc lactate, zinc salicylate, zinc sulfate) and 0.l% to 5% by weight of polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil (e.g., having mean degree of polymerization of ethylene oxide of l0 or more). This oral composition is advantageous in that the astringency derived from the zinc salt is removed and good overall sensation in the mouth is obtained.
