A tooth whitening oral care composition made by combining ingredients comprising: (i) flakes of a water soluble whitening film comprising (a) a film-forming polymer comprising hydroxyalkyl cellulose wherein the hydroxyalkyl cellulose is hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HMPC) and has a viscosity of 1 to 10 millipascal seconds (mPa·s) as determined as a 2% by weight aqueous solution of the film-forming polymer at 20° C using a Ubbelohde tube viscometer; and is incorporated in the film in amounts ranging from 10 to 80% by weight of the film and (b) at least one blue-green to blue-violet pigment with a hue angle in the CIELAB system ranging from 200 to 320 degrees, wherein the flakes are made from said film by punching, cutting, or grinding the film such that greater than 90 % of the particles pass through a 50 mesh filter, or in order that the particle size is between 30 to 100 mesh; wherein the flakes are present in an amount of 0.01 to 5% by weight of the oral care composition; (ii) at least one dye with a hue angle in the CIELAB system ranging from 200 to 320 degrees, and (iii) an orally acceptable carrier vehicle; and wherein the oral care composition comprises water in an amount ranging from 20 % by weight to 35 % by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition. (i) flakes of a water soluble whitening film comprising (a) a film-forming polymer comprising hydroxyalkyl cellulose wherein the hydroxyalkyl cellulose is hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HMPC) and has a viscosity of 1 to 10 millipascal seconds (mPa·s) as determined as a 2% by weight aqueous solution of the film-forming polymer at 20° C using a Ubbelohde tube viscometer; and is incorporated in the film in amounts ranging from 10 to 80% by weight of the film and (b) at least one blue-green to blue-violet pigment with a hue angle in the CIELAB system ranging from 200 to 320 degrees, wherein the flakes are made from said film by punching, cutting, or grinding the film such that greater than 90 % of the particles pass through a 50 mesh filter, or in order that the particle size is between 30 to 100 mesh; wherein the flakes are present in an amount of 0.01 to 5% by weight of the oral care composition; (a) a film-forming polymer comprising hydroxyalkyl cellulose wherein the hydroxyalkyl cellulose is hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HMPC) and has a viscosity of 1 to 10 millipascal seconds (mPa·s) as determined as a 2% by weight aqueous solution of the film-forming polymer at 20° C using a Ubbelohde tube viscometer; and is incorporated in the film in amounts ranging from 10 to 80% by weight of the film and (b) at least one blue-green to blue-violet pigment with a hue angle in the CIELAB system ranging from 200 to 320 degrees, wherein the flakes are made from said film by punching, cutting, or grinding the film such that greater than 90 % of the particles pass through a 50 mesh filter, or in order that the particle size is between 30 to 100 mesh; wherein the flakes are present in an amount of 0.01 to 5% by weight of the oral care composition; (ii) at least one dye with a hue angle in the CIELAB system ranging from 200 to 320 degrees, and (iii) an orally acceptable carrier vehicle; and <EOS>
