Ingredients Nano-hydroxyapatite Our key ingredient, nano-hydroxyapatite is the smallest building block of teeth. Added to toothpaste, it can rebuild enamel and make it strong, smooth and shiny. Because it is very expensive, only a select few high-end toothpastes use it, and many that do do not use as high a concentration as we do. It may lower our profit margins, but without it, our toothpaste wouldn’t be the same. Sorbitol We use sorbitol, a compound that naturally occurs in apples, pears and peaches, in order to give our toothpaste its characteristic consistency and also to help it to stay soft and avoid it from drying out prematurely. You can find it in a variety of pharmaceutical and food products, including mouthwashes, almost all sugar-free chewing gum and in the surimi crab at your local sushi bar. Glycerin We use this syrupy liquid in order to keep our toothpaste moist and give it its smoothness. It is also naturally somewhat sweet, but unlike sugar, does not feed the plaque-causing bacteria in the mouth. It can be found in low-fat cookies, in candies, in dairy products and even in Hollywood, where actors put it around their eyes in order to make it appear as if they are crying. Water We use water that is so pure, the United States Food and Drug Administration allows it to be used in regulated pharmaceutical products. In our formula, water helps keep our toothpaste moist and paste-like. Without it, our toothpaste would be pretty hard to squeeze out! Silica Like most toothpastes, we use silica in our formulation. Silica, one of the most common minerals, is very hard and is one of the principal components of white porcelain. Unlike many other formulations which use coarsely ground silica as an abrasive agent, we use microscopic particles, which means that they polish, rather than abrade teeth, and help to give our toothpaste the right texture. Xylitol We make good use of xylitol, a natural sweetener found in the fibers of many common fruits and vegetables. Unlike regular sugar (sucrose), which feeds decay-causing bacteria, xylitol has been shown to actually help kill off harmful oral bacteria, such as streptococcus mutans. As an added bonus, xylitol also helps to create an unmistakably cool, refreshing sensation in the mouth. Tetrasodium pyrophosphate We use this crystalline compound in order to help remove some of the calcium and magnesium dissolved in saliva which could otherwise lead to tartar formation. Tetrasodium pyrophosphate is so safe that it is used in a variety of foods like canned tuna and crab, pudding and marshmallows. Sodium methyl cocoyl taurate We use a tiny dash of this mild coconut-derived ingredient in order to create a touch of foaminess, to help improve the cleaning action of our formula even for manual toothbrush users and to help give our formula the mouthfeel people associate with cleanliness without resorting to the use of agents like SLS. Mica We use this naturally-occurring mineral in order to give our toothpaste a lustrous appearance and to polish the surfaces of the teeth to a high gloss. Mica has a long tradition of use in a variety of high-end cosmetics, including lipstick and lip gloss. Titanium dioxide A naturally occurring mineral that is dazzlingly white, used to make our toothpaste as white as it can be and also temporarily help to make your teeth appear whiter. Perfectly safe, it has a long history of use in food, cosmetics, as a colorant in skim milk, a principal sunblock ingredient and even as a tattoo pigment. Sodium carboxymethylcellulose We use this hypoallergenic plant-derived ingredient in order to give our toothpaste its characteristic thickness, smoothness and to help keep the ingredients from separating out. It also helps to keep the freezing point of our formula depressed, so that it is better able to withstand shipping through cold climates. This same compound is used in a wide variety of pharmaceutical products and foods, including many brands of ice cream and eye drops. Citric acid This naturally-occurring acid, which gives fruits like lemons their characteristic tartness, is used in our formula to help keep its pH balanced. Achieving a balanced pH in the mouth is critical, as excess acitity in the mouth can lead to tooth demineralization, while excess alkalinity can lead to calculus formation. Sodium Saccharin In order to counteract an aspect of the flavor coming from the high concentration of nano-hydroxyapatite in our formula that xylitol alone cannot control, we use a tiny dash of this sweetener. Saccharin has been safely used for more than 130 years as a substance that is extremely sweet without any calories, so that, unlike other sweeteners like sugar, it doesn’t provide food for the harmful bacteria in the mouth. Aroma We use a proprietary blend of pure botanical extracts in order to give our toothpaste a minty flavor that is mild enough to be refreshing, but not so strong as to affect your sense of taste.

Sastojci Nano-hidroksiapatit Naš ključni sastojak nano-hidroksiapatit je najmanji gradivni dio zuba. Dodan u zubnu pastu pomaže obnovi cakline da bi bila jaka, glatka i sjajna. Budući da je vrlo skup sastojak, samo neke odabrane paste ga sadrže, premda ne sadrže dovoljno visoku koncentraciju za dobar učinak. Sorbitol U zubnoj pasti koristimo sorbitol, prirodni sastojak koji je prisutan u jabukama, kruškama i breskvama, a koji daje zubnoj pasti potrebnu kompaktnost, mekanost i spriječava prebrzo sušenje. Sorbitol se nalazi u mnogim farmaceutskim i prehrambenim proizvodima, na primjer u vodama za usta i u gotovo svim žvakaćim gumama bez šećera. Glicerin Ovu viskoznu tekućinu upotrebljavamo kao bi zubna pasta zadržala vlažnost i glatkoću. Okus je pomalo sladak, iako nasuprot šećeru ne predstavlja hranu za kariogene bakterije. Glicerin se može naći u keksima s manje masnoća, bombonima, mliječnim proizvodima, čak i Hollywoodu gdje ga glumci nanose oko očiju kako bi se činilo da su plakali. Voda Upotrebljavamo vodu propisane čistoće koju je odobrila Američka Agencija za ljekove i hranu za upotrebu u kontroliranim farmaceutskim proizvodima. Voda pomaže održati pastu vlažnom i tekućom. Bez toga bilo bi teško istisnuti zubnu pastu iz tube. Silicijev dioksid Kao i većina pasti za zube i naša formula sadržava silicijev dioksid, jedan od najčešćih minerala, vrlo tvrd i jedan je od glavnih sastojaka bijelog porculana. Za razliku od mnogih drugih pasti koje upotrebljavaju grubo mljeveni silicijev dioksid kao abrzivno sredstvo, mi upotrebljavamo čestice mikroskopske veličine koji poliraju zubnu caklinu bez da ju bruse. Mikroskopska veličina silicijevog dioksida istovremeno pasti daje pravu teksturu. Ksilitol Upotrebljavamo ksilitol, prirodni zaslaživča, koji nalazimo u mnogim vrstama voća i povrća. Za razliku od običnog šećera (saharoze) kojim se hrane kariogene bakterije, ksilitol zapravo pomaže uništiti štetne bakterije kao npr. Streptococcus mutans. Ksilitol dodatno pomaže stvoriti osvježavajući osjećaj u ustima. Tetranatrijev pirofosfat Ovaj kristalni spoj upotrebljavamo za odstranjivanje u slini otopljenog kalcija i magnezija, koji bi mogli dovesti do nastanka zubnog kamenca. Tetranatrijev pirofosfat je potpuno siguran i koristi se u raznim jelima, kao što su konzervirana tuna, škampi, puding… Natrijev metilkokoiltaurat Sastojak dobiven iz kokosa koji upotrebljavamo u manjim količinam za poboljšanje učinka pjenjenja koji ljudi povezuju s čistoćom pri čišćenju s ručnim zubnim četkicama. Time smo izbjegli dodatak štetnih pjenila kao npr. natrijevog laurilsulfata. Tinjci Ovaj prirodni mineral koristimo kako bi našoj pasti dali sjaj i kako bi ispolirali plohe zuba do visokog sjaja. Tinjci imaju dugu tradiciju upotrebe u vrhunskoj kozmetici-ruž za usne, sjajilo. Titanijev dioksid Ovaj prirodni mineral koji je potpuno bijel, čini našu pastu za zube bijelom i pomaže da vaši zubi nakon čišćenja izgledaju bjelji. Potpuno je siguran i ima dugu tradiciju uptrebe u hrani, kozmetici, kao bojilo kod obranog mlijeka, u kremama za sunčanje, pa čak i kao pigment u tetovažama. Natrijeva karboksimetilceluloza Ovaj hipoalergeni sastojak iz biljnog izvora dodajemo kako bi zubna pasta imala karakterističnu teksturu, glatkoću, te za spriječavanje razdvajanja sastojaka komponenti. Također snižava točku ledišta zubne paste, da bolje podnese transport u hladnim podnebljima. Taj isti sastojak se koristi u raznim lijekovima, hrani, kapima za oči, sladoledu. Limunska kiselina Ovu prirodnu kiselinu koja voću daje karakterističnu kiselost poput limuna, koristimo u našoj formuli kako bi održali uravnoteženi pH. Održavanje uravnoteženog pH u ustima je iznimno važno, jer kiseli pH dovodi do demineralizacije zubne cakline, a alkalni pH do stvranja zubnog kamenca. Natrijev saharin Kako bi prekrili okus visoke koncentracije nano-hidroksiapatita u našoj pasti za zube koju sam ksilitol ne može, dodali smo malu količinu ovog zaslađivača. Saharin je siguran, u upotrebi već više od 130 godina kao tvar visoke slatkoće bez kalorija. Za razliku od šećera saharin ne predstavlja hranu za kariogene bakterije u ustima. Aroma Upotrebljavamo vlastitu biljnu mješavinu kako bi pasti dali okus po menti, koji je dovoljno nježan da ne utječe na naš okus, pri čemu daje osjećaj svježine.
