FRESH SMILE gives you a fresh and clean feel. It is based on baking soda, a natural salt, to clean and gently polish your teeth, as well as neutralize plaque acids and reduce caries activity. Baking soda, gentle silicates and organic aloe vera help maintain the appearance of white and healthy teeth.
This is what you want a toothpaste to do!
GIVE FRESH BREATH - baking soda triggers enzymes in the mouth that balance the pH value to give a fresh breath
PROTECT AGAINST CAVITIES - contains 1450 ppm fluoride, an ingredient that science agrees can help prevent cavities; works in synergy with the functional ingredient xylitol.
PROTECT THE ENAMEL - gently polishes with a pure, carefully selected combination of baking soda, from France

* PEGs (polyethylene glycols) are petroleum-based ingredients that are widely used in cosmetics such as thickeners, solvents, emollients and moisturizers. PEGs are commonly used as cosmetic cream bases. They are also used in medicines as laxatives.
FRESH SMILE is a toothpaste based on natural, smooth sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) extracted from France.
Baking Soda has many natural benefits:
• When sodium bicarbonate is mixed with saliva, it acts as an alkaline pH buffer. It neutralizes plaque acids that can help minimize microbes, ie bacteria.
• Neutralizes the pH value in the mouth
• Neutralizes plaque acids - plaque acids contain millions of bacteria that damage the gums and tooth enamel
• Cleanses and polishes without damaging enamel, dentin, gums or acting as an irritant to tongue
• Natural mineral compound
• Long history of use - used by the Egyptians 5000 years ago
In addition to baking soda, the toothpaste contains many high-quality ingredients:
• Silicate combination (hydrated) - scientifically produced silicates to polish away stains and plaques
• Glycerin (vegetable) * - multifunctional natural moisturizing and emollient ingredient
• Aloe Vera (Barbadensis) * - soothing and balancing to gums and tongue. Contains natural vitamins and enzymes
• Xylitol - a multifunctional ingredient that builds up the taste, and acts as a protective ingredient along with fluoride
• Mentha Arvensis Leaf Oil, Aroma - a natural flavor combination with mint and NCS-certified aroma
• Sodium monofluorophosphate - fluoride protects by strengthening the tooth so that it gets more resistance to cavity attacks. Fluoride also has a positive effect on the environment that surrounds the tooth. ******** Peter Lingström Professor of Cariology, Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg
• Cellulose Gum, Xanthan Gum - sustainable combination of consistency-building ingredients
• Limonene, Linalool - natural ingredients of the refreshing taste
USAGE & TIPS
HOW TO USE: Start brushing your teeth with a dry toothbrush and toothpaste to polish off discolorations. Then, brush with water and toothpaste for an effective fluoride rinse. Hot water (boil, do not use directly from the tap) can sometimes work even more efficiently.INGREDIENTS
