Science
Salo is built on a single conviction: oral care should be held to the same scientific standard as your skincare.
We formulate around nano-hydroxyapatite, the same mineral your enamel is made of, as the active that supports remineralization without the need for fluoride. We omit SLS, the foaming agent linked to canker sores and oral irritation. We pH-balance to the natural chemistry of the mouth. Every choice is a clinical one.
What follows is what we put in, what we left out, and why.
Key ingredients.
Every one chosen for a reason.
Nano-hydroxyapatite
Rebuilds enamel from the same mineral your teeth are made of.
Xylitol
Reduces cavity-causing bacteria over time, supports a healthier oral microbiome, and stimulates saliva — the mouth's natural defense.
Sodium bicarbonate
Neutralizes acid to support a healthier oral pH, and helps lift surface stains.
Spearmint oil
A naturally derived freshness. Clean, never a synthetic burn.
Glycerin
Locks in moisture to keep enamel and gums comfortable.
Hydrated silica
Gently lifts plaque and surface stains at a low abrasion level — safe for enamel, veneers, bonding, and other cosmetic work.
Sodium methyl Cocoyl Taurate
A gentle foaming agent derived from coconut fatty acids. Cleans without the dry-mouth effect of harsher detergents.
What we left out.
Every omission, on purpose.
Fluoride
We remineralize with nano-hydroxyapatite instead. No fluoride needed.
SLS
The detergent behind the foam. It can irritate soft tissue and dry the mouth.
Peroxide
A harsh whitener that wears on enamel and dental work over time.
Artificial dyes
Color that does nothing but change how it looks.
Triclosan
An antibacterial we'd never add to something you use every day.
Parabens & phthalates
Preservatives and plasticizers we would simply rather leave out.
