Gentle by design.

 

Great skincare taught us that effective care doesn’t have to be harsh. We brought that same thinking to oral care.

Gentle polishing agents, lightweight texture, and natural actives that work with the body. Every ingredient has a purpose.

Why 10%?

Putting hydroxyapatite on the label is one thing. Putting a meaningful amount in the tube is another.

We chose 10% because it’s a concentration studied in clinical research on enamel care and cavity prevention.

Nano-hydroxyapatite, explained

Backed by research.

In an 18-month study of 189 adults, toothpaste containing 10% hydroxyapatite performed comparably to fluoride toothpaste in preventing cavities.
