Ingredients and what they do
Potassium Nitrate 5% w/w — a desensitizing ingredient that helps reduce sensitivity by calming nerve endings in the tooth. This can make brushing more comfortable for sensitive teeth. Sodium Fluoride 0.254% w/w (Fluoride 0.115% w/w) — strengthens and reinforces enamel to help resist acid erosion and cavities when used regularly.
Non-medical ingredients include cocamidopropyl betaine, flavor, glycerin, hydrated silica, PEG-8, PVM/MA copolymer, sodium hydroxide, sodium lactate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, sodium saccharin, sorbitol, titanium dioxide, water, xanthan gum. Together these components create a smooth brushing experience, help remove plaque, and deliver the active fluoride where it’s needed.
