Sodium Monofluorophosphate: Sodium Monofluorophosphate is a fluoride compound that helps in remineralising the tooth enamel, thereby enhancing its resistance to acid attacks and preventing cavities
Triclosan: It is an antibiotic agent that controls plaque formation and fights gum inflammation
Natural mint: It acts as a refreshing agent and combats bad breath.

Precaution
- It is not recommended for children less than 6 years. Young children are more likely to swallow toothpaste instead of spitting it out, which can lead to excessive fluoride intake. This can cause dental fluorosis—a condition that affects the appearance of developing teeth. For this reason, it’s best to use specially formulated children’s toothpaste for kids under 6 and supervise brushing.
- Read the label carefully: The label contains important information about how to use the product safely and effectively, such as dosage, storage, and specific warnings. Always read it thoroughly to make sure you’re using the product as intended.
- Store in a cool, dry place: Toothpaste should be kept away from heat and humidity, which can degrade the active ingredients and affect its texture or effectiveness. A bathroom cabinet or drawer (not near direct sunlight or heat sources) is an ideal spot.
