Sodium bicarbonate and kaolin – mineral 'cleaning wonders' for whiter teeth
Experience naturally clean teeth! lavera's whitening toothpaste contains two premium mineral ingredients: sodium bicarbonate and kaolin. These natural substances have multiple benefits for your dental health. Read on to find out what these are.
Sodium bicarbonate, also known as baking soda, is widely used for its proven effectiveness in natural dental care. It is a fine, white powder which is used as a cleaning agent in natural toothpastes. It facilitates plaque removal - even between the teeth. Sodium bicarbonate is characterised by its fine particle size and excellent cleaning properties. And the best thing of all: It effortlessly removes unsightly dental stains and discolouration, for a visible brightening effect.
Kaolin is a white clay with a texture somewhat reminiscent of chalk. Also known as "china clay", this mineral raw material is an essential ingredient in the manufacture of china and porcelain. In whitening toothpastes, kaolin acts as a gentle cleaning agent that effectively removes plaque and stains from the teeth. Its gently abrasive effect enables thorough cleaning. This naturally white pigment imparts toothpaste with its characteristic pristine whiteness, offering a welcome alternative to titanium dioxide.
