Sea salt in a toothpaste makes sense, as salt stimulates saliva production. The teeth, bathed in abundant flowing saliva, are gently cleaned. Thus, Weleda's Sole Toothpaste supports and enhances the physiological process of self-cleaning.
Weleda's Sole Toothpaste also contains a solid, well-soluble cleaning agent made from sodium bicarbonate, which removes dental plaque and prevents cavities. Additionally, acids harmful to tooth enamel are neutralized, providing long-term protection against the formation of tartar. Sea salt also helps by interacting with the surface of the gums, thereby strengthening them.
The extract of the Ratanhia root, commonly used in Weleda dental care, supports this effect along with plant extracts of myrrh and horse chestnut, as well as aescin. This helps prevent irritation of the gums. The plant extracts of myrrh, horse chestnut, and aescin also aid in firming the gums. The sea salt flavor is harmoniously rounded off by the natural essential oil of peppermint.
