01 -- The Science
Formulation & Safety
"The questions I'm asked most in practice. Here's what I'd tell you in the chair."
Biomimetic means to 'mimic nature' -- our formulations work with your body's natural processes, not against them. Instead of fluoride or peroxide, we use nano-hydroxyapatite, the same mineral that makes up your tooth enamel, to strengthen and brighten naturally.
Yes, nano-HAp is safe for all ages, including children. Unlike fluoride, it's not systemically absorbed. Recent research shows it's as effective as fluoride for cavity prevention, and can also offer sensitivity relief and whitening, which fluoride does not.
Important: If pregnant or under 3 years of age, please consult your physician or dental professional before use.
Nano-hydroxyapatite actively remineralizes enamel (versus fluoride's surface hardening), isn't systemically absorbed, and works with the body's natural processes. There is also evidence that supports its ability to whiten teeth and reduce sensitivity.
No. We tested this extensively with dental hygienists. The silk is treated to prevent shredding and maintain strength throughout the full 38m length.
Yes, completely. The floss is 100% natural silk. The jar is glass. The cap is metal. Zero plastic components.
02 -- The Ritual
Using the Products
"How they actually live in your routine, from someone who uses them daily."
Approximately 2 months with regular twice-daily brushing.
Approximately 2-3 months with daily flossing. The 2-pack provides a minimum of 4 months.
The toothpaste is cucumber, juniper, and mint -- fresh and botanical, not artificially sweet. The floss is citrus-forward -- orange, bergamot, and clove. The two products have intentionally different flavor profiles.
Yes, absolutely.
