Description
Weleda Toothpaste Plant Gel Spearmint Flavour is a fluoride-free gel toothpaste positioned for gum protection, built around mineral silica, myrrh, chamomile and ratanha. It comes in a 75ml tube.
Gentle plant power for sensitive gums
Weleda describes this as a mild toothpaste with mineral silica to gently lift away bacterial plaque without affecting tooth enamel. That's a more specific claim than a generic "gentle clean", and it reflects the fact that this gel is aimed at people with sensitive or delicate gums rather than positioned as an everyday toothpaste for everyone.
What's doing the work
- Mineral silica, a gentle abrasive that lifts plaque without affecting enamel
- Myrrh and chamomile extracts, blended to help keep gums and the inside of the mouth naturally in balance
- Ratanha extract, included specifically to help support delicate gums and offer gum protection
- Peppermint and spearmint oils, freshening breath and giving the toothpaste its flavour
The claims, as Weleda states them
- Supports gum health
- Helps prevent cavities
- Reduces plaque
Weleda states that regular brushing with this toothpaste reduces plaque, helping protect against cavities.
No fluoride, by design
Like Weleda's other oral care toothpastes, this one contains no fluoride. If fluoride is something you or your dentist prioritise for cavity protection, it's worth discussing whether a fluoride-free toothpaste fits your dental care plan.
How to use it
Brush as normal, twice daily, using this gel in place of your usual toothpaste. The gel texture and spearmint flavour are milder than a salt-based paste, which may suit sensitive gums or a gentler brushing experience. If you'd prefer a saltier, more traditional paste instead, the Weleda Toothpaste Salt Salty Peppermint Flavour is worth comparing.
