Description
Epic Dental Spearmint Toothpaste With 25% Xylitol
Epic Dental toothpaste in Spearmint is built around one main idea: a high dose of xylitol without fluoride. The tube states that it contains 25% xylitol, the headline ingredient in this xylitol toothpaste. Xylitol is a naturally occurring sweetener that is widely used in oral care products, and here it also helps give the paste a mildly sweet taste. It comes in a large 4.9 oz (138 g) tube with a clean spearmint flavour, so it works well for daily brushing at home or when travelling.
Key features
- Fluoride-free formula
- 25% xylitol, as stated on the tube
- Fresh spearmint flavour
- Vegetable glycerin, hydrated silica and stevia leaf extract
- Generous 138 g tube
What is in the formula
The list is short and easy to read. Vegetable glycerin and purified water form the base, hydrated silica provides the gentle cleaning action, and xylitol sits high on the list. Natural flavours give the spearmint taste, stevia rebaudiana leaf and stem extract adds sweetness, and sodium lauroyl sarcosinate handles the foaming. Cellulose gum and carrageenan keep the texture smooth, while calcium glycerophosphate, copper PCA and zinc PCA complete the formula.
Who it suits
This toothpaste suits adults and families who want to brush with a fluoride-free paste and like the idea of a high xylitol content. It is also a sensible option if you are comparing spearmint toothpaste brands and want a straightforward ingredient list. If you would like to compare another xylitol option, the Xlear Natural Spry spearmint toothpaste is available in the same flavour.
A note on pets
The packaging carries a clear "Keep away from dogs" warning. Xylitol is used in this toothpaste, so store the tube out of reach of pets.
How to use it
No special directions are printed on the tube, so use it as you would any toothpaste: brush your teeth thoroughly, twice a day or as directed by your dentist, then spit out the excess and avoid swallowing the paste.
