Xlear Spry Peppermint Toothpaste: A Toothpaste With Xylitol, Without Fluoride
If you are searching for a toothpaste with xylitol that also leaves out fluoride and SLS, Xlear Spry Peppermint is worth a look. It is part of the Spry Dental Defence System, which pairs xylitol and aloe vera with Tooth Hardening Enamel Max™ in a natural, paraben-free paste. The 141 g tube has a crisp peppermint flavour for daily brushing.
Key features
Xlear describes this formula as one that remineralises, hardens and strengthens tooth enamel and helps reduce sensitivity. It also controls tartar, reduces plaque buildup and inhibits bacteria from adhering to teeth and gums.
- Fluoride-free, clinically proven xylitol formula
- Remineralises and strengthens enamel
- No irritating SLS or sulphates, a handy option if you want an SLS-free toothpaste
- Natural peppermint flavour with stevia for sweetness
- Paraben-free, Kosher and Halal certified
What is in the tube
Sweetness comes from xylitol, erythritol and stevia, while lauryl glucoside and sodium methyl cocoyl taurate handle the cleansing. Other ingredients include l-arginine, cranberry extract, zinc citrate and aloe vera. The full ingredient list is set out below so you can check it against your own preferences.
Peppermint or spearmint?
Both flavours share the same core formula, so the choice comes down to taste. Peppermint gives a cool, classic minty finish. If you would rather try spearmint, the Xlear Natural Spry Spearmint toothpaste is the sibling to try.
Who it suits
This toothpaste suits adults and children aged two years and older who want a natural everyday paste. It may appeal if you like to avoid fluoride, prefer sulphate-free cleansing agents, or simply want a toothpaste with xylitol in the ingredient list rather than as an afterthought.

Adults and children aged two years and older: brush teeth thoroughly after each meal or at least twice a day, or as directed by your dentist.
