▶ Watch to learn how to read a toothpaste ingredient panel the way formulators do... and see what most labels don’t explain.

What if the most important clue about whether your toothpaste actually works isn’t on the front of the tube at all?

In this video, we show you how to look under the hood of a toothpaste formula by learning how to interpret the ingredient panel with clarity and context and to see beyond the marketing.

Most natural toothpaste labels highlight familiar ingredients like hydroxyapatite or xylitol. But what they often don’t explain is just as important as what they include. The amount, form, and placement of ingredients on the ingredient label determine whether a toothpaste can truly support enamel and help protect against cavities.

In this video, you’ll learn:
• How ingredient order reveals what’s really in a toothpaste
• The difference between functional (active) and structural (inactive) ingredients
• Why quantity matters for fluoride, hydroxyapatite, and xylitol
• How formulation shortcuts quietly reduce effectiveness
• How to evaluate any toothpaste label with confidence

Our goal with this video is to equip you with the perspective needed to see past the marketing language and look under the hood to understand what’s really going on in any toothpaste formula.
