Frequently Asked Questions
What is XyliWhite Platinum Mint?
XyliWhite Platinum Mint is a fluoride-free toothpaste gel made by NOW Solutions, the personal care range from NOW Foods. It is built around 25% xylitol, with 9% sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and the enzyme papain, and comes in a 181g (6.4 oz) tube with a natural peppermint flavour.
Does it contain fluoride?
No. XyliWhite is a fluoride-free formula. That means it does not provide the enamel protection that fluoride toothpastes are used for. If your dentist has advised you to use a fluoride toothpaste, this product is not a replacement for it.
How much xylitol does it contain?
The formula is 25% xylitol. Xylitol is a plant-derived sweetener and is the main functional ingredient across the whole XyliWhite range.
What does the baking soda do?
Sodium bicarbonate makes up 9% of the formula. It is a mild polishing agent that cleans the tooth surface, which is how it contributes to the whitening effect alongside hydrated silica and papain.
Is it SLS-free?
Yes. Instead of sodium lauryl sulfate, the formula uses sodium coco-sulfate, a coconut-derived foaming agent. The formula is also free from parabens and gluten.
Is it suitable for vegans?
Yes. The manufacturer lists the formula as vegetarian and vegan. The papain enzyme is derived from papaya fruit, not an animal source.
Can children use it?
The manufacturer's directions cover adults and children aged 2 and over. Young children should be supervised while brushing. Ask your dentist if you are unsure which toothpaste is right for your child.
Is it safe around pets?
No. Xylitol is toxic to dogs and some other animals even in small amounts. Store the tube well out of reach of pets and contact a vet immediately if you suspect an animal has ingested any xylitol-containing product.
What does it taste like?
Platinum Mint has a natural peppermint flavour. Xylitol itself tastes sweet, so the gel has a mild sweetness without added sugar. The product is a colourless gel.
