This gentle, low-abrasion formula contains no sodium lauryl sulfate (foaming agent), making it a perfect choice for electric toothbrush users. This formula is naturally flavored using a unique blend of essential oils (lemon, orange, grapefruit, bergamot, lime, peppermint) and Xylitol. Xylitol is a natural sweetener, found in many fruits and vegetables, and has been shown to inhibit the formation of plaque as well as the bacteria implicated in tooth decay. A zesty lemon-mint flavor stimulates healthy salivary flow providing essential moisture for mouth tissue along with a great taste.
