Clean Mint Toothpaste – Fluoride free cavity protection 

 Ollie’s fluoride-free formula is one of the few natural toothpastes available that has fluoride-level cavity protection by using 10% nano-hydroxyapatite. 

 What is clean? 

Yes, “Clean” is a bit of a buzzword, but we couldn’t think of a better term to describe this toothpaste. To us, clean means removing any ingredients with any potential for adverse effects AND including ingredients that serve a purpose to improve your oral health.  

Ollie Clean Mint is one of the only clean ingredient toothpastes with cavity protection! How did we do it? Combined the right amount of hydroxyapatite and xylitol in a PH balanced formula.  

Studies suggest that a 10% Hydroxyapatite formula is best for maximum cavity protection – yet most major HAP brands only contain 1-2%. Ollie followed the science and upped the percentage of HAP to 10% which offers comparable cavity protection to fluoride.  

How does it taste? 

The light Clean Mint flavor is powered by natural peppermint oil and isn’t too strong. The Sodium Glutimate provides foam without any risks of irritation. The clean mint formulation is also significantly less watery than most other natural toothpaste formulas. Minty enough to freshen your breath without any harsh burn.  

Naturally Whiter 

Other whitening toothpastes use harsh abrasives to remove surface stains. While surface stain removal is important, it can easily be achieved by brushing twice a day. Long term use of overly abrasive toothpaste can damage gum tissue and enamel increasing tooth sensitivity. Ollie Clean Mint has low abrasiveness and whitens by rebuilding and smoothing your tooth’s outer surface. Hydroxyapatite is the same material as your enamel and readily combines with small [graphic here] gaps and cracks in your tooth’s surface 

Uncomplicated ingredients: 

When it comes to products that go in and on your body, fewer ingredients is better! Ollie Clean Mint toothpaste is the simplest solution for a natural toothpaste with ingredients proven to effectively fight cavities. Many natural toothpastes remove all cavity fighting ingredients and leave you with less protection than other alternatives. Ollie is formulated with 10% nano-hydroxyapatite which has been shown to be just as effective as fluoride at preventing cavities. Free from SLS, glycerin, and artificial colors, you won’t find any cringe worthy ingredients. Clean Mint is a low-abrasiveness formula so its perfect for those with sensitive teeth and gums.   

Ollie only has 11 ingredients (two of which are water and coconut oil), each with a specific purpose. Here’s some keys to the formula: 

• Xylitol – a sweetener that literally “starves” streptococcus mutans – a bacterial strain that causes tooth decay. This should be a staple in any toothpaste. While there are millions of good bacteria 
• Nano Hydroxyapatite – Very few toothpastes contain hydroxyapatite, much less 10%. The nano particles are small enough to fit into and heal small cracks and gaps within your teeth and the concentration means there will be enough to do the job. 
• Potassium Gluconate – a potassium salt compound that helps control tooth sensitivity. 

• Coconut Oil – has been shown to have anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties. 

Why 10% matters: Most studies which test the effectiveness of hydroxyapatite use a 10% formula. This concentration is the gold standard for cavity protection. 

 “HAP particles resemble naturally occurring enamel crystals. HAP particles have been shown to bind to the damaged enamel surface and fill in the porous surface irregularities in order restore the surface integrity”
