This wonder oil has many benefits, but when used in the mouth, its primary functions are to soothe the gums and to provide a fresh and clean aftertaste. It also has natural anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties.

The sweetener Sorbitol is naturally derived from corn. Not only does it not cause cavities, it can help reduce dental plaque and acids, while also fighting harmful pathogens found in saliva. As a humectant, it also helps to moisten the mouth.
We use this sugar substitute extracted from the leaves of the Stevia Rebaudiana plant, and native to Brazil and Paraguay. As stevia is sugar-free, it does not fuel the plaque bacteria that causes tooth decay. It also helps to remove the bitter notes.
We use pure water to blend ingredients and give our products the right consistency.
This corn-derived sugar free sweetener has anti-bacterial properties, is non-cariogenic and doesn’t ferment in your mouth to feed tooth decaying bacteria.
