Developed by Azelis EMEA DACH. A fluoride tooth powder with a fresh mint profile, built on sodium bicarbonate, silica and microcrystalline cellulose, with Tagra's encapsulated menthol for a controlled, prolonged fresh release.

Key Tagra ingredients

• CelluOil™ Ment – cellulose-based encapsulated menthol that protects and prevents the loss of volatile aromatic ingredients, and improves and prolongs the controlled release of the essential oil.

Other key ingredients

• MACKOL® CAS-100N – sodium coco-sulfate derived from natural coconut oil; free-flowing needles that disperse easily in water (heat is required to fully dissolve). Provides good lather, thickening and conditioning properties.

• AEROSIL® 200 – high-purity amorphous anhydrous colloidal silicon dioxide used as a viscosity control agent to improve storage and temperature stability; also improves the distribution of actives and is an effective desiccant for moisture-sensitive actives.

• AVICEL® PC 105 – non-colloidal microcrystalline cellulose that provides a mild peeling effect (particle size ~100 µm).

• RONACARE® Zinc Sulfate – the sulfate salt of zinc, widely used in cosmetics for its antimicrobial and astringent properties.

• PURITY® 21C Pure – very white unmodified corn starch, ideal whenever high whiteness and free-flowing properties are required.

• ZEODENT® 113 – offers toothpaste formulations a wide range of flexibility in compatibility of active ingredients and of the final product.

• BLANOVA® Xylitol Crystalline – crystalline, granular, pure white xylitol, increasingly popular in everyday hygiene products such as nasal sprays, mouthwashes and toothpastes.

• RONACARE® Allantoin – multifunctional active with moisturizing and keratolytic effects; well known for its wound-healing, soothing and anti-irritant properties.

• RONACARE® NaF – protects against caries, reducing plaque formation and improving the remineralization of tooth enamel.
