Formulation view Standard fluoride toothpaste with sorbitol/silica abrasion matrix. SLS foams; phosphate buffers pH. Cellulose gum and carbomer thicken; pigments and saccharin adjust appearance and taste. Factory note: Dual thickeners require precise pH control for gel strength; high phosphate levels may cause astringency, necessitating careful proportioning.

Ingredients explained
- Sodium Fluoride
- Fluoride for antiplaque/oral care; restrict to oral products and control concentration
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Hydrated Silica
- Inorganic abrasive and oil absorbent; prone to settling, needs dispersant, high levels increase exfoliation
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
- Strong anionic surfactant, high foam; high irritation risk, avoid in sensitive formulas.
- Trisodium Phosphate
- Strong alkaline buffer for high pH regulation; use precise dosing to avoid irritation
- Flavor
- Food-grade flavoring; verify cosmetic compliance and allergen content if used in skincare.
- Cellulose Gum
- Cellulose gum, water-soluble thickener/stabilizer; may destabilize with cationics, hydrate first.
- Sodium Phosphate
- Phosphate buffer and anti-seborrheic; pH regulator, aids sebum control, high levels are irritating
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Sodium Saccharin
- High-potency sweetener for oral care products to improve taste; well-tolerated at low levels, no known irritancy.
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Blue 1
- Synthetic water-soluble dye for color; use within regulatory limits
