Medi-Peel Herb Pirin Salt Toothpaste

This is a herb-and-salt toothpaste designed for people with gum sensitivity, bleeding gums, or a tendency toward tartar and bad breath. It's built around a combination of Hydroxyapatite for enamel remineralisation, Sodium Chloride (salt) for gum care, Xylitol for cavity prevention, and Propolis Extract for antibacterial support. It's fluoride-free, free of CMIT and MIT preservatives, and suits people who find conventional toothpastes too harsh.

No. This is a fluoride-free formula. Instead of fluoride, it uses Hydroxyapatite as the primary remineralising and enamel-protective agent. Hydroxyapatite is the same mineral that makes up tooth enamel, and research supports its ability to fill micro-damage and reduce sensitivity. It also contains Xylitol, which inhibits cavity-causing bacteria independently of fluoride. This makes it a suitable option for people who prefer to avoid fluoride in their oral care routine.

Salt (Sodium Chloride) has a long history of use in oral care. It creates a mildly alkaline oral environment that is inhospitable to acid-producing bacteria responsible for cavities and gum inflammation. It also has mild osmotic and antiseptic properties that support gum health and reduce swelling. In this formula, salt works alongside Propolis Extract and Mastic Oil -both of which have independently documented antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects in the oral cavity.

The formula's main functional ingredients: Hydroxyapatite -remineralises enamel and reduces sensitivity; Sodium Chloride (salt) -antibacterial, supports gum health; Xylitol -inhibits cavity-causing bacteria and improves oral pH; Propolis Extract -broad-spectrum antibacterial and anti-inflammatory; Mastic Oil -antimicrobial resin traditionally used for gum disease and bad breath; Glycyrrhiza (Licorice) Extract -anti-inflammatory, supports gum tissue; Aloe Extract -soothing; Peppermint Oil -antibacterial and freshening.

The product contains small cleansing capsules that dissolve during brushing to release a burst of cleaning action. These are water-soluble, not plastic microbeads -an important distinction since microplastic-containing toothpastes have faced restrictions in several countries. The capsules are designed to enhance the cleaning sensation and help dislodge plaque and debris from between teeth. They do not function as an exfoliant in the way facial scrub beads do; they are a delivery mechanism for the formula's active components.

Yes -this is one of its primary use cases. The formula avoids fluoride, SLS-heavy formulations, and harsh abrasives in favour of gentler actives. Hydroxyapatite addresses sensitivity by remineralising exposed dentine. Salt and Propolis support gum health and reduce bacterial load around inflamed tissue. Aloe Extract and Glycyrrhiza provide soothing anti-inflammatory support. For persistent gum bleeding or severe sensitivity, dental consultation is recommended alongside any toothpaste change.

Most standard toothpastes use sodium fluoride as the primary active, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) as the foaming agent, and calcium carbonate or hydrated silica as the abrasive. Medi-Peel Herb Pirin Salt replaces fluoride with Hydroxyapatite, retains a moderate amount of SLS, and builds a much more complex botanical layer -propolis, mastic oil, licorice, aloe, sage, rosemary, chamomile, green tea -that standard toothpastes don't carry. It's a formula positioned closer to functional oral wellness than commodity dental hygiene.

Apply a pea-sized amount to your toothbrush. Brush thoroughly for at least one minute, ensuring each tooth surface is covered -including along the gumline where salt and propolis are most effective. Rinse with water. For best results with Hydroxyapatite, avoid rinsing immediately with a strong mouthwash straight after brushing, as this can remove the Hydroxyapatite before it has time to interact with the enamel surface. Use twice daily.
