Key ingredients 10
XylitolVery Good
Natural birch-derived sugar alcohol present as the second ingredient. Inhibits cavity-causing Streptococcus mutans growth, reduces plaque adhesion, and is clinically associated with reduced cavity rates — especially valuable in a baby toothpaste where the user routinely swallows the paste.

Humectant that draws moisture to the skin — a beneficial base ingredient.
See more about Glycerin →Calcium LactateGood
Calcium source that supports enamel remineralization. Particularly relevant in a fluoride-free formula because it provides one of fluoride's main mechanisms (mineral deposition) without the neurotoxicity concerns.

Sugar alcohol humectant; non-cariogenic and safe to swallow.
