Whitening Antiplaque ToothpasteHimalaya Whitening Antiplaque Toothpaste, Charcoal + Black Seed Oil, Mint, 113 g (4 oz)

Botanical extracts behind the charcoal

Xylitol, zinc citrate and thymol feature in this paste, together with a group of organic extracts such as neem leaf, pomegranate and amla. It is sweetened with stevia and flavoured with essential oils and botanicals rather than artificial flavours or colours. Himalaya positions it as a whitening, antiplaque paste that leaves the mouth feeling fresher.

Free-from details at a glance

Beyond being fluoride free, the formula is free from carrageenan and gluten, and the brand describes it as BPA free and cruelty-free. Cleansing comes from lauryl glucoside, derived from coconut oil, in place of sodium lauryl sulfate. Himalaya notes it has been family owned for 90 years.

What whitening means here

The whitening claim relates to the cleaning action of charcoal powder as you brush, so treat it as help with everyday surface brightness rather than a bleaching treatment. Results vary with the starting condition of your teeth and your brushing habits.

How to use

Brush thoroughly after each meal or at least twice a day, or as directed by a dentist. Children under 6 should use a pea-sized amount under adult supervision. For children under 2, consult your dentist before use.

Before you choose

This is a fluoride-free toothpaste, so choose a fluoride paste instead if that is what your dentist has advised. Children under 6 need adult supervision and a pea-sized amount, and under-2s should only use it on a dentist's advice. Store at room temperature. US-market product: packaging and label wording may differ from UK versions.
