Glycerin
Soothes and moisturizes. It is a colorless, odorless, viscous liquid that is sweet-tasting and non-toxic.
Water
Always better to use a whitening product with a high water content! Hydrogen Peroxide naturally dries out the enamel, so you gotta make sure to seal in that whiteness by rehydrating. More water equals less sensitivity and long-lasting results.
Hydrogen Peroxide (12.5%)
Safe, efficacious, and at a goldilocks inclusion level. More isn’t always better (as we learned from our pros). There's a fine line between achieving optimal whiteness and avoiding sensitivity and 12.5 is the sweet spot!
Xylitol
The OG favorite of our pros. In this formulation, xylitol is working overtime. We love it for its anti-inflammatory effect (reduces proinflammatory bacteria), its ability to neutralize the pH of your saliva, and its kind of sweet!
Povidone
A bioadhesive polymer.. basically working to keep that whitening gel on the surface of your tooth! (Aka a stabilizer, binder, thickening agent, suspension agent)A bioadhesive polymer.. basically working to keep that whitening gel on the surface of your tooth!

Carbomer
A safe inactive ingredient that makes sure all the actives can do their jobs. It helps to stabilize, thicken and give the gel a great consistency.
Potassium Hydroxide
A strong “base” helps to balance and stabilize the pH of our formulation. We want to neutralize any acidity that could harm your enamel or increase sensitivity.
Silicon Dioxide
This one is an anti-caking agent. Ain’t nobody got time for clumps and bumps.
Dipotassium Phosphate
A water-soluble salt. And guess what salt does; it preserves things. No bacterial growth here.
Citric Acid
Basically the same as above . . .except instead of salt it's a weak organic acid. Great as a safe preservative.
EDTA
A chelating agent (think about a claw that reaches out and grabs other molecules) stabilizes the HP in our formulation.
Peppermint Oil
We’ve opted for peppermint oil over artificial flavors. Fresh breath while you whiten - except make it all-natural.
