Mechanism of action

Toothpaste
Without bleach, without abrasive agents. The whitening toothpaste «Black is White» removes discoloration the gentle way: activated charcoal simply adsorbs discoloration particles. Plus: «Black is White» even boosts oral health. Enzymes thus support the salivary functions; hydroxyapatite remineralises the enamel and closes dentine channels. All this without SLS and without triclosan.

Toothbrush
The «Black is White» toothbrush is, thanks to its 5100 CUREN® filaments and the reinforced white middle lane, effective against plaque and still gentle to your gums.

What to know about activated charcoal

• Activated charcoal is used in medicine to adsorb tannins, chromogens, and pigments. Applying the concept to teeth may work for stain removal.

• Activated charcoal is made by burning charcoal-rich materials, such as wood, at very high temperatures. The resulting product is a black, odorless powder. The charcoal is then activated through a special oxidation process that creates porosities on the charcoal particles to increase surface area and available binding sites.

• For tooth surface stain removal, charcoal adsorbs a wide range of impurities and contaminants, including pigments. As a result, it will adsorb tannins and phenols.

• The charcoal should be allowed to sit for a few minutes. (longer the contact time = better the results)

• Even if ingested, the activated charcoal will be expelled along with tannins from the body. Increased use of activated charcoal over an extended period can lead to greater whitening effects.
