A plastic-free toothpaste that does not compromise on the one ingredient that matters most. Plenty of natural toothpastes leave fluoride out. Parla's dentist founders were clear that they would not, so Enamel Protect carries 1450ppm, the same level as a standard adult toothpaste from the chemist.
Around that sits a deliberately short ingredient list: no SLS, no palm oil, no artificial colours. Four naturally sourced polishing agents lift everyday staining from tea, coffee and red wine without the harsh abrasion that whitening pastes often rely on. The tube is aluminium, and so is the cap, so the whole thing goes in your recycling without needing to be taken apart.
Brush twice daily for two minutes. Spit, do not rinse, so the fluoride stays on your teeth and keeps working. Avoid eating or drinking for around 20 minutes afterwards.
Aluminium tube with an aluminium cap. Both go straight into household recycling with no rinsing or separating. Aluminium can be recycled indefinitely without losing quality, which is the reason Parla chose it over the mixed plastic and foil laminate used in conventional toothpaste tubes.
Does it contain fluoride?
Yes, 1450ppm. That is full adult strength and the same as most high street toothpastes.
What is the difference between this and Parla Pro Whitening?
Enamel Protect is the everyday fluoride paste. Pro Whitening adds hydroxyapatite along with vitamins B12 and E and is aimed at whitening and sensitivity.
Will it whiten my teeth?
It lifts surface staining through gentle polishing, which brings teeth back towards their natural shade. It will not bleach them lighter than that.
Why no SLS?
Sodium lauryl sulphate is the foaming agent in most toothpaste and is a common trigger for mouth ulcers and irritation. Leaving it out means less foam and a milder feel.
Is the tube actually recyclable at home?
Yes. Tube and cap are both aluminium, so the whole thing goes in your kerbside recycling.
Is it suitable for children?
This is a full-strength adult toothpaste. Check the carton for the age guidance before giving it to children.
