Tom's of Maine New Toothpaste Formula

Naturals oral care player Tom's of Maine is launching a series of new toothpaste formulas that feature its new formula, comprising natural-based active ingredients.

The company says that the patent-pending formula is a major breakthrough for the natural oral care sector and will be incorporated into its new Natural Clean & Gentle Care and Natural Sensitive Care toothpastes.

"The Tom's research team has discovered that the natural ingredient glycyrrhizin, from purified licorice root, creates a natural foaming experience for dispersing ingredients in the mouth," said Tom Chappell co-founder and CEO of Tom's of Maine.

"Glycyrrhizin needs no additional processing and is gentle on gums - good news for those who prefer to brush gently," he added.

Formulation includes a range of natural extracts

The formulation also includes xylitol, an extract of birch trees or corn, as well as glycerin and organic aloe - ingredients that are all known to impart soothing properties to gums and teeth.
