Silica and Limestone
Minerals such as silica and limestone are found in toothpaste and provide the coarseness that scrubs the teeth clean.
Aluminum Oxide
The coarse scrubbing action of toothpaste can come from aluminum oxide and other phosphate minerals.
Titanium Dioxide
Titanium dioxide, which is made from the minerals ilmenite, rutile and anatase, are present in toothpaste. This gives the toothpaste its white pigment.
Mica
Sparkles in toothpaste are made possible by the presence of mica, which is found in rocks.
Fluoride
Fluoride found in toothpaste is derived from the mineral fluorite. It is used to help reduce cavities.
