Colgate Active Salt Toothpaste, Germ Fighting Toothpaste for Healthy Gum & Teeth 150g

Rounding out your oral care essentials, the Colgate Active Salt Toothpaste (150g) is a household staple that balances traditional ingredients with modern dental science. Known for its “germ-fighting” capabilities, it uses the natural antibacterial properties of salt to help keep gums and teeth healthy.

Key Features

• Active Salt Power: Contains sodium chloride (active salt) microcrystals that help scrub away hidden germs and plaque, particularly along the gum line.

• Gum Health: Salt is traditionally known to reduce inflammation; this formula is specifically designed to promote firmer, healthier gums.

• Enamel Protection: Unlike some purely abrasive toothpastes, this includes fluoride to strengthen enamel and prevent cavities.

• Refreshing Mint Flavor: Combines the salty “kick” with a refreshing minty aftertaste to ensure long-lasting fresh breath.

Usage Tips

1. The “Dry Brush” Method: For salt-based toothpastes, some dentists recommend starting with a dry toothbrush so the microcrystals can scrub surface stains more effectively before they dissolve in water.

2. Pea-Sized Amount: Since it foams efficiently, a pea-sized amount is all you need for a thorough 2-minute clean.

3. Gum Massage: While brushing, gently circular motions over the gums allow the salt microcrystals to stimulate blood flow and help keep them strong.

Standard vs. Variants

• Colgate Active Salt (Standard): Focused on general germ-fighting and gum health.

• Colgate Active Salt Neem: Adds the extra antibacterial benefit of Neem.

• Colgate Active Salt Lemon: Targeted towards removing yellowish stains and providing extra citrus freshness.
