Formulation view Core formula centers on calcium pyrophosphate minerals, combined with polyethylene glycol and PVP for solubility and film formation. Cleansing uses sodium lauryl sulfate and cocamidopropyl betaine to balance lather and mildness. Sodium monofluorophosphate provides fluoride, with sweeteners for taste. Chelators prevent metal ion interference. Formulator note: The combination of inorganic powders and organic polymers aims to balance cleaning power and mildness; strict control of powder particle size is crucial for polishing efficiency without damaging enamel.E · AI inference · to be verified
