Our Ingredients

Since we started Grants of Australia back in 1984, our mission has been to provide customers with natural oral hygiene products that are effective and great-tasting to boot! After many years of research, formulation testing and taste testing, we’ve developed a range of toothpastes that include only the best ingredients for healthy teeth and gums. Here are some of our favourites:

• Certified Organic Aloe Vera
  With its anti-inflammatory properties, the certified organic Aloe Vera in many of Grants toothpastes helps to soothe and heal teeth and gums.

• Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate
  The Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate used in Grants toothpastes is of plant and vegetable origin. It provides foam during brushing and helps to disperse the toothpaste in the mouth, enhancing the overall cleaning experience.  It also helps to break up plaque and debris on the teeth and reduces the growth of bacteria in the mouth.  
  Note that this ingredient is different to SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) which is a surfactant and often derived from a synthetic source.

• Hydrated Silica
  Hydrated Silica helps to remove plaque and whiten teeth. 
  
  

• Potassium Nitrate
  Potassium Nitrate helps to reduce teeth sensitivity by blocking pain signals and calming the nerves inside the teeth. 

Our toothpastes aren’t just packed with natural goodness - they’re totally free from ingredients like SLS, parabens, triclosan, dyes, artificial flavours and preservatives. Your toothpaste doesn’t need to contain potentially harmful ingredients to work effectively - that’s what Grants is all about!
