Not so long ago by a lucky chance I became the winner of one one of competitions on Charm, and sent me the whole three new pastes from Blend-a-med. Having decided what for so many years much water has flowed under the bridges and pastes was changed, I decided to try to make friends with the known brand.
The first paste which we tested all family became "3D White Luxe Pearls Shine Instant Effect". The name is tempting, isn't that so?
Design of a tube and cardboard box just stunning: stylish, bright, brilliant, drawing attention. By it – you will want – you will not pass.
And what inside, that is, as a part of paste?
Water, follows it the silicon dioxide which is considered as safe abrasive means.
Sorbitol – it substance protects teeth from caries.
The pyrophosphate of sodium is a thickener, its task – to connect all components in a whole.
Ksilitol – antibacterial substance, on giving to harmful microorganisms – to causative agents of caries – to settle on tooth enamel.
Cellulose gum – one more thickener. Unfortunately, there is an opinion that you will not call this component useful.
Further – a fragrance, that is, mix of synthetic fragrances.
Kokamidopropilbetain is a washing ingredient, often I use it together with sulfates to reduce their harmful effects. It kind of equalizes dangerous and safe means, does structure much better.
Sodium hydroxide – alkali. Alas, this substance is marked as hazardous to health of the person.
Lauretfosfat of sodium is a surfactant, softer, than other sulfates.
Saccharin of sodium replaces sugar, resists to caries. Experts did not come to a consensus so far whether it is possible to call it completely safe.
Sodium fluorite – the fluoride protecting tooth enamel from influence of bacteria.
Ksantovy gum – the stabilizer, does not belong to toxic substances.
PEG-20 and a karbomer – thickeners., It seems, are considered as rather safe.
Sodium chloride – food salt, cleans and bleaches.
Sukraloza – sweetener, sugar substitute. It is completely brought out of an organism.
Limonene – fragrance. Interestingly, for what it if the fragrance was specified above?
Pearl powder – the fine bleaching means - is in the list penultimate. But it is! That is, the name of means is completely justified!
And here dye, too bleach closes the list.
As you can see, the structure is far from an ideal though it, perhaps, and is not absolutely bad.
Paste of white color with slightly nacreous gloss. The texture is uniform, there are no scratching parts. The aroma is mint, not sharp. On taste – sweetish and mint, not corroding.
Foams so-so: not so that too, but also does not behave as clay. Cleans teeth well, the freshness after it remains for a long time. In principle, it is pleasant to use it.
Despite all above-mentioned properties, it was not pleasant to children, they preferred other means. We with the husband used quite successfully. However we did not note any bleaching effect: color of enamel did not change not a jot! And, if at the husband it still can be justified with smoking, then why teeth were not bleached at me, at all it is unclear. In a word, the expected effect did not follow. Not that it was very offensive (in miracles and was not trusted at once), but, nevertheless, promises of the producer and remained promises.
Proceeding from everything told, I will draw a conclusion that paste is not bad, however and it is not so good to give it preference. Alas, such there is a lot of, and there is a wish for something more effective and useful.
