Manufactum tooth powder

Cacium Carbonicum without other additives.

Calcium carbonate dissolves soft (plaque) and hard (tartar) impurities without attacking the enamel (RDA value 40-50) due to its material relationship with the tooth matter. For our white, phosphate-free tooth powder, which was the standard in all official pharmacopoeias in Europe until the beginning of the 20th century, the calcium carbonate was put into solution and precipitated again. This "Calcium carbonicum praecipitatum" has the finest possible solid structure. To use, simply put a pea-sized amount of powder on the wet toothbrush, brush as usual and rinse your mouth.

We offer our tooth powder in several variants: white tooth powder made of calcium carbonate in pure form without further additives or with peppermint oil for fresh breath. The third, black variant consists of medicinal charcoal and sage. This tooth powder is prepared according to a collection of recipes from 1904. The immensely large surface of the slurried charcoal has striking cleaning power - with low abrasive effect (RDA value 30). The fine powder is mixed with powdered sage leaves, the use of which for dental hygiene is already mentioned in connection with monastery gardens of the 9th century.

We have developed a body care series according to our specifications and are cooperating for this project with two pharmacists from North Rhine-Westphalia. Based on well-thought-out recipes, all products of the series comply with our maxim: reduced to the essentials. Our partners see to it that the products of our series solely contain what serves the particular purpose. Moreover, although they are no pharmaceutical preparations, most of their ingredients – somewhat unusual for body care products – are of pharmacopoeia quality according to the current German and European Pharmacopoeia; both officinal collections set high standards in terms of purity, enrichment and freshness. Our range of products is small but well-considered, and we add only a few articles each year. Partly, the formulations derive from old officinal formulae and antiquarian pharmacopoeias; partly, we present new in-house developments based on proven elements and compounds. We attach great importance to natural ingredients and therefore completely dispense with petrochemical-based raw materials as well as synthetic fragrances, dyes and preservatives.
