Silica, commonly used in toothpaste, is a key component that enhances cleaning performance and tooth protection. In its powdered form, such as JSJ Silica, it provides gentle abrasive properties that remove plaque and surface stains without damaging tooth enamel. These properties make silica an essential ingredient for maintaining oral hygiene while ensuring a pleasant brushing experience.
Hydrated silica, a form of silicon dioxide, is carefully processed to achieve high purity and consistent particle size. This ensures that the material effectively cleans teeth, polishes surfaces, and contributes to the overall stability of toothpaste formulations. By using high-quality silica powders, toothpaste manufacturers can deliver products that are both effective and safe for daily use.
Benefits of JSJ Silica in Toothpaste
At JSJ, our silica products are designed to meet the specific requirements of oral care formulations. Using high-purity silicon dioxide powder and silicate powder, we support manufacturers in enhancing the cleaning efficiency of toothpaste while maintaining enamel safety.
The benefits of JSJ Silica in toothpaste include:
Enhanced Cleaning Performance: Silica particles provide gentle abrasion to remove plaque and surface stains effectively.
Tooth Protection: Carefully controlled particle size ensures enamel is not damaged during brushing.
Improved Formulation Stability: Silica helps stabilize toothpaste texture and prevents separation of ingredients.
Versatility: Compatible with a wide range of toothpaste ingredients, including fluoride and other common actives.
By combining technical expertise and advanced production methods, JSJ ensures that each batch of silica powder meets strict quality standards, making it suitable for safe use in oral care products.
Safety Considerations
Hydrated silica has been widely studied and used in toothpaste for decades. Regulatory authorities around the world recognize its safety when used in appropriate concentrations. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) – Scientific Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF) – has reaffirmed that silicon dioxide (E 551) is safe for all population groups, including infant foods, with no safety concerns identified. The report notes that no acceptable daily intake (ADI) has been established, but under current usage levels, it does not pose a risk. JSJ prioritizes high-purity production processes to minimize impurities, ensuring that the silica used in toothpaste is both effective and safe for consumers.
