Ela Mint Toothpaste
Boka is a leader in the US market for nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HA) toothpaste, providing a non-toxic alternative to fluoride that actively remineralizes enamel. It is free from SLS, parabens, and artificial flavors while maintaining a highly palatable taste and smooth texture.
Ingredients & Purity
Features 2% nano-hydroxyapatite, the gold standard for non-fluoride remineralization. Includes Xylitol to inhibit bacteria and Green Tea extract for antioxidant properties.
Scientific Evidence
Nano-hydroxyapatite has been shown in multiple RCTs to be as effective as fluoride in remineralizing initial caries and reducing sensitivity.
Brand Transparency
Full ingredient list disclosed; however, specific particle size of n-HA is not always listed on packaging, though they claim it meets safety standards.
Value Assessment
At roughly $3.00 per ounce, it is mid-range for premium toothpaste but offers significant value given the high cost of raw n-HA.
Why Not Alternatives?
Unlike traditional fluoride toothpastes (Crest/Colgate), Boka uses n-HA which is biocompatible and safe if swallowed. It outperforms many 'natural' brands that lack active remineralizing agents like xylitol and hydroxyapatite.
