Ingredients Breakdown:

Calcium Carbonate:
Mined from the earth, we use this natural mineral as a mild abrasive to help prevent plaque build-up, remove surface stains and whiten and polish teeth. Unlike abrasives of the past, it offers a gentle clean, without scratching or damaging the tooth’s enamel.

Cellulose Gum:
Derived from the cell walls of plants, Gem use Cellulose Gum as a thickening agent to keep the paste creamy and stop ingredients from separating. This ingredient is regularly used as a food additive and is considered safe for consumption.

Glycerin:
Gem’s food-grade Glycerin is derived from vegetable oils and is non-GMO. It works as a natural preservative to prevent the ingredients from separating, while also enhancing the natural mint oil flavour.

Hydrated Silica:
This natural material is used to remove surface stains and whiten and polish teeth. Gem uses only the highest quality silica with ultra-fine microscopic particles, designed to safely clean and polish the enamel on your teeth (some imported silica has large abrasive particles that can scratch or damage the enamel).

Hydroxyapatite (Omyadent):
Hydroxyapatite is the main mineral our teeth and bones are made of and is a proven, safe alternative to fluoride. It works by repairing and re-mineralising tooth enamel with calcium and phosphorus, which helps teeth to become harder and stronger, while also whitening and smoothening the tooth’s surface.

Maltodextrin:
Naturally derived and made from corn, rice, potato starch or wheat, Maltodextrin is a commonly used, easily-digestible food additive. It can be used to improve the mouth feel of a product, but in our case, it’s simply a minor by-product of the probiotic and only occurs in trace amounts.

Mint Oil & Menthol:
Gem’s powerful peppermint flavour comes from pure peppermint (mentha piperta oil) and mint (mentha arvensis leaf oil) essential oils (both derived from natural mint leaves) and a naturally sourced menthol. Combined, these ingredients provide a clean aftertaste and long-lasting fresh breath.

Oral Probiotic (Lactobacillus Salivarius):
This probiotic is an anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory agent. When we nuke our mouths with chemicals, the balance of good and bad bacteria is thrown off. And bad bacteria is a problem; it can destroy the tooth’s enamel, as well as the dentin layer underneath. The inclusion of Lactobacillus Salivarius prevents the build-up of bad bacteria, encourages the good bacteria and helps to establish a healthy oral microbiome.

Sodium Menthyl Cocoyl Taurate:
This is a sulphate-free, naturally derived alternative to Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS). Derived from coconut, this mild surfactant has very low irritation potential (unlike SLS) and has strong cleansing properties.

Sorbitol:
The sweetener Sorbitol is naturally derived from corn. Not only does it not cause cavities, it can help reduce dental plaque and acids, while also fighting harmful pathogens found in saliva. As a humectant, it also helps to moisten the mouth.

Stevia Rebaudiana Leaf/Stem Extract:
We use this sugar substitute extracted from the leaves of the Stevia Rebaudiana plant, and native to Brazil and Paraguay. As stevia is sugar-free, it does not fuel the plaque bacteria that causes tooth decay. It also helps to remove the bitter notes.

Water:
We use pure water to blend ingredients and give our products the right consistency.

Xylitol:
This corn-derived sweetener has anti-bacterial properties, is non-cariogenic and doesn’t ferment in your mouth to feed tooth decaying bacteria. Importantly, this has the effect of reducing plaque formation and inhibiting enamel demineralisation. By starving the cavity-causing bacteria, acidity inside your mouth is neutralised and saliva flow increases to healthy levels.

Gem Products

Gem was founded by Georgia Geminder, after spending years immersed in the beauty industry, through modelling and an obsession with personal care, she took a particular interest in the wellness space, educating herself on microbiome health. Georgia learned about the importance of gut health, microbiomes, natural ingredients, and the power of forming healthy habits.

The more she learned, the more she started questioning the daily-use products that contradict and compromise our health standards. This led to the development of Gem, a toxic-free, probiotic-rich oral care range.

Gem is driven by the mission to disrupt and redefine the future of oral care, by kicking toxic to the curb, and focusing on natural, innovative formulas. Gem offers a natural, detoxifying range that actually works. Their products are free of the bad stuff, like parabens, triclosan and SLS, and full of the good stuff, like probiotics, earth minerals and natural oils.

Georgia believes natural products that actually work, should be available to everyone, and everyone deserves to feel nurtured in their daily rituals.
