Zendium
Zendium is a brand of toothpaste marketed in the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Czech Republic, Croatia, Hungary, France, Middle East [1] Germany, Austria, Switzerlandand Scandinavia by Unilever.
History
Zendium was introduced in the Netherlands in 1976, its formula based on the enzyme research of Henk Hoogendoorn.[2]
As of 2007, zendium's market share in Denmark was about 37%.[2]
Ingredients
The active ingredients in Zendium Classic are:[3]
- Enzymes: amyloglucosidase, glucosidase and lactoperoxidase
- Sodium fluoride
- Colostrum
- Abrasive: Hydrated silica
- Surfactant: Steareth-30
Unlike many types of toothpaste, Zendium products do not contain the foaming agent sodium lauryl sulfate (SDS or NaDS, where D means dodecyl). The lack of SLS protects the mucous membranes[3] and is believed to reduce the risk of aphthous ulcers.[2] In addition, since zendium does not contain SLS or similar foaming agents, it can be used together with chlorhexidine.[3][4]
