Hero Ingredients at Polished London

At Polished London, we believe effective teeth whitening starts with the formulation not gimmicks. Every ingredient in our oral care products is carefully selected to support enamel health, oral balance and visible whitening results, without unnecessary irritation.

Here's a breakdown of the key ingredients in Polished London formulations and how they support a brighter, healthier smile.

PAP PRO - Safe, Effective Whitening

PAP+ (Phthalimidoperoxycaproic acid) is our hero whitening ingredient a peroxide-free alternative that lifts stains without sensitivity. It works by oxidising stain molecules on and within the enamel surface, brightening teeth gently and effectively. Clinically proven to deliver results comparable to peroxide, without the discomfort.

Hydroxyapatite - Enamel Support

Hydroxyapatite is a naturally occurring mineral found in tooth enamel. In oral care, it helps support enamel integrity, smooth the tooth surface and improve the appearance of teeth over time. This makes it a modern, enamel-respecting alternative to traditional fluoride in whitening formulas.

Hyaluronic Acid - Hydration and Comfort

Widely used in skincare for hydration, hyaluronic acid plays a similar role in oral care. It supports hydration in the mouth, reduces dryness during whitening routines and improves overall comfort during and after use. A well-hydrated oral environment supports both gum health and a more comfortable whitening experience.

Prebiotics - Oral Microbiome Balance

Oral health is about more than whitening it's about balance. Our prebiotic ingredients support a healthy oral microbiome, encourage beneficial bacteria and maintain long-term oral comfort. Rather than stripping the mouth, Polished London focuses on supporting the natural oral ecosystem.

Vitamins A, C & E -Gum Health

Vitamins A, C and E are included to support overall oral health alongside whitening. They help support healthy gums, protect against oxidative stress and promote long-term oral wellness. Whitening should work with oral health not compromise it.

Perlite - Gentle Polishing

Perlite is a mild polishing ingredient that helps remove surface stains by gently polishing the enamel surface. It lifts stains caused by food and drink, supporting visible brightness without harsh abrasion. Effective, but enamel-conscious.

Aloe Vera - Comfort and Soothing

Aloe vera is included for its calming and soothing properties. It helps support gum comfort, reduce irritation and balance the whitening experience. Comfort is just as important as results.

The Polished London formulation philosophy

All Polished London formulas are clinically proven, peroxide-free, UK-made and developed with dentists. Our approach is simple: whitening results come from formulation first. Ingredients should respect enamel and comfort. Consistency matters more than intensity.

Effective teeth whitening doesn't rely on a single ingredient or device it's the combination of active ingredients, enamel support and consistent use that delivers real results.
