Q: WHY HAS Sodium Monofluorophosphate REPLACED Sodium Fluoride 0.24%? WHY DOES THIS NEW FORMULATION CONTAIN Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) WHEN THE POSTING STATES IT DOES NOT?
A: Sodium lauryl sulfate is frequently confused with sodium laureth sulfate, but the two are distinct ingredients.
submitted byLaw - 3 years agoA: Thank you for your question. Tom’s of Maine uses two types of fluoride, depending on product formulation and what can and cannot be used with certain ingredients.
