L'ERYTHRITOL
(E968) This is a natural sweetener derived from plants and found in many foods (mushrooms, fruits, cheeses, etc.). Although discovered in 1852, it wasn't until 1990 that it appeared in natural products in Japan.
Today, erythritol is used in more than 60 countries: in beverages, chocolate, candies, and baked goods. Its near-zero calorie content makes it a great choice for zero-calorie diet products.

CALCIUM CARBONATE
(E170) has numerous properties. It is used here as a cleaning and polishing agent.
It is a gentle abrasive, ideal for teeth and other delicate surfaces. It also helps to reduce acidity.
It gives Eat & B-fresh toothpaste a basic pH (pH 8.5 at 25°C), thus neutralizing the acidity produced by bacteria.
(Bacteria produce an acid that damages tooth enamel, promoting the development of cavities.)
Calcium carbonate releases calcium ions and remineralizes tooth enamel.
