What is micro hydroxyapatite?

Micro hydroxyapatite is a natural mineral that makes up most of our teeth and bones, which is why it’s such a safe and effective ingredient in oral care. It forms about 97% of tooth enamel, 70% of dentin, and 60% of bone. Because it so closely matches what our bodies already use, it’s highly biocompatible and works seamlessly with the body.

In toothpaste, micro hydroxyapatite fills in tiny tubules in exposed dentin to support enamel strength, restore lost minerals, and help reduce sensitivity. It does this without disturbing the natural balance of the mouth’s microbiome, making it a gentle but powerful option for maintaining oral health.

The micro hydroxyapatite used in Leaf Toothpaste is sourced from calcium carbonate deposits in France. These deposits are carefully mined and processed with cruelty-free technology to create a 100% natural ingredient. Most of the particles are micro-sized, with a small amount of ultra-fine nanoparticles, and make up about 8% of the product.

By working in harmony with the body’s biology, micro hydroxyapatite is an effective, safe, and ideal support for a strong, healthy smile.
