About
A bioactive calcium-phosphate-silicate ceramic used in enamel-repair toothpastes. Fluoride-free remineralisation.
Calcium chlorophosphosilicate is a bioactive glass-style ceramic (related to NovaMin) that slowly releases calcium and phosphate ions on contact with saliva, precipitating an apatite-like layer that occludes dentinal tubules and supports enamel remineralisation. It is used in sensitive-teeth and enamel-repair dentifrices. No dedicated CIR/SCCS monograph; EU CosIng accepts it for oral care. Dermal use is not relevant — oral-care-only. Fine-dust inhalation is a manufacturing-hazard consideration, not a consumer one.
