Ingredients Breakdown:

Caprylhydroxamic Acid:
This amino acid is derived from coconut oil is a very gentle and mild preservative to help keep our products safe and stable. This wonder ingredient is strong enough to kill bacteria, but doesn’t impact the efficacy of other ingredients, or harm your body in any way.

Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside:
This is a natural surfactant made from vegetable derived fatty acids and glucose. It helps to mix oils into water to create a consistent and even texture.

Carbomer:
Carbomers work their magic by helping suspend an insoluble solid in a liquid. They also stop emulsions from separating into their oil and liquid forms and therefore control the consistency and flow of our whitening pen very nicely. Gem’s carbomers are mostly derived from Acrylic Acid, so they won’t cause allergic reactions or irritation.

Flavour:
Gem use natural Spearmint and Coconut Flavours to give our Whitening Pen a fabulous freshness hit that will make you excited to whiten your teeth each day!

Glycerin:
Gem’s food-grade Glycerin is derived from vegetable oils and is non-GMO. It works as a natural preservative to prevent the ingredients from separating, while also enhancing the natural mint oil flavour.

Glyceryl Caprylate:
This is a natural emollient and preservative that comes from glycerin and plant fatty acids. It is used for its antimicrobial, emollient and hydrating properties and can work as a co-emulsifier. In other words, it can get our spearmint oil and water to mix beautifully, while keeping our products safe and stable.

Hydrogen Peroxide:
Gem use food grade hydrogen peroxide to act as a safe bleaching agent. The peroxide penetrates your tooth’s enamel and lightens surface stains. The level of Hydrogen Peroxide is safe for all, even those with sensitive teeth.

Mentha Viridis (Spearmint) Leaf Oil & Menthol:
These natural ingredients create a minty fresh taste. Not to mention, spearmint is also known to have anti-bacterial properties.

Sodium Citrate:
This little wonder ingredient is derived from Citric acid that is found naturally in citrus fruits and helps to adjust the pH levels. It also helps to keep our products fresher for longer, by neutralising the ions in the formula.

Water:
Gem use pure water to blend ingredients and give our products the right consistency.

Xylitol:
This corn-derived sweetener has anti-bacterial properties, is non-cariogenic and doesn’t ferment in your mouth to feed tooth decaying bacteria. Importantly, this has the effect of reducing plaque formation and inhibiting enamel demineralisation. By starving the cavity-causing bacteria, acidity inside your mouth is neutralised and saliva flow increases to healthy levels.

Gem Products

Gem was founded by Georgia Geminder, after spending years immersed in the beauty industry, through modelling and an obsession with personal care, she took a particular interest in the wellness space, educating herself on microbiome health. Georgia learned about the importance of gut health, microbiomes, natural ingredients, and the power of forming healthy habits.

The more she learned, the more she started questioning the daily-use products that contradict and compromise our health standards. This led to the development of Gem, a toxic-free, probiotic-rich oral care range.

Gem is driven by the mission to disrupt and redefine the future of oral care, by kicking toxic to the curb, and focusing on natural, innovative formulas. Gem offers a natural, detoxifying range that actually works. Their products are free of the bad stuff, like parabens, triclosan and SLS, and full of the good stuff, like probiotics, earth minerals and natural oils.

Georgia believes natural products that actually work, should be available to everyone, and everyone deserves to feel nurtured in their daily rituals.
