Absolutely. Prevention is key when it comes to oral health, so why not instil healthy habits early. Children’s toothpaste normally consists of a lower level or no fluoride because of the greater risk of potential fluoride toxicity. Given Peg Paste is a natural, fluoride-free formulation, it is safe for junior toothypegs. We recommend children use a pea size amount and brush under adult supervision.
Science shows that Hydroxyapatite helps ease tooth sensitivity by filling in microscopic pathways to the nerves in the teeth. With fewer pathways exposed, the less sensitivity and discomfort you should feel to touch, food and temperature. Remember to always consult your dental professional for oral health advice and before trying new products.
Peg Paste does not contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate or SLS, a common ingredient that acts as a thickener in toothpaste products. SLS can have negative, degenerative effects that can contribute to, or worsen serious oral health issues such as dry mouth, mouth ulcers, mouth irritation and bad breath. Changing to an SLS free toothpaste can make a difference if you’re experiencing these symptoms. Remember to always consult your dentist or dental hygienist for oral health advice and before trying new products.
Hydroxyapatite is a restorative mineral that occurs naturally in teeth and bones. Hydroxyapatite works to repair, remineralise and strengthen the tooth’s outer layer, acting as a buffer to help prevent mineral loss, tooth erosion, tooth sensitivity and plaque.
Prebiotics support oral health by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria, which can help maintain a balanced environment in the mouth. It is important to maintain good oral hygiene so harmful bacteria does not take over potentially leading to bad breath, cavities and disease.
Prebiotics and probiotics can both play roles in supporting oral health, but they work in different ways. Prebiotics are fibers that feed beneficial bacteria in the mouth, helping them grow and maintain a balanced environment. Probiotics, on the other hand, are live beneficial bacteria you can consume in foods or supplements to add to the existing healthy bacteria in your mouth. Prebiotics act as “food” for good bacteria, while probiotics are the actual beneficial bacteria that support a healthy balance in the mouth.
Hydroxyapatite, one of our key ingredients, is scientifically shown to support remineralisation and enamel strengthening when used as part of a regular oral care routine.

We use phenoxyethanol as a preservative to keep our toothpaste safe and free from harmful bacteria and mould. Any product that contains water, like toothpaste, needs a preservative to prevent microbial growth and ensure it stays fresh and effective over time.
Phenoxyethanol is a widely used and well-researched ingredient that is considered safe in the small amounts we use. We carefully follow all safety guidelines and cosmetic regulations to ensure our products are both effective and safe for daily use.
We use nano-hydroxyapatite in our toothpaste and ensure that it fully complies with current SCCS (Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety) and Australian oral care and cosmetic regulations.
We are aware of the European Union’s upcoming ban on nano-materials in cosmetics starting November 2025. The reason for this ban is still unclear, but reports suggest potential risks if nano-hydroxyapatite is used in high concentrations or in sprayable products, where inhalation could be a concern. Since our toothpaste is not a spray and is formulated with concentrations that are within safe guidelines, we remain confident in its safety and effectiveness.
