What's inside

Sodium Fluoride

Ingestion toxicity at high doses, potential skeletal fluorosis with chronic high exposure, irritation with direct contact

Sodium Hydroxide

Skin corrosion, eye damage, respiratory irritation if inhaled as dust or spray, chemical burns, severe irritation

Titanium Dioxide

Potential inhalation toxicity as a respirable dust, possible genotoxicity concerns with nanoparticle forms, classified as a possible carcinogen by inhalation by IARC, ingestion safety debated in some jurisdictions

Sodium Saccharin

Potential carcinogenicity in high doses (animal studies), possible allergic reactions, regulatory scrutiny

Blue 1

Irritation/sensitization potential, regulatory restrictions in some countries
