Biome Shield is a fresh-mint toothpaste formulated around two natural active ingredients — paeoniflorin and quercetin — selected for published research on the bacteria and inflammation associated with bleeding gums. It is SLS-free, triclosan-free and fluoride-free, and it behaves like ordinary toothpaste: it foams a little, tastes like mint, and leaves your mouth feeling clean.

A clean that works where it matters.

Built around the biology rather than the sensory cues — which is why the ingredients most tubes carry to generate lather simply weren’t needed.

Ingredients with integrity.

Two natural actives, each chosen for published research on exactly this problem — and named on the carton rather than buried in a list.

Peony flowers and paeoniflorin extract
Paeoniflorin1
Paeonia lactiflora

A naturally occurring compound from the root of the peony, and the centre of Professor Rabie's own research into plant-derived actives.

Quercetin, a plant flavonoid
Quercetin2
Plant flavonoid

A flavonoid found widely in fruits and vegetables, and among the more extensively studied natural compounds in the literature.

1Paeoniflorin is a naturally occurring compound from the root of the peony, <em>Paeonia lactiflora</em>, and a focus of Professor Rabie's published research into plant-derived actives. Described as studied, not proven.

2Quercetin is a plant flavonoid found widely in fruits and vegetables; peer-reviewed work has examined its activity against <em>Porphyromonas gingivalis</em> and <em>Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans</em>, species associated with periodontal disease. Studied, not a treatment claim.

Ratings are what respondents reported about their own experience. They are not clinical measurements and describe perception rather than outcome.

Frequently asked questions.

Reasonable questions, answered plainly.

No. Fresh mint, and it behaves like ordinary toothpaste. That was a design requirement rather than an afterthought.

Unopened tubes can be returned within 90 days of delivery, in their original packaging, for a full refund of the product cost. Once a tube has been opened we can’t take it back — toothpaste is a hygiene product.
