BlanX White Shock Instant White Toothpaste 75ml is a fluoride whitening toothpaste made with ActiluX, a light-activated ingredient that helps remove the stains that make teeth look yellow. It is peroxide free and has a low abrasivity rating, so it suits people who want whiter-looking teeth from a daily toothpaste.

Key Features

ActiluX whitening: ActiluX is a patented ingredient that bonds to the enamel surface and is activated by light to help break down stain molecules.
Peroxide free: The manufacturer states the formula whitens without peroxide.
Low abrasivity: The manufacturer gives the RDA rating of its White Shock and Med toothpastes as less than 55, which it describes as very low abrasivity.
Contains fluoride: Each tube contains sodium monofluorophosphate 0.72%, which provides 950 ppm fluoride.
Blue Formula: The blue-tinted formula is designed to give an immediate whitening effect.

Do I need a special light to use it?

No. According to BlanX, ActiluX recharges whenever it is illuminated with either natural or artificial light. BlanX also sells a separate White Shock Power Led accessory, but it is not needed to use this toothpaste.

How long does the whitening effect last?

BlanX states that the 75ml White Shock toothpaste has a whitening, antibacterial action that lasts for many hours after brushing. ActiluX stays active on the enamel after you rinse.

Is it suitable for children?

BlanX describes the White Shock range as formulated for use by the whole family. For a child who does not yet have permanent teeth, such as a 7-year-old, BlanX recommends asking a dentist first.
