Hydrogen Peroxide
The actual whitening agent! Penetrates enamel and breaks down stain molecules. Whitens teeth from within, not just surface polishing.
Strip adhesion and structure
PVP (Otherwise known as Polyvinylpyrrolidone)
A film-forming polymer that helps the strips stick to teeth and keeps the hydrogen peroxide evenly distributed across the tooth surface
Ethylcellulose
A structural polymer that gives the strip flexibility and strength
Sodium Polyacrylate
An absorbent polymer that holds moisture so the strip doesn’t dry out
Comfort
Glycerin
Prevents strip from drying out and reduces irritation
Water
You know water. Allows ingredients to dissolve and activate properly
