Bentonite and Kaolin Clay for Oral Health: What They Actually Do
Bentonite and Kaolin are two of the most talked-about clays in natural oral care, and they're both part of FortBite's formula. Here's what actually sets them apart.
Two different clays, two different roles
Bentonite clay is known for its ability to bind to and draw out surface impurities, a property that's led to its use in various natural skin and oral care products. Kaolin, by contrast, is a gentler white clay traditionally valued for polishing and cleansing without being abrasive on enamel.
What the research looks at
Research on kaolinite and periodontal cells, along with general reviews of bentonite clay's properties, has looked at how these natural minerals interact with oral tissue and surface debris.
In FortBite
Both clays are part of FortBite's 11-ingredient formula, included specifically for their complementary cleansing and enamel-supporting roles.
Worth knowing
