The tannins of the ratanhia form a wafer-thin film on the skin of the gums, which has a firming and defensive effect against bacteria. This prevents the gums from receding.
In addition to the extracts of the ratanhia root, there are other herbal extracts: Myrrh, which soothes the oral mucosa, and the refreshing essential oils of peppermint and spearmint.
Weleda Ratanhia toothpaste is equipped with a natural, mineral cleaning body made of calcium carbonate (the finest whiting chalk). It cleans the teeth particularly gently but thoroughly.
