Unlike many types of toothpaste, Zendium products do not contain the foaming agent sodium lauryl sulfate (SDS or NaDS, where D means dodecyl). The lack of SLS protects the mucous membranes [3] and is believed to reduce the risk of aphthous ulcers. [2] In addition, since Zendium does not contain SLS or similar foaming agents, it can be used together with chlorhexidine. [3] [5]
