How does this tooth powder whiten teeth without using peroxide?

BEAUTY VISAGE Altai White Clay Whitening 5 in 1 Tooth Powder achieves a brighter appearance by removing surface buildup rather than altering the natural shade of your teeth through chemical bleaching. The formula avoids peroxide-style agents, making it a suitable option for those who prefer non-bleaching whitening cosmetics.

The whitening effect is driven by a combination of gentle mechanical and enzymatic cleaning. Blue illite clay and calcium carbonate act as fine mineral particles that help polish the tooth surface. This mechanical action assists in removing plaque from small, hard-to-reach areas and lifts residue that can make teeth look dull over time.

Additionally, the powder contains papain, an enzyme derived from papaya. Papain helps break down protein-based deposits that cling to enamel and contribute to surface staining. This enzymatic action works alongside the mineral polishing to clear away residue from coffee, tea, or smoking, resulting in a cleaner, brighter look without the use of harsh bleaching chemicals.
