What makes Mineraalsool Baikali different from a standard toothpaste? — Natural toothpaste "Mineral Salts of Baikal" 85 grams - Babushka Agafja Natura Siberica.

Many ordinary toothpastes rely mainly on abrasives and foaming agents to remove debris and create a foamy sensation. This certified natural toothpaste takes a slightly different approach: hydrated silica polishes the tooth surface gently, mineral salt and sea salt support the cleansing environment, and zinc citrate is included to help keep breath fresher. The herbal and plant-oil part of the formula—mint, eucalyptus, menthol, sage oil, Kuril bamboo extract, sea buckthorn oil, Siberian pine seed oil and amaranth seed oil—gives the paste a herbal-minty character and a softer feel on gums.

The result is a paste that cleans without the stripped-down, dry feeling that can come from highly foaming or strongly abrasive formulas. It also does not push an aggressive whitening effect, which makes it an alternative for people who find intense whitening pastes too harsh for daily use.

That does not mean it is ineffective. The cleaning action still comes from real mechanical polishing plus the supporting ingredients, but the overall experience is designed to be smoother and more botanical. If you are switching from a paste with very strong mint or heavy foaming, you may notice a different mouthfeel at first.
