Quasi-drug salt granule toothpaste in a standing tube — gum-tightening deep clean with mineral salt.
About this product
Japan's most distinctive salt-based medicated toothpaste — KAO's Tsubu Shio (Salt Granule Medicated Toothpaste) uses genuine salt granules as a mild mechanical abrasive alongside certified quasi-drug actives to deliver a uniquely invigorating cleaning experience. The salt granules dissolve during brushing, releasing natural osmotic action that helps firm and stimulate gum tissue while the fine texture lightly polishes enamel surfaces to remove surface staining. The standing tube format makes it easy to dispense the last drop without squeezing from the bottom. This is a distinctly Japanese approach to oral care — the sharp, refreshing mineral taste signals a deep clean and has a loyal following among consumers who find mint-heavy toothpastes overpowering. As a quasi-drug, the formula must meet Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare standards for efficacy. A substantial 180g size for extended household use.
How to use
- Squeeze a pea-to-ribbon sized amount of paste onto a wet toothbrush.
- Begin brushing with gentle circular motions along the gum line — the salt granules will dissolve within the first 20–30 seconds of brushing.
- Brush all tooth surfaces — outer, inner, and biting surfaces — for a minimum of 2 minutes.
- Spit out the paste thoroughly; do not swallow.
- Rinse mouth thoroughly with water; use twice daily for best results.

FAQ
Is this safe for children?
Recommended for adults and children old enough not to swallow — keep out of reach of young children; consult a dentist for use by children under 6.
Will the salt granules scratch enamel?
No — the granules are designed to dissolve quickly; abrasion is similar to standard toothpaste.
Does it contain fluoride?
Yes — sodium monofluorophosphate is the active fluoride compound.
Can it be used with an electric toothbrush?
Yes, fully compatible.
Is the taste very salty?
Mild salt flavour — noticeably different from mint but not unpleasantly strong.
