  • Publication number: 20250000782
    Abstract: This invention outlines a method for creating a xanthone-enriched toothpaste using mangosteen peel and bamboo salt. This involves obtaining and preserving mangosteen peel, extracting xanthones from the peel, and incorporation with bamboo salt into a toothpaste formula. The product is designed for efficient absorption into gum cells during brushing, leveraging xanthones and bamboo salt to penetrate dental biofilm and absorption through oral mucosa, and provides antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. Xanthones are proven to inhibit tooth decay and gum disease causing oral bacteria like Streptococcus mutans and Porphyromonas gingivalis. Mineral-rich bamboo salt adds therapeutic value to the toothpaste. The unique combination in the toothpaste helps target and combat oral health issues by reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines production, inhibiting harmful bacterial activity, and enhancing oral tissue health, with direct delivery to the mouth during brushing.
