Parodontax is a brand name of toothpaste and mouthwash currently owned by Haleon, previously GSK.[1]
History
Parodontax toothpaste was developed in 1937 by German dentist Dr. Focke.[2] The product was originally based on sodium bicarbonate. Consequently, it was obtained by German pharmaceutical company Madaus, which specialised in herbal medicine and which added components that were specifically anti-inflammatory and antibacterial, including extracts of several medicinal plants.
The historic ingredients of the toothpaste contained the following elements: sodium bicarbonate, water, glycerin, cocamidopropyl betaine, alcohol, rhatany (Krameria triandra) root extract, Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea) flower/leaf/stem extract, denatured alcohol, xanthan gum, chamomile (Chamomilla recutita) extract, mhyrr (Commiphora myrrha) extract,
