You may not realize but your teeth are naturally getting less white with age. This is a combination of the things we consume and natural wear and tear. Fortunately there are teeth whitening home kits like Mint Cosmetics Teeth Whitening Kit which can quickly reverse this darkening of your teeth.

The European Council has recently adopted a directive on teeth whitening products which requires that only registered dental practitioners will be permitted to sell teeth whitening products that release or contain between 0.1% and 0.6% hydrogen peroxide. In addition, the first use of the product by a user must be carried out by a dentist, or under their supervision.

This has made many teeth whitening kits illegal to be sold in the EU. The reason is because high doses of hydrogen peroxide can burn the lining of the mouth if it’s not protected. Mint Cosmetics teeth whitening is different.

Mint Cosmetics Ingredients

The primary ingredient in Mint Cosmetics teeth whitening was originally Sodium Bicarbonate which is often found in whitening toothpastes. This has recently been replaced with the much more effective Sodium Perborate using a formula that makes it one of the only whitening kits that is legally allowed to be sold in the whole EU.

Using exactly the same process as Hydrogen Peroxide and Carbamide Peroxide whitening kits, the Sodium Perborate rapidly breaks down to release activated oxygen that enters the dentin layer of the tooth removing stains.

How to use Mint Cosmetics Whitening Kit

Just like other home whitening kits, the first thing you need to do is warm the mouth trays in hot water before placing it on to your teeth and pressing to get the shape. Once cooled the mould of your teeth will remain and you are ready to apply a thin coat of the fast acting whitening gel. Don’t worry if you don’t get this right first time as you can simply re-warm the tray and give it another go.

We also have more detailed instructions on how to use a mouth tray for teeth whitening with Mint Cosmetics and other similar kits.

The teeth whitening gel gets to work quickly so only needs to be in contact with the teeth for about 1-2 hours daily for about two weeks to give a good result.

Disadvantages of the Mint Cosmetics Home Whitening Kit

  • Changes in the law mean that the formula might not be as effective (although development in July 2013 has further improved the product)
  • Costs more than other teeth whitening kits on the market

What does the Mint Cosmetics Kit Contain?

Mint Cosmetics have recently updated their kits. The full teeth whitening kit now includes 4 syringes o Sodium Perborate gel which is enough for around 50 treatments. As well as the gel you get 3 mouth trays for applying the gel plus a case to store them between uses.

This is the most expensive of the Mint kits at £49.99 (approximately $94) while a cheaper version with half the amount of gel costs £37.50.

If you are comparing the Mint teeth whitening kit to similar non-peroxide kits, it’s worth noting the size of the gel dispensers are just 3ml. Others like Botanical White or Zero Peroxide use a larger 10ml dispenser to supply the gel.
