OLIVIE Smile – natural teeth whitening with activated charcoal from desert olive trees

OLIVIE Smile is a simple, clean and effective oral care product for those who want a whiter smile without aggressive chemicals. The powder contains activated charcoal made from desert olive trees that grow under demanding conditions and provides an extremely clean plant material. When you brush lightly with OLIVIE Smile, it helps to lift surface stains from coffee, tea, wine and food, while gently polishing the enamel and supporting a more balanced environment in the oral cavity. The product is certified according to USDA standards, completely free of fluorine, artificial colours, sweeteners, foaming agents and unnecessary additives - only activated charcoal from parts of the olive tree (branches, leaves, pulp and cores). This makes OLIVIE Smile an attractive choice for health- and environmentally conscious users who want a natural way to a brighter smile.

Health benefits and advantages of using OLIVIE Smile
OLIVIE Smile is not a medicine, but an oral care product that can be included as part of good daily dental hygiene. When used regularly along with regular brushing and flossing, it can contribute to the following:

• ✨ Naturally whiter smile - activated charcoal has a high surface area and can bind dyes and discoloration on the surface of the teeth, which gradually gives a brighter appearance to the enamel with regular use

• 🦷 Gentle polishing - the fine powder has a mechanical polishing effect on the surface of the teeth without wearing unnecessarily on the enamel when used with a light hand and a soft toothbrush

• 🌿 Supports good oral hygiene - activated charcoal can bind and reduce particles, coatings and unwanted substances in the mouth, which can contribute to a cleaner feeling and a more balanced oral environment

• 😁 Fresher breath - by adsorbing foul-smelling compounds and food residues, the product can help to make the breath feel fresher after use

• 💧 Mild and suitable for sensitive mouths - the product is free of fluorine, SLS, artificial colourings, sweeteners, perfume and preservatives, and can thus be suitable for people who want the simplest possible formulation

• 🌍 Plant strength from desert olive trees - the raw material comes from olive trees that grow under harsh natural conditions, which often provides a particularly robust and clean plant material and contributes to a more sustainable use of resources

The effects are linked to physical and chemical binding of pigments, particles and organic substances in the mouth (adsorption), and to mechanical polishing of the tooth surface when brushing. OLIVIE Smile does not replace dental check-ups, professional teeth cleaning or medical treatment, but can be a useful supplement in your daily oral care routine.

Top 2 main features and a surprising effect
The two most obvious main functions of OLIVIE Smile are, firstly, natural cosmetic teeth whitening by removing surface stains from food and drink, and secondly, more effective oral care as activated charcoal helps to bind and remove unwanted substances and coatings from the teeth. A lesser-known but interesting effect is that users often report that their teeth feel extra smooth after use, which suggests that the powder can help reduce the feeling of plaque and give a more "freshly cleaned" feeling between regular dental appointments - without the use of harsh chemicals.

Technical details and specifications
OLIVIE Smile has been developed as a clean, simple and easy-to-use product for daily oral care.

Product form
Fine powder of activated charcoal for use on a toothbrush.

Content and raw material source
The powder is based on plant material from olive trees that grow in dry desert areas in Morocco. It utilizes branches, leaves, olive pulp and kernels (olive stone) which are carbonized and activated at high temperature to produce a charcoal with a very large internal surface and high adsorption capacity. The product is certified according to USDA standards and produced without artificial additives.

Declared property
Activated charcoal powder for cosmetic teeth whitening and oral care, without fluoride and without artificial additives.

Use and recommended amount
Wet a clean, soft toothbrush lightly with water. Carefully dip the brush into the powder so that the bristles are covered with a thin layer (a small "knife-tip" powder is usually enough). Brush your teeth with small, circular movements for 1-2 minutes. Avoid brushing too hard, especially near the gum line. Spit out and rinse your mouth thoroughly with water until the black coating is gone. The product can be used alone or together with normal toothpaste (for example by brushing first with OLIVIE Smile and then with normal toothpaste). Many people experience a good effect when used a few times per week, while others like to use it daily - adjust according to your own preferences and the dentist's recommendations.

Packaging and contents
Standard glass or plastic container of approx. 50 g (factory standard), practical for daily use in the bathroom. The container is easy to close and protects the powder from moisture and contamination.

Free for
Fluoride, artificial colors, artificial sweeteners, synthetic foaming agents, parabens, silicone, petroleum derivatives, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), added sugar, gluten, milk, yeast and artificial preservatives.

Storage
Store dry at room temperature, tightly closed and out of reach of children. Avoid getting water directly into the container to preserve the consistency.

Dentist and safety
As with all abrasive or polishing products for teeth, the product should be used with a light hand and a soft brush. People with weakened or severely worn enamel, extensive enamel damage, acid damage or severe gum disease should consult a dentist before introducing new products into their oral care routine.

Reservation
OLIVIE Smile is an oral care and cosmetic product, not a medicine or dietary supplement. It is not intended to replace regular brushing with fluoride toothpaste, professional dental treatment, dental check-ups or other medical/dental treatment. The effect can vary from person to person and depends, among other things, on diet, coffee, tea and wine habits, smoking, general oral hygiene and dental status. People with sensitive gums, enamel damage or ongoing dental treatment should consult a dentist or other qualified healthcare professional before use. Keep out of the reach of children. Avoid small children having access to the product, as the powder is not intended to be swallowed in large quantities. Uno Vita AS does not claim that OLIVIE Smile can prevent or treat disease in the teeth or gums, but describes the product's cosmetic and hygienic role as part of good oral care.
