Unlike many types of toothpaste, Zendium products do not contain the foaming agent sodium lauryl sulfate (SDS or NaDS, where D means dodecyl). The lack of SLS protects the mucous membranes and is believed to reduce the risk of aphthous ulcers. In addition, since Zendium does not contain SLS or similar foaming agents, it can be used together with chlorhexidine.
