100 Years Of German Oral Science. One Obsession: Your Gums.

Most toothpaste is built to clean teeth. LACALUT® was built in 1925 to treat the gums — because that is where almost every serious oral health problem actually begins. Three generations of German pharmacists, dentists and chemists have spent a century refining one formula philosophy: don't mask the symptom, treat the gumline.

The Story Behind 100 Years Of LACALUT®

The heritage, the science, and the obsession behind all of it — in 90 seconds.

One Hundred Years, One Obsession

  • WHERE IT BEGAN

The Tooth & Gum Powder That Started It All

In the early 1920s the German pharmaceutical house Boehringer Ingelheim began experimenting with aluminium lactate, while dental clinics were trialling astringent aluminium salts against gingivitis. The result reached the market in 1925: the LACALUT® tooth and gum powder — a product built to tighten the gums, not just polish the teeth.

  • FROM POWDER TO RANGE

The First LACALUT® Dental Care Products

Three years after the powder, the first LACALUT® dental care products are introduced. The astringent principle — aluminium lactate at the gumline — becomes the spine of everything the brand has made since.

Dr. Theiss Naturwaren Takes The Reins

After a decade distributing the brand, the German family company Dr. Theiss Naturwaren acquires LACALUT® from Boehringer Ingelheim in 2000. Production moves under its own roof in Homburg, Saarland — where every tube and bottle is still made today.

What Makes LACALUT® Different

Aluminium Lactate

The astringent at the heart of the formula. It tightens and firms the gum tissue — the "LACALUT® Effect" you feel from the very first brush.

Chlorhexidine

The antibacterial dentists reach for. In AKTIV® it works on the bacteria living below the gumline, where an ordinary toothpaste never reaches.

1450 ppm Fluoride

Enamel protection at the strength dentists recommend — hardening the tooth surface exactly where the gum meets the tooth.

Made In Germany

Every tube and bottle is manufactured in Germany to pharmacy standards. Nothing is reformulated, watered down or re-made for export.

CLINICALLY TESTED

Proven With The Universities That Wrote The Science

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! Lacalut® is designed for twice a day use by anyone who wants super tight, healthy gums (most of our customers simply use it because Lacalut® is the most premium, finest toothpaste that money can buy & they love the "Lacalut® Effect")

The famous Lacalut® effect is; ✅ The astringent effect on the mouth & gums that you can feel (the active ingredients closes the pores of the gum, which creates a constricting, tightening, & hardening effect on the gums which result a much firmer gum. ✅ That "Dentist Clean" feeling. Everytime you brush with Lacalut®, it will feel like you've just had a professional clean at a dentist. Your mouth just feels super clean & super fresh for a much longer amount of time.

For bleeding &/or inflammed gums, you will feel Lacalut® working & see results within days (i.e - bleeding &/ or inflammation stops). For periodontitis and gingivitis, it will take a few weeks/ months of brushing twice daily withLacalut®. For the "LACALUT® Effect", you will feel it immediately after every brush (even more so when you accompany Lacalut® Aktiv toothpaste with Lacalut® Aktiv mouthwash.

It's not 1 or 2 ingredients but ALL the ingredients working together that makes LACALUT® effective. The main active ingredients in LACALUT® is ALUMINIUM LACTATE, SODIUM FLUORIDE & CHLORHEXIDINE GLUCONATE (in their funely tuned doses). Here is the list of ingredients in LACALUT® Aktiv. WATER, HYDRATED SILICA, HYDROGENATED STARCH HYDROSYLATE, POLOXAMER 188, FLAVOUR, SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE, HYETELLOSE, ALUMINIUM LACTATE, SODIUM MYRISTYL SULFATE, SODIUM FLUORIDE, TITANIUM DIOXIDE, MENTHOL, SACCHARIN SODIUM, SODIUM CETYL SULFATE, CHLORHEXIDINE GLUCONATE, SODIUM HYDROXIDE. Contains: SODIUM FLUORIDE 0.32% (EQUIVALENT TO 1450PPM FLUORIDE)

Established in 1925, LACALUT® has a 100+ year history specialising in Gum-Repair oral health products. Over this time, the Lacalut R&D team has worked with multiple respected universities in Germany and Europe to clinically test, prove and continuously make improvements to the LACALUT® range. Some of these universities include; Charité University Berlin, GermanyDermatest Medical Research, Asia University of Freiburg, GermanyUniversity of Trieste, ItalyUniversity of Saarland, Germany Across Barriers Drug Profiling, Germany Derma Tronnier Research Institute, GermanyComenius University Bratislava, SlovakiaHelmholtz Gemeinschaft (largest scientific research organization in Germany)A recent study with a 6-month clinical trial published in the journal of clinicalperiodontology found that LACALUT® showed a 38% reduction in gingivitis compared to toothpaste that did not have Lacalut's active ingredients. This study provides credible evidence for the effectiveness of LACALUT® toothpaste with many active ingredients such as Clorhexidine and Aluminium Lactate along with its high fluoride content.

Yes, Lacalut® is gentle and suitable for individuals with sensitive teeth &/or gums.  However, for toothpaste specifically made to address sensitive teeth - We recommend Lacalut® Flora which has the same gum repairing qualities but with added ingredients to address this problem
