How we scored it

Fully inorganic salt: Na+ and monofluorophosphate (PO3F2-) are simple mineral ions with no organic carbon skeleton → 1.00.
What counts. ISO 16128-2 scores the atoms that remain in the final ingredient. Reagents, solvents, catalysts and protecting groups used during manufacture leave no mass behind and are not counted.

Where it comes from

Manufactured by reacting sodium fluoride with sodium phosphate, both derived from mined mineral sources. Used as the active anticaries ingredient in toothpaste.

In plain English

A mineral salt of sodium, phosphate and fluoride used in toothpaste to help protect tooth enamel from decay. Made from mined phosphate and fluoride minerals.
