Creating the World’s Best Toothpaste: From Lab to Shelf
The ingredients behind Nura, and the process of creating the best toothpaste in the world.
Give your teeth the world class care they deserve every day.
Give your teeth the world class care they deserve every day.
Developed with world-leading researchers, Nura actively deposits fresh enamel-like particles to rebuild and nourish teeth, for a visibly brighter and stronger smile.
Developed by NASA**. Rebuilds, whitens and protects teeth deep below the surface, with the foundations of enamel.
Free from SLS sulfates, titanium paint, co-polymers, PAP acids or gimmicks.
In testing by the University of Milan, Nura delivered >2x better enamel stiffness than the world's #1 toothpaste brand.
Stops unnecessary enamel wear, protecting the natural strength and beauty of the tooth.
Invest in stronger, healthier teeth – for life.
Nura is your daily commitment to lifelong oral wellness.
Rather than using harsh abrasives to whiten teeth, Nura works in a fundamentally different way, depositing fresh, white Hydroxyapatite onto the enamel surface.
Whilst traditional sensitivity toothpastes use Potassium Nitrate to 'numb' teeth at the nerve, the HAP in Nura forms protective crystal structures inside dentin tubules and over the tooth surface.
Brushing with Nura makes enamel and dentin harder and stronger, repairing teeth deep below the surface. *In testing by the University of Milan, Nura demonstrated 107% better enamel stiffness recovery compared to a leading fluoride toothpaste.
Our commitment to science ensures you get a toothpaste that truly works, without the confusion or unnecessary additives.
The four-step evening teethcare routine, designed to make your teeth love you back.
Spend 2-3 minutes, and apply only a gentle pressure, effectively removing plaque across your teeth.
Gently clean between teeth and around the gum-line.
Rinse with alcohol-free, gentle mouthwash.
Spend 1 minute only, massaging in a small amount of fresh toothpaste. Spit, don’t rinse, and let the toothpaste nourish your teeth overnight.
Professor Andrei Ionescu is a leading researcher of dental science and biomaterials, as well as one of the world-leaders in Hydroxyapatite oral care products. He has published over 100 papers, and frequently presents at global dental conferences.
"As a dentist committed to delivering the best outcomes for my patients, I recommend Nura for both daily care and as essential aftercare following cosmetic and restorative treatments. The formulation contains high-grade active ingredients and robust scientific testing to support it - exactly the standard I look for when treating patients."

Working in collaboration with leading researchers at the University of Milan, Nura applies decades of research into a truly game-changing product. Free from unnecessary additives or pseudoscience, Nura delivers smart oral care with real results.
HAP is a naturally-occurring crystalline material, which makes up >97% of human enamel, and about 70% of dentin.
In the 70s, NASA's quest to combat bone loss in space led to the creation of synthetic HAP, and soon after HAP's benefits in oral care were discovered.
Whilst HAP has been used in a small number of toothpastes previously, it is
rarely included at both the quantity (>10%) and quality (nano + biomimetic
micro) required to be highly effective.
Often referred to as the 'gold standard' of hydroxyapatites, nano-HAP's incredibly small particle size enables it to remineralise and repair teeth deeper into the enamel.
It also enables the HAP to penetrate deep into the tiny holes found in dentin, known as tubules, which are the pathway for cold substances to cause sensitivity. By filling these tubules with rigid crystals, nano-HAP
tackles sensitivity at its cause.
Whilst larger in particle size, the biomimetic micro-HAP used in Nura Mineralising Paste provides its own benefits.
Being 'biomimetic' means the chemical composition and structure more closely resembles the HAP in human enamel, containing additional elements such as Magnesium and Sodium. This makes the HAP more reactive, and as a result, more effectively remineralise the tooth surface.
Combining this highly reactive micro-HAP with nano-HAP creates a powerful, synergistic effect, enhancing teeth's strength, whiteness and integrity.
We meticulously select scientifically proven advanced ingredients to remineralise, strengthen, and protect your teeth. Free from unnecessary additives or pseudoscience, Nura delivers smart oral care with real results.
Nura is suitable for anyone looking for best-in-class teethcare. Nura is designed for use by adults. Choosing Nura is in investment in one's long-term oral health, helping to keep teeth at their best, today and for a lifetime.
Yes, in fact Nura is the perfect 'after care' toothpaste pairing for people who have chosen to undertake cosmetic treatments. The remineralising and anti-sensitivity effect of 12% HAP effectively benefits patients following Peroxide-based whitening. It also helps protect dentin and enamel which may become exposed following veneer, composite or crown prep.
Whilst it can vary, most people will feel a dramatic reduction in sensitivity within 10 days of use.
In short, we are not 'anti-fluoride', but 12% HAP is more effective. Most fluoride-free toothpastes are simply ineffective, and cannot be relied upon for effective remineralisation. Fluoride is good at remineralising enamel and has been the standard for almost a century. Saying this, testing conducted by Nura at the University of Milan demonstrated increased efficacy of its product when formulated without fluoride. This is due to the highly reactive nature of the HAP, which calcifies Fluoride when combined in a single formulation.
This is largely due to the high percentage (12%) of high-quality Hydroxyapatite in Nura's formulation. For reference, most other brands containing nano-HAP, include less than 2% active material. Furthermore, Nura is a specialised company, investing heavily in science and product development.
Yes, Nura is simply swapped in for one's regular toothpaste. It doesn't replace the need for other good components of oral hygiene, including flossing. For enhanced results, we suggest not to rinse with water post-brushing, and to add-in an additional 1-minute, soft, manual brush to the evening routine.
Nura Mineralising Paste was developed and tested in conjunction with the University of Milan. Testing was conducted at the university's Oral Microbiology and Materials Laboratory on human enamel and dentin samples, with remineralisation performance benchmarked against a Fluoride toothpaste from Europe's leading brand.
Yes. Nura contains other active ingredients such as Xylitol and Zinc salts. These help reduce the levels of bad bacteria in the mouth which cause bad breath and gum issues.
Nura’s Mineralising Paste is powered by 12% HAP (Hydroxyapatite), the same mineral that makes up your enamel. It rebuilds and whitens teeth in a fundamentally better way than traditional fluoride toothpaste, as shown in independent testing by the University of Milan. Alongside HAP, it features gentle ingredients that clean effectively, support gum health, and leave your mouth feeling fresh after every brush.
