Personal Care Materials

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is the primary mineral component of human tooth enamel and has become one of the most widely studied biomimetic materials in modern oral care. Due to its excellent biocompatibility and close similarity to natural dental mineral, hydroxyapatite is increasingly incorporated into toothpaste formulations, enamel remineralization products, sensitive teeth solutions, and other advanced oral care applications.

Vita Spire offers four hydroxyapatite materials specifically developed for oral care applications. Types I, II, and III are chemically synthesized hydroxyapatite powders with different particle sizes and morphologies, allowing formulators to select the most suitable material for specific performance requirements. Type IV utilizes eggshell-derived calcium as the raw material source, providing a naturally sourced alternative while maintaining the characteristic properties of hydroxyapatite.

Our hydroxyapatite materials are designed to support a variety of oral care applications, including:

• Toothpaste formulations
• Dentin hypersensitivity products
• Enamel remineralization systems
• Cosmetic oral care products
• Oral care research and product development

Produced under an ISO 13485:2016-certified quality management system, Vita Spire hydroxyapatite materials offer consistent purity, controlled particle size and morphology, excellent batch-to-batch reproducibility, and scalable manufacturing capacity.

With multiple HAp grades available for different formulation requirements, Vita Spire supports customers from early-stage material evaluation and product development through commercial-scale supply. Technical documentation, material selection support, and customization options are available to help formulators identify the appropriate hydroxyapatite grade for their specific applications.
