Your mouth has two halves.
A brush reaches the tooth. A rinse washes over the top. Neither goes below the line. Gums and teeth fail for different reasons, on different timelines. One product cannot be in both places, and neither of these does the other's work.
01A brush reaches the surface.
The bristles clean the face of the tooth, then stop where the gum begins.
02A rinse washes over the top.
Mouthwash is mostly water. It washes over the gum and drains out in seconds.
03Nothing reaches the pocket.
The bacteria at the bottom of the pocket between gum and tooth sit there undisturbed.
04Nothing puts mineral back.
Whitening, numbing and rinsing all leave enamel exactly as thin as it was.What the two gaps feel like.
In the order most people notice it.One half is not enough. Clearing the pocket does not put mineral back, and putting mineral back does not clear the pocket. That is why there are two.
Below the line. And on the tooth.
Gums and teeth fail for different reasons, on different timelines. Clearing what is living in the pocket is not the same as putting mineral back into a surface that is thinning.
Penetrate · Bind · Extract.
Seven minutes of swishing pushes the oil into the pocket between your gum and tooth. The bacteria there have a fatty outer coat, so they grip the oil and leave with it when you spit. No alcohol, so the good bacteria stay.
Clears the pocketCalm · Seal · Shield.
Ten percent hydroxyapatite, the mineral enamel is made of. Potassium citrate calms sensitivity early, the mineral settles into the channels cold and sweet travel through, and it takes the acid hit before your enamel does.
Rebuilds the toothBelow the gum line, and on the tooth.
Every trial, linked in full →Twice a day, twice a week.
The paste replaces the toothpaste you already use. The oil is the only thing that is new, and it happens twice a week.
- 01Morning and night , paste.Two minutes, pea-sized. Spit, do not rinse.
- 02Twice a week , oil, before you brush.One 15ml spoonful, seven minutes, spit into the bin.
- 03The order , oil first, then brush.Never the other way round. The paste is the last thing on the tooth.
New to the oil? Start at four minutes and build up.
two halves.
Two products. Two jobs.
Gums and teeth fail for different reasons, so neither product does the other's work. That is why there are two.
Step oneThe Halo Pulling Oil.
Stays liquid, so it slips past the gum line, binds to the bacteria there and carries them out on the spit.
- Size
- 120ml
- How often
- Twice a week
- Per swish
- 15ml, seven minutes
- Swishes per bottle
- Eight
Step twoThe Halo Hydro Paste.
Ten percent hydroxyapatite, the mineral enamel is made of. Puts it back and seals the channels underneath.
- Size
- 120g
- How often
- Twice a day
- Per brush
- Pea-sized, two minutes
- Brushes per tube
- About 112
Each kit holds one full bottle and one full tube. The paste outlasts the oil, so you will always have some in hand.
Two formulas. Every ingredient listed.
Eighteen in the oil, seventeen in the paste. No proprietary blend, no mystery fragrance, and nothing that burns. Six of them do the heavy lifting.
Pulling OilStays liquidCoconut MCT
The part of coconut that never goes solid. It slips into the pocket instead of sitting on top, and it is the reason this gets used rather than abandoned in a cupboard.
Pulling OilCalms bleedingTea tree oil
In an Australian dental study, tea tree calmed bleeding, inflamed gums better than chlorhexidine, the prescription rinse.
Pulling OilStrongest of 5Manuka oil
Of five essential oils tested against the bacteria behind gum disease, manuka was the strongest, and it stopped the main one from sticking.
Hydro PasteRebuildsHydroxyapatite 10%
The same mineral your enamel is made of, at ten percent, up from 7.5%. Nano-sized, so it settles into the microscopic channels rather than sitting on top of them.
Hydro PasteCalmsPotassium citrate
Settles the nerve response that makes cold and sweet register as pain. The fast part of the formula, and the reason you feel something in the first weeks.
Hydro PasteStarves bacteriaXylitol
Bacteria take it in expecting food, cannot metabolize it, and stall. It is also what makes the paste mildly sweet without sugar.
The Pulling Oil · eighteen
The Hydro Paste · seventeen
Highlighted are the ones doing the work. Not in either: alcohol, fluoride, SLS, peroxide, PEG, chlorhexidine, synthetic antiseptics, artificial sweeteners, dyes.
Honestly told, in three stages.
“Nothing dramatic happens. Things simply stop getting worse.”
- 1Weeks one to twoThe cold stops landing.The paste works fastest. Potassium citrate settles the nerve response inside the first two or three weeks.
- 2Weeks four to eightMornings feel different.Less film, less of that coated feeling. The oil is doing its work on a slower clock than the paste, and they start to overlap.
- 3Month three onwardYour hygienist says less.Nothing dramatic happens. Things simply stop getting worse, which after years of the opposite is the point.
If a month passes and nothing has changed, use the guarantee. We would rather refund you than have you keep buying something that is not working.
Not whiter. Just calmer.

VerifiedMy gums were the problem I knew about. The cold water thing I had just accepted as normal.

Formulated with people who see the damage every day.
“Almost everyone I see is treating one half and quietly losing the other.”
Most brands want a name on the box. This one wanted the claims cut back until every single one could be defended in front of a colleague. Neither product will regrow a gum or fill a cavity. One clears the pocket, the other puts mineral back into a surface that is thinning, and that is what they say.
- Reviewed both formulas before they went to manufacture
- Holds the veto on every gum and enamel claim we publish
Compensated partner. She reviews the science, not the marketing.
Sixty days. Four steps.
Most guarantees are written to be difficult. This one is not. No ticket number, no queue, no box to repack.
no questions
Give it a month. Or send it back.
If your gums and teeth do not feel the difference, ask for a refund any time within sixty days. All we ask is that you give it a fair month and share a few dated photos along the way.
Fair questions. Straight answers.
Including the ones with an awkward answer.

Contact support →Do I need both?
The oil clears what is living in the pocket below the gum line. The paste puts mineral back into enamel that is thinning. Gums and teeth fail for different reasons. If you only want one, start with whichever matches what is bothering you.
What order do I use them in?
On oil days: swish, spit into the bin, then brush with the paste as normal. Never the other way round , the paste is the last thing on the tooth, and rinsing it off wastes it.
Is the Halo Spoon included?
The kit is the two products. A standard tablespoon is 15ml. If you want the measure the bottle was built around, add the Halo Spoon at checkout.
Why no fluoride?
Fluoride hardens what is already there. Hydroxyapatite puts mineral back. If your dentist wants you on fluoride for a specific reason, follow that.
Why not just use coconut oil?
Standard coconut oil is a lump below 75°F. This one is built on coconut MCT, the part that stays liquid, so it flows on contact. Coconut oil works , the reason people quit is the chewing, not the oil.
Does either kill bacteria?
The oil binds to the film the bacteria live in and leaves with it. The good bacteria stay exactly where they were, which is the point.
Will the paste whiten?
A sealed surface reflects light more evenly, so teeth look a little brighter over time. There is no peroxide in this and it will not lift a deep stain.
Is it safe with crowns or implants?
Crowns, veneers, bridges, implants, fillings and braces. No staining, no burn, nothing abrasive.
Can it reverse recession or fill a cavity?
Nothing brings back tissue that is gone, and no toothpaste fills a hole. What these do is stop feeding what took it and put mineral back where the surface is thinning. Smaller promises, and true ones.
