Clearing and holding are two jobs.
A rinse clears, then leaves. A gel holds, but nothing was cleared. A brush never reaches either. The oil lifts what is living in the pocket. The serum keeps the tissue above it fed once that is done. One product cannot be in both places.
01A brush stops at the gum.
The bristles clean the face of the tooth, then stop where the gum begins.
02A rinse clears, then leaves.
Water-thin. Your saliva takes it away in thirty seconds.
03Nothing reaches the pocket.
The bacteria at the bottom of the pocket between gum and tooth sit there undisturbed.
04Nothing stays at the gum line.
So the tissue there goes back to dry and tight, night after night.What that gap feels like.
In the order most people notice it.Removes what’s there. Supports what’s left. Clearing the pocket does not feed the tissue above it, and a gel cannot clear what is already there. That is why there are two.
One clears it. One holds it.
Two jobs at the same line, and one product cannot do both. Clearing what is living in the pocket is not the same as feeding the tissue above it.
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 lineSaturate · Bind · Hold.
A gel that stays at the gum line instead of running off it. Hyaluronic acid, glycerin and betaine pull water into the tissue and hold it there for up to eight hours, against the thirty seconds a rinse manages.
Holds the lineRemoves what’s there. Supports what’s left.
Every trial, linked in full →Twice a week, once a day.
The serum is ten seconds and happens every night. The oil is seven minutes and happens twice a week. Nothing here asks for a new habit.
- 01Every night , serum.Two pumps at the gum line, last thing. No rinsing.
- 02Twice a week , oil, before you brush.One 15ml spoonful, seven minutes, spit into the bin.
- 03Never both at once.Oil first, brush, then the serum. The serum goes on last.
New to the oil? Start at four minutes and build up.
the gum line.
Two products. Two jobs.
Two jobs at the same line, and one product cannot do both. One clears it, the other holds it.
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 Gum Serum.
A gel that stays on the gum line instead of washing away, drawing water into the tissue and keeping it there.
- Size
- 30ml airless pump
- How often
- Once a day
- Per use
- Two pumps, ten seconds
- Pumps per bottle
- 110
Each kit holds one full bottle of each. The serum outlasts the oil, so you will always have some in hand.
Two formulas. Every ingredient listed.
Eighteen in the oil, eleven in the serum. No proprietary blend, no mystery fragrance, and nothing that burns or stings. 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.
Gum SerumHydratesSodium hyaluronate
Your body already makes it. A single molecule binds up to a thousand times its own weight in water, which is why a small amount keeps the gum line hydrated for eight hours rather than eight minutes.
Gum SerumStays putCellulose gum
Plant fibre, thickened. It is the reason this behaves like a gel instead of a liquid, and the reason it is still where you put it in the morning.
Gum SerumSoothes gumsPanthenol
Pro-vitamin B5. It converts to pantothenic acid on contact with tissue, the form your cells actually use.
The Pulling Oil · eighteen
The Gum Serum · eleven
Highlighted are the ones doing the work. Not in either: alcohol, fluoride, SLS, PEG, chlorhexidine, synthetic antiseptics, dyes.
Honestly told, in three stages.
“Nothing dramatic happens. Things simply stop getting worse.”
- 1Weeks one to twoThe sting you expected never comes.Neither of these burns. If you have been using an antiseptic rinse, the absence of that is the first thing you notice.
- 2Weeks four to eightMornings feel different.Less film, less of that coated feeling, less tightness at the line. This is the part people notice first and mention least.
- 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.

VerifiedThat is the reason I am still doing it. Everything else I tried I quit inside a month.

VerifiedThe serum takes no time at all. The oil is the only one that asks for any, and that is twice a week.

VerifiedAround week three. I kept checking because I did not believe it.

VerifiedSeven minutes is nothing when you are doing something else anyway.

Patricia L. · 6 months in
VerifiedLess of that coated feeling, less tightness at the line. I noticed when I stopped noticing it.

VerifiedSo I am not reordering two things at two different times, which I would have given up on.

Formulated with people who see the damage every day.
“Almost everyone I see clears the line and never feeds what is left.”
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. One clears the pocket, the other holds the tissue above it, and that is what they say.
- Reviewed both formulas before they went to manufacture
- Holds the veto on every gum 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 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 serum keeps the tissue above it fed once that is done. Clearing and holding are two jobs. If you only want one, start with whichever matches what is bothering you.
What order do I use them in?
On oil nights: swish, spit into the bin, brush as normal, then two pumps of serum last. The serum goes on last so nothing washes it off. Every other night it is just the serum.
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.
Seven minutes is a long time?
Most people do it in the shower. And it is twice a week, not daily. Start at four minutes and build up if seven feels like a stretch.
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.
Is it safe with crowns or implants?
Crowns, veneers, bridges, implants, fillings and braces. No staining, no burn, nothing abrasive.
Do I still brush and floss?
Use them alongside brushing and flossing, not instead of. Keep your check-ups.
Can it reverse recession?
Nothing brings back tissue that is gone. What this does is stop feeding the thing that took it, which is a smaller promise and a true one.
