Sesame Seed Extract – Nature’s Gift for Healthy Gums and Teeth
One of nature’s most valuable gifts for maintaining healthy gums and teeth is Japanese sesame seed extract, which Furano has chosen as a key ingredient in both of our mouthwash formulas. In this article, we will explore why we selected this ingredient and uncover the many hidden benefits it offers.
What is Sesame Seed Extract?
Sesame seed extract is obtained through a meticulous extraction process designed to retain its valuable properties. While there are several extraction methods, cold-press extraction is the most widely used because it preserves the sesame seed’s full nutritional value and beneficial compounds.
Sesame seeds are renowned for their exceptional nutritional profile, rich in healthy fatty acids, antioxidants, and compounds that support oral health.
