Children's primary teeth have thin enamel, and an abrasive that's too hard causes irreversible wear. Nowadays, parents' top concern when choosing kids' toothpaste is whether it's gentle and non-irritating. The kids' toothpaste market grew 7.3% in 2025, and demand for low-abrasion silica keeps climbing.
Zhongqi has been making food-grade silica for 20 years, and our low-abrasion grade specifically for kids' toothpaste has been around a long time — we're extremely strict about purity and safety. Production is in GMP-standard workshops with microbial testing on every batch. Products for children are not something we cut corners on.
We recommend ZLDIO-T115, with an RDA around 80 — gentle, enough for daily cleaning, but won't wear down primary teeth. The particles are ultra-fine, with ≥98% passing a 325-mesh sieve, so there's no gritty feel. Purity is above 98%, with heavy metals and arsenic well below national standards. It also pairs cleanly with fruit flavors and sweeteners without off-notes, offering great formulation compatibility.
Traditional calcium carbonate abrasives have relatively high hardness and certain limitations in children's formulas, while imported gentle silica products come with higher procurement costs. Our kids-specific grade offers strong value, and several domestic maternal-and-child toothpaste brands use it consistently. For selection guidance, see our kids' toothpaste raw material guide on the website.
For baby-care and kids' product lines, low abrasion is the baseline — don't skimp on this raw material.
