what does beam smile co. use instead of peroxide?

PAP+. on the ingredient list you'll find it as phthalimidoperoxycaproic acid, PAP for short. it's the brightening ingredient at the heart of beam, and it's how beam lifts the surface stains that coffee, tea, and wine leave behind.

do peroxide free whitening strips work?

beam brightens and lifts surface stains: the ones that settle on the outside of your teeth from coffee, matcha, red wine, and everything else you drink.

why we made ours peroxide free

we wanted a formula that doesn't rely on peroxide to lift surface stains. so the whole formula is built around PAP+ instead.

beam is also a dissolving strip: a soft, thin film you press onto your teeth that dissolves on its own in 10 to 15 minutes. there's nothing to peel off.
