About NUEOS

What is NUEOS?

NUEOS is a UK oral care brand on a mission to bring modern science and sustainable design to your daily routine. We combine the NUEOS Light Bath - a red and blue LED oral device - with a choice of toothpaste and mouthwash tablets types to create a complete, science-backed oral care system that goes well beyond brushing.

What makes NUEOS different from regular toothpaste brands?

Most oral care products were designed decades ago. NUEOS brings together three things that conventional brands don't: LED light therapy (red and blue), tablet-format toothpaste and mouthwash that are plastic-free and precisely dosed, and - in our Postbiotic range - Lactobacillus postbiotic support for a balanced oral environment. It's oral care designed for how the science of oral health has evolved.

What is the NUEOS mission?

To transform the way people care for their mouths - combining light technology, science-backed ingredients, and sustainable design. For thousands of years oral care has barely changed. We think it's time it did.

Are NUEOS products vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes. All NUEOS products are formulated without animal-derived ingredients. We never test on animals and only work with suppliers who uphold the same cruelty-free principles.

Do offers and promotions change?

Yes - our offers, bundle prices, and promotional deals change from time to time. The best way to stay up to date is to check the website or sign up to our emails. Current offers are always shown at the top of the page.

The Starter Kit

What is in the Starter Kit?

The NUEOS Starter Kit - Generation 2 - includes:

  • NUEOS Light Bath device (Generation 2) with its own travel case
  • Two month's toothpaste tablets
  • Two month's mouthwash tablets
  • Two reusable bathroom tins (one for toothpaste, one for mouthwash)
  • Dental floss and Floss reusable tin

Everything you need to begin your new oral care routine. All packaging is recyclable.

What is the 5-step NUEOS routine?
  1. Floss - remove debris from between teeth and along the gumline.
  2. Bathe - chew a toothpaste tablet and move the foam around your mouth. Then use the Light Bath for one minute.
  3. Brush - use your wet toothbrush (manual or electric) with the natural foam already in your mouth. No extra toothpaste needed.
  4. Rinse out the toothpaste - spit thoroughly. Do not swallow.
  5. Wash - chew a mouthwash tablet for a post-hygienist finish. Spit residual. Do not rinse with water afterwards - let it work.
What is different about Generation 2?

Generation 2 of the Starter Kit features an improved Light Bath device with upgraded circuitry and better materials, a dedicated travel case for the Light Bath, and updated packaging. The core routine and product ingredients remain the same. If you have Generation 1 you can continue using it - Generation 2 is an enhancement, not a replacement. Oh and don't forget floss is in the box from the start.

Can I buy the Starter Kit as a one-off without subscribing?

Yes. The Starter Kit can be purchased as a one-off. You are not automatically enrolled in a subscription. After your first order you can choose to subscribe to bi-monthly tablet refills whenever you are ready - there is no pressure to commit upfront.

What are my buying options for the Starter Kit?

You have two options:

  • One-off purchase - buy the Starter Kit once, with no ongoing commitment. You can add a refill subscription later whenever you choose.
  • Subscribe - buy the Starter Kit and set up bi-monthly refills at the same time. Subscribers receive free UK delivery on refill orders.
Which tablet formula comes in the Starter Kit - Original or Postbiotic?

The Starter Kit is available with either Original tablets (fluoride + hydroxyapatite) or Postbiotic tablets (fluoride + hydroxyapatite + Lactobacillus postbiotic). Select your preference when adding to cart.

Do I need the Starter Kit to use NUEOS tablets?

The Starter Kit is the recommended starting point because it includes the Light Bath device, which is central to the NUEOS routine. You can buy toothpaste and mouthwash tablets separately, but to get the full benefit of the system - including the LED light therapy - the Starter Kit is where to begin.

Is delivery included with the Starter Kit?

Yes - UK delivery is free on the Starter Kit.

3-Month Bundle

What is the 3-Month Get-Started Bundle?

The 3-Month Get-Started Bundle is a one-off purchase containing three months' supply of the original NUEOS toothpaste and 2 months supply of mouthwash tablets. It does not include the Light Bath device. It is designed as an accessible way to try the tablets, or to stock up on refills. It does come with the bathroom tins to store your tabs safely.

Does the 3-Month Bundle include the Light Bath?

No. The bundle contains tablets only - toothpaste and mouthwash. If you want the full NUEOS system including the Light Bath device, the Starter Kit is the right place to start.

See the Starter Kit

Is the 3-Month Bundle a subscription?

No. It is a one-off purchase. There is no ongoing commitment. If you decide you would like regular refills, you can set up a subscription separately.

What is the difference between the 3-Month Bundle and the refill packs?

The 3-Month Bundle is a one-off purchase and does not require you to have the Starter Kit first. The 5-piece and 4-piece refill packs are designed for customers who already have the Starter Kit and its tins.

Toothpaste Tablets

What are NUEOS toothpaste tablets?

NUEOS toothpaste tablets are pre-measured, solid toothpaste in tablet form. One tablet = one use. Chew to activate, move the foam around your mouth, then brush with a wet toothbrush. No tube, no waste, no overuse. Plastic-free and travel-friendly.

Why use toothpaste tablets instead of a tube?

Tablets offer several advantages over conventional toothpaste:

  • Pre-measured dose every time - no squeeze, no waste
  • Plastic-free - no tube in landfill
  • TSA/travel-compliant - no liquid restrictions
  • No water in the formula - more concentrated, no need for preservatives
  • Longer shelf life
  • Refillable tin stays in your bathroom; just reorder the tablets
What are the ingredients in the Original toothpaste tablets?

98% of the tablet is made from naturally derived ingredients.

Cellulose Gum, Acacia Senegal Gum, Mentha Piperita Leaf Extract, Sodium Bicarbonate, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Potassium Citrate, Tricalcium Phosphate, Phthalimidoperoxycaproic Acid (PAP), Hydroxyapatite (HAP), Sodium Phytate, Xylitol, Vitamin E, Papain, Silica, Sodium Fluoride.

Free from: SLS, peroxide, parabens, synthetic microplastics. 98%+ naturally derived.

Do the toothpaste tablets contain fluoride?

Yes. NUEOS toothpaste tablets contain 1000 ppm sodium fluoride - the level recommended by dental professionals for adult use. Fluoride works alongside hydroxyapatite (HAp) for dual enamel protection.

What is hydroxyapatite (HAp) and why is it in the tablets?

Hydroxyapatite is a biomimetic mineral structurally identical to the mineral in your tooth enamel. It helps support remineralisation - filling micro-lesions and reinforcing enamel alongside fluoride. Together, fluoride and hydroxyapatite provide dual enamel protection.

Do the tablets have a whitening effect?

Yes. The tablets contain PAP (Phthalimidoperoxycaproic Acid), a peroxide-free whitening agent, plus papain (a papaya-derived enzyme) and silica for gentle surface polishing. The combination is effective at lifting surface stains from coffee, tea, wine, and smoking. They will not alter the intrinsic colour of enamel.

Should I rinse after using the toothpaste tablet?

Yes - spit thoroughly after brushing. Do not swallow. Unlike mouthwash tablets, you do rinse the toothpaste out.

How many tablets do I use per brush?

One tablet = one use. Use twice daily as part of your oral care routine.

Are the toothpaste tablets safe for daily use?

Yes. The tablets are designed for twice-daily use. They are SLS-free, peroxide-free, and free from harsh abrasives.

Can the tablets damage my enamel?

No. The formula is free from peroxide and harsh abrasives. The hydroxyapatite included actively supports enamel health.

Can I travel with the toothpaste tablets?

Yes. Tablets are solid, so they are not subject to liquid restrictions. TSA/airport security compliant.

Are the toothpaste tablets suitable for people with sensitive teeth?

The formula includes potassium citrate, which helps calm nerve sensitivity. The tablets are SLS-free, which many people with sensitive mouths find more comfortable than conventional toothpaste.

What are my buying options for toothpaste tablets?

Toothpaste tablets can be purchased as part of the Starter Kit (one-off or with a subscription), in the 3-Month Bundle, or as part of the 5-piece or 4-piece refill packs. Delivery on individual tablet purchases outside of promotions is calculated at the basket.

Can I use the tablets if I have dental implants or have had recent dental work?

If you have had a recent procedure, check with your dentist first. Established dental implants are generally fine. When in doubt, ask your dental practitioner.

Can children use the toothpaste tablets?

The tablets are formulated for adult use. Children sometimes have different needs - check with your family dentist before use.

Mouthwash Tablets

What are NUEOS mouthwash tablets?

NUEOS mouthwash tablets are concentrated, solid mouthwash in tablet form. One tablet = one rinse. Chew to dissolve, swish around your mouth for 20–30 seconds, then spit. No plastic bottle, no alcohol, no harsh antiseptics.

What are the ingredients in the Original mouthwash tablets?

100% of the tablet is made from naturally derived ingredients.

Xylitol, Isomalt, Calcium Carbonate, Erythritol, Natural Mint Flavor, Sodium Bicarbonate, Guar Gum, Zinc Citrate, Menthol, Hydroxyapatite (HAP), Silicon Dioxide.

Free from: fluoride, alcohol, chlorhexidine, SLS, parabens. 100% naturally derived.

Do the mouthwash tablets contain fluoride, alcohol or chlorhexidine?

No. The mouthwash tablets are free from fluoride, alcohol, and chlorhexidine. They are formulated to support oral balance without harsh antiseptic action.

Should I rinse with water after using the mouthwash tablet?

No - do not rinse with water afterwards. Spit the residual and let the active ingredients continue to work. Wait at least 15 minutes before eating or drinking.

How long after using the mouthwash tablet can I eat or drink?

Wait at least 15 minutes. This is to avoid any impact on the taste of what you consume and to allow the active ingredients to work.

Is the mouthwash tablet safe for daily use?

Yes. The mouthwash tablets are designed for daily use - they are alcohol-free and formulated to work with your oral environment, not strip it.

Why no alcohol in the mouthwash?

Alcohol-based mouthwashes are effective in the short term but can cause dryness, irritation, and disruption to the oral microbiome with repeated daily use. NUEOS mouthwash tablets are alcohol-free by design.

What are my buying options for mouthwash tablets?

Mouthwash tablets can be purchased as part of the Starter Kit, in the 3-Month Bundle, or as part of the 5-piece or 4-piece refill packs. Delivery on individual purchases outside of promotions is calculated at the basket.

Mouthwash Tablets - Postbiotic

What are the Postbiotic mouthwash tablets?

The Postbiotic mouthwash tablets build on the Original formula by adding Lactobacillus postbiotic - helping support a balanced oral environment with every rinse. Alcohol-free, plastic-free, and designed for daily use.

What are the ingredients in the Postbiotic mouthwash tablets?

NUEOS mouthwash postbiotics tabs - 100% naturally derived ingredients and 3 strains of Lactobacillus. 

Xylitol, Silica, Calcium Carbonate, Maltodextrin, Isomalt, Menthol, Flavor (Aroma), Sodium Bicarbonate, Cyamopsis Tetragonolba Gum, Erythritol, Hydroxyapatite, Lactobacillus (LS97), Lactobacillus (LA85), Lactobacillus (LC86), Zinc Citrate, Mentha Piperita Oil, Carvone, Rose Ketones, Limonene, Beta-Caryophyllene, Pinene.

What is the difference between the Original and Postbiotic mouthwash tablets?

Both are alcohol-free, SLS-free, and 100% naturally derived. The Postbiotic variant adds Lactobacillus postbiotic to support a balanced oral microbiome alongside freshness and enamel remineralisation support. It is the more complete daily rinse.

Why postbiotics matter

Is it safe to use Postbiotic mouthwash tablets every day?

Yes - and daily use is recommended. Unlike antiseptic mouthwashes, the postbiotic formula works with your oral biology rather than disrupting it. The benefit is cumulative: consistent daily use supports a better-balanced oral environment over time.
