XEROSTOM is a specialized Spanish oral care brand owned by the Madrid-based company Bio Cosmetics, S.L.. The brand focuses exclusively on products for individuals suffering from xerostomia (dry mouth) and hyposalivation, utilizing worldwide patented technology to stimulate natural salivary function.

Company Profile and Background

Parent Company:
Bio Cosmetics, S.L., founded in Madrid, Spain.

Trademarks:
XEROSTOM is a registered trademark first filed in September 2002 and registered in March 2004.

Core Mission:
To improve the quality of life for patients with dry mouth through a complete line of oral care products designed to hydrate, lubricate, and protect the mouth.

International Distribution:
While it is a Spanish brand, it is distributed internationally through partners such as Oraldent in the UK.

Patented Technology:
SaliActive®

The brand’s primary differentiator is its patented SaliActive® complex. Clinical research, including a study at New York University, demonstrated that the combined use of Xerostom products for one week can increase salivary flow by up to 200%. Key features of this technology include:

Natural Ingredients:
The formula is rich in prebiotics, natural antioxidants, and olive oil to protect the oral microbiome and mucosal barrier.

Irritant-Free:
All products are formulated without alcohol, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), sugar, or acidic agents, which are known to exacerbate dry mouth symptoms.

pH Neutrality:
The products maintain a neutral pH to protect tooth enamel and prevent the development of cavities, which is common in dry mouth sufferers.

Xerostom products are specifically indicated for individuals experiencing dry mouth due to various factors:

Medical Treatments:
Patients undergoing chemotherapy or head and neck radiotherapy.

Systemic Conditions:
Individuals with diabetes, Sjögren’s Syndrome, or autoimmune diseases.
