What is AP 24 Whitening Fluoride Toothpaste?
AP 24® is Nu Skin's everyday toothpaste line. The Whitening version pairs a fluoride (to help protect teeth and prevent cavities) with gentle polishing ingredients that lift surface stains from things like coffee, tea and red wine. It is a cosmetic whitening toothpaste: it works on the surface of your teeth, rather than changing their natural shade the way professional treatments can.
Who is it for?
It tends to suit people who:
- want a daily toothpaste that also helps keep teeth looking brighter;
- drink a lot of coffee or tea and notice surface staining;
- prefer a whitening paste that avoids strong bleaching agents;
- like a mild vanilla-mint flavour rather than a sharp, hot mint.
It is less suited to anyone wanting a dramatic, several-shades-lighter result — for that, a dentist is the right call.
What's inside, and what does it do?
| Ingredient | What it's there for |
|---|---|
| AP 24® blend (dimethicone with poloxamer surfactants) | Nu Skin's plaque-fighting agent; it coats teeth during brushing and helps reduce plaque build-up, leaving the mouth feeling slicker and fresher for longer. |
| Hydrated silica and aluminium hydroxide | Mild abrasives that polish and smooth teeth to help reduce the appearance of surface stains. Nu Skin states they do so without eroding enamel. |
| Sodium monofluorophosphate | A fluoride that helps prevent cavities. Active ingredient: monofluorophosphate 0.76% (0.15% w/v fluoride ion, roughly 1,500 ppm). |
| Vanilla-mint flavour | A clean, fresh taste that makes the habit easier to stick with. |
Other listed ingredients include water, sorbitol, glycerin, cellulose gum, titanium dioxide and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), a common foaming agent. If you know you react to SLS, check with your dentist first.
How to use it
- Brush with a pea-sized amount on a soft-bristled brush, for two minutes.
- Brush at least twice a day, preferably after each meal, or as directed by your dentist.
- Spit out; do not swallow. Adults and children 6 years and older only. Keep out of reach of children under 6.
Tip: whitening pastes work best as a daily habit rather than a quick fix. Most people judge results over a few weeks of regular brushing.

AP 24 Whitening vs AP 24 Anti-Plaque: which one?
Both are fluoride toothpastes in the AP 24® range and both use the AP 24® plaque-fighting blend. The Whitening version adds the polishing minerals aimed at surface stains and a vanilla-mint flavour. The Anti-Plaque version is the simpler everyday option focused on plaque control. If staining is your main concern, choose Whitening; if not, Anti-Plaque is a sensible daily choice.
Frequently asked questions
Is AP 24 Whitening toothpaste safe for daily use?
It is designed for daily brushing, at least twice a day, by adults and children aged 6 and over. Nu Skin describes the polishing minerals as mild and states they do not erode enamel. If you have sensitive teeth or receding gums, check with your dentist.
Does it contain fluoride?
Yes. It contains sodium monofluorophosphate (0.76%, equal to 0.15% w/v fluoride ion), which helps prevent cavities.
Will it make my teeth whiter?
It helps reduce the appearance of surface stains, so teeth can look brighter. It is not a bleaching product and will not change the natural colour of your teeth. Results vary from person to person.
What does it taste like?
Vanilla mint — milder and slightly sweeter than a typical strong mint paste.
Can children use it?
The label directs use for adults and children 6 years and older. Keep it out of reach of children under 6, and supervise younger children so they spit rather than swallow.
How much does it cost in Australia?
A$20 at Nuveska, with Australia-wide shipping.
Is it genuine Nu Skin?
Yes. Nuveska is an independent reseller of Nu Skin products, and everything we sell is the manufacturer's own product.
