Doesn't glycerin inhibit the remineralization process? Shouldn't this be made without it?

The main ingredients in this product are water and glycerin, which you are correct in that glycerin inhibits the remineralization process. I would stay far away from this gimmick and use Uncle Harry’s products, which are 100% natural and nothing short of life changing for healthy teeth and gums.

How does your10% compare to the 100g of the Apagard product. I need an apples to apples comparison, 10% tells me nothing in comparing the two products

So, if I understand your question, you are asking how many grams of n-Ha are in a tube of the Boka Ela Mint toothpaste? Assuming that the 10% number you have is of the total volume, and the tube has 4oz (as listed), then it would be 11.34g of n-Ha per tube. 4oz=113.398g 0.1 x 113.398=11.3398 Not sure where you got the 10% from though, as I can’t find that number anywhere. I also don’t know how large the tube of Apagard with 100g of n-Ha is either (considering that 100g is almost the whole bottle of Boka, so I know their tube has to be significantly larger!), so it may not be a good comparison. What would be more informational is the percentage in the Apagard as compared to the Boka. Also, as the company answered, the size and shape of the n-Ha will also effect the products efficacy.

Why does it have vegetable glycerin? I heard is hard on the enamel.

There is no scientific evidence that glycerin harms the enamel. One doctor, Dr. Judd, claimed that with no evidence, and the internet has run with it. Don’t believe everything you read online! If you can find a scientific peer reviewed study that demonstrates glycerin harms the enamel, let us know!

Can someone explain the sequence? Do you brush, rinse, floss, rinse, then brush again and don't rinse?

According to the ADA, the routine should be: Floss Rinse Brush * Do NOT immediately rinse, nor eat or drink, for at least 30 minutes. You can rinse after that, but the longer the toothpaste stays on your teeth, the better its chemical components are able to meditate the process of remineralization. This is especially true with xylitol and flouride. Some might take issue with that, but chemicals like flouride and xylitol just don't work as well if they're immediately rinsed off.
