Namely
Sodium Monofluorophosphate or more simply Sodium Fluorophosphate is an inorganic fluoride salt used in toothpastes and oral hygiene products. It helps prevent cavities. It is used as a replacement for Sodium Fluoride, however, no study today can prove increased effectiveness compared to the latter.
The fluoride concentration should not exceed 1500 ppm (F) in a "cosmetic" type toothpaste. However, this dose can be circumvented if the product is a medicine and is the subject of a marketing authorization (MA), in which case it can only be purchased in pharmacies.

The maximum concentration of sodium fluorophosphate allowed in cosmetics is:
0.15% (in F) or 1500 ppm (F). In case of mixing with other fluorinated compounds authorized by this Annex, the maximum concentration of F remains fixed at 0,15%.
Required statement on package: Contains: Sodium monofluorophosphate
Unless it is indicated on the labeling that they are contraindicated for children (for example, by a standard term "for adults only"), toothpastes with a fluoride concentration between 0.1 and 0 15% must bear the following information:
"Children 6 years of age and under: use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste under adult supervision to minimize ingestion. In case of fluoride intake from other sources, consult a dentist or a doctor »
