Earthpaste is different. Earthpaste delivers all the benefits you expect from a toothpaste without any chemicals or unnatural additives. It’s toothpaste unlike any other you’ve experienced — you’ll see the difference on your brush and feel the difference in your mouth. Earthpaste began because we couldn't find a natural toothpaste we loved for our families. We wanted a toothpaste that was as natural as possible, so we started with hydrated Redmond Clay and added Xylitol, essential oils, and Real Salt. Recently, we made one more awesome addition— the pure, effective cleanser nano silver. And that's it. Earthpaste is amazingly natural toothpaste. Earthpaste's list of ingredients is unique, but the things we left out are just as important. Most brands of toothpaste contain foaming agents like SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate), and chemicals like titanium dioxide to make the paste bright white. Not Earthpaste. It isn't just safe to swallow -- each ingredient in Earthpaste has been used to support healthy systems. Ingredients Redmond Clay: Binds to bacteria, helps neutralize acids in the mouth, as well as aids in polishing and remineralizing teeth. Nano silver: Has powerful antimicrobial properties that promote healthy teeth and gums. Research shows nano silver’s small size can penetrate cells better to target microbes that could compromise oral health. Silver is also proven to act against biofilm buildup. Activated charcoal: Has antimicrobial properties and potentially removes surface stains. A lot of people report a powerful whitening effect from charcoal but there aren’t scientific studies to prove that yet. Our tests on clay toothpaste vs. clay toothpaste with charcoal show they whiten/remove stains about equally. Real Salt: Bacteria can’t survive in salt (which is why it’s used to preserve meat). These antibacterial properties can benefit the teeth and gums. That’s why salt water mouth rinses are often recommended by dentists. Xylitol: The plaque-causing bacteria in your mouth typically use glucose for food, but they try to consume xylitol too (even though they are unable to use it as a fuel source). Once absorbed, the xylitol blocks their ability to consume glucose and causes these harmful bacteria to starve. Menthol: Has antimicrobial properties that can combat the bacteria that contribute to plaque. It’s also been shown to relieve oral discomfort and canker sores. We always use natural not synthetic menthol. Tea tree oil: Has antimicrobial properties that can combat oral bacteria and act against biofilms. It also has inflammation-soothing properties that can support healthy teeth and gums. Other essential oils: Essential oils found in various varieties of Earthpaste (like peppermint, spearmint, wintergreen, citrus, and cinnamon oil) also have antimicrobial benefits, contain antioxidants, ease inflammation, and make Earthpaste taste great.
