What type of ingredients do you use?Updated 9 months ago

At THE DIRT, we take pride in using only all natural, food-grade, high-quality ingredients in our tooth powder. Our commitment to clean, effective oral care means we carefully select each component for its benefits to your oral health. Here's an overview of the types of ingredients we use:

🦷 Bentonite Clay: This is our base ingredient. It's a natural, gentle abrasive that helps remove plaque and stains without damaging your tooth enamel. Bentonite clay is also rich in minerals that can support tooth remineralization.

Natural Baking Soda: Known for its cleaning and whitening properties, baking soda helps neutralize acids in the mouth and freshen breath.

🌿 Essential Oils: We use a variety of therapeutic-grade essential oils for both flavor and their natural antibacterial properties. These include oils like peppermint, cinnamon, myrrh, tea tree, and clove bud.

🌱 Herbs and Spices: Depending on the flavor, we might include ingredients like matcha green tea powder, cinnamon powder, or nutmeg powder. These add natural flavor and additional health benefits.

🍃 Natural Sweeteners: We use stevia, a plant-based sweetener, in some of our flavors to enhance taste without adding harmful sugars.

💎 Mineral-Rich Ingredients: Components like myrrh gum powder add trace minerals that can support overall oral health.

What we don't use is just as important. Our products are free from:

🚫 Fluoride
🚫 SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate)
🚫 Artificial flavors or colors
🚫 Glycerin
🚫 GMOs
🚫 Gluten, corn, or soy
🚫 Triclosan
🚫 Plastic microbeads

All our ingredients are food-grade, natural, and cruelty-free. We believe in creating products that are not only effective for your oral health but also safe enough to swallow and environmentally friendly. Our goal is to provide you with a natural, potent alternative to traditional toothpaste that supports your body's natural ability to maintain a healthy, bright smile.
