We brush our teeth every day, so shouldn’t we think about what we’re actually putting in our mouths? Our tooth powder comes with only three ingredients essential to a fresh and clean mouth.
The bentonite clay gently polishes your teeth while adding beneficial minerals such as calcium and potassium, silicon, and magnesium, to your body, and its detoxifying properties allow it to aid in ridding your mouth of harmful bacteria while freshening your breath and healing your gums. Baking soda works as an excellent agent against plaque formation by tea, coffee, tobacco, thus preventing dental decay, cavity formation and gum diseases to a very large extent. It also fights bad breath by balancing the acidic levels of residual food. Peppermint essential oil freshens your breath!
While the toothpowder is safe for kids, it is not suitable for consumption. Do note that it might be either salty or bitter, depending on your taste buds.
Lifespan
4 – 5 months per pax.

Bentonite clay, baking soda and peppermint essential oil.

It isn’t as minty as normal toothpaste and the powder tasted a little salty. (doesn’t have a bad taste surprisingly)
Had to get use to using the power form though.
But I was surprised that it leaves my mouth feeling so incredibly fresh, would highly recommend this product.

A great substitute for ordinary toothpaste. The salty taste was odd at first but I got used to it over subsequent uses. I really liked that it only contains three natural ingredients too!

Much easier option as compared to Lush’s toothy tabs! Just a small jar could last me for a couple of months.

At first, I thought it would taste a little more than funny but surprisingly it just tasted salty and was quite pleasant to use. You only really need a small amount for one tooth brushing session so I foresee that the jar will last me quite a long while. Not only that, I was left with feeling as fresh as ever so will definitely come back for more!

Feeling way less guilty now that my toothpaste is a refillable option.
It takes a while to get used to the taste since it is a natural option and was slightly bitter at first. But after a while, I got used to the taste and the peppermint essential oil really does help!

I used to make my own toothpaste but it had a very short shelf-life. I decided to try this and it has lasted me more than 2 months and I’m still at the top of the bottle. A little goes a long way with this as too much might leave a tingly feel on your tongue. I really love how it leaves my mouth feeling minty! Definitely recommend this if you’re looking for a zero-waste alternative to toothpaste. One thing that can be improved is the packaging- I just wish the bottle had a larger opening! No worries though you can just pour it into another jar/container if you’re like me and prefer to just dip your brush into the powder. Nonetheless, I still like that it’s refillable and packaged in a sustainable way!

I wanted to try this non-chemical alternative to commercial toothpaste. It definitely takes getting used to because it is a powder over a paste. I have to estimate how much powder I am going to use each time. The taste is not a strong as tooth paste but it is salty and minty. So far one bottle has lasted quite a while and I am not half through it yet. Another con is that it is expensive and I recently learnt that using baking soda can strip the teeth of enamel. That does not sound good nor makes this a long term use product.

The taste is okay and I’m so happy that I found this in Singapore. Imagine how many plastic tubes I can save from using normal toothpastes make me thrilled!

Definitely an easy swap in the bathroom. The peppermint smell is amazing. Taste wise, not the best but definitely something you can easily get used to. And because this does not foam up like your commercial toothpaste, you dont have to spend extra water washing the foam off your mouth and brushing the foam taste away. Love love love this. Will definitely refill it again once I run out of it 🙂

Little bit salty and bitter, takes some tries to find a good consistency that works for you but works well!

Earthy taste, a bit minty ig, definitely tastes better than just baking soda and coconut oil which I have used before. It lasts quite a while I guess. However, it does not contain either fluoride or hydroxyapatite, which means that it will be less effective at preventing cavities. Adding at least one of the two would make it better, otherwise, it’s up to you whether you’re willing to take that gamble on your dental health.
