Kaolin Clay (Kaolinite) – Quality kaolin clay is a silica rich remedy. Our ancestors deemed that this dirt worked brilliantly for dental care. Clays essentially function as a magnet; when clay is mixed with saliva, molecules are electrically activated and pull out micro-particles of toxins and impurities. It gently and effectively exfoliates without being harsh on enamel.
Coconut MCT Powder (Cocos nucifera) – This powdered lipid serves as a lubricant in this polish for sensitive teeth, and it also adds nutrients. MCT powder is a dried, powdered form of Medium-Chain Triglycerides. Organic, unrefined coconut naturally contains both Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) and Long Chain Triglycerides (LCTs). The MCT, including caproic, caprylic, and capric acids, are extracted to create a concentrated oil with all the beneficial compounds of coconut oil. It takes about 20 tablespoons of ordinary coconut oil to make one tablespoon of a coconut oil based MCT oil. MCT oil abounds with beneficial nutrients.
Baking Soda (sodium bicarbonate) – Teeth thrive when they are bathed in a sea of sweet saliva, and baking soda buffers and neutralizes food acids. In addition to being an effective cleaning polish, baking soda is gentle. It has significantly lower abrasiveness than the cleaning agents of chalk and silica that are used in commercial toothpastes, and the baking soda’s natural alkalinity neutralizes bacterial acidity.
Calcium from Lithothamnium calcareum – The quality calcium in our powder polish is 100% certified organic and made from the marine plant, red algae, that grows around the North West coast of Iceland. This special marine plant spends its five-year life span absorbing minerals from the Atlantic waters and contains 34% elemental calcium and 72 other trace minerals. Mature plants naturally settle on the sea bed where they are sustainably harvested and taken ashore to be rinsed, dried, and powderized. Nothing else is added. This is contaminant-free, clean-sourced vegan calcium that is not from limestone, chalk, animal bones, coral, shell, nor dairy. It is harvested in Iceland under strict ISO 9001-2000 certification. It is organic, kosher, Halal Certified, and GRAS.
Magnesium (Magnesium hydroxide) – Mighty Magnesium is naturally marine-sourced from the clean, mineral-rich seawater off the Irish Atlantic coast. It is created when calcium oxide reacts to the magnesium in the seawater, whi and crumbled to a fine, high-grade magnesium hydroxide powder. This form of magnesium is highly soluble and maximizes a multi-mineral matrix of 74 pure plant-source and trace minerals that work synergistically to boost bioavailability.
Sea Salt (Sodium Chloride) – Oceanic salt is an alkaline ally for our oral ecology as it contains the same concentration of minerals as seawater. It is plentiful in minerals essential to intracellular communication: magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, and trace minerals.
Probiotics (L.plantarum, B. bifidum and B. longum) – Boost the body’s beneficial bacterial-bank account by polishing it up with probiotics. These probiotic strains have an established shelf life of two years without refrigeration, and they are vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free.
Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) – Vital vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble nutrient known to be a best buddy for calcium, together, they work in partnership to balance wellbeing.
Peppermint (Mentha piperita) – Peppermint’s cool breezy taste gives you long-lasting fresh breath. Our peppermint is a genuine distillation of the fresh leaves and comes from a fourth generation family of distillers in France. The peppermint in commercial toothpaste is artificial menthol and only offers flavor. Real peppermint is a potent and pleasant friend for oral care. It also inhibits the bacteria that cause bad breath.
Spearmint (Mentha spicata) – Sprightly spearmint is peppermint’s softer, more understated, cousin. Fresh, fragrant spearmint soothes the senses with whispers of minty magnificence! It has been offered throughout history to treat all manner of ailments, including indigestion, headaches, and respiratory infections. The ancient Greeks chose spearmint to treat infections and scent their bath water, while medieval doctors prescribed the herb to freshen breath, whiten teeth, and soothe sore, swollen gums. Native Americans used spearmint to increase appetites and bolster oral care. Spearmint is a powerful antibacterial agent; in a 2001 study conducted by H. Imai, spearmint effectively inhibited the growth of different bacterium, including MRSA and E. coli.
