The superpowers of clove for healthy teeth & gums

Across cultures and history, clove has been prized for its multiple uses and effectiveness in oral healthcare.
Our Microbiomes : Make Love Not War
Our microbiomes: make love not war
There is an ecosystem of trillions of bacteria, tiny spiders, and fungi living on every human—from our toes to the tops of our heads. That’s billions per square centimeter. While our automatic response may be to grab the nearest bottle of sanitizer or jump in the shower to soap up, we actually need these communities of teeming microorganisms, known as microbiomes.

7 disturbing facts about chemicals in personal care products & how to avoid them
Some toxic chemicals are easy to notice – driving by factories or polluted rivers, we can see and smell them. We may have immediate physical reactions to them, like burning in our eyes and throats.

Enjoying the oil pulling

I've really enjoyed the oil pulling - the flavor and ingredients are great. I feel like it's helping me to improve my overall mouth health. I'll continue to use it.

Mineral Toothpowder

I've been using Akamai's Mineral Toothpowder for several years and I love it. It leaves my teeth and mouth feeling clean and has none of the toxic chemicals or artificial sweeteners of commercial toothpastes. I can't recommend it enough and happily pass out samples to friends and family.

It is DIFFERENT

If you like your “paste” it’s a possibility you won’t like the powder. It takes a minute to adjust to the difference when brushing. The end flavor is nice, lite mint, but brushing is chalky and like clay. All in all, I’m going for the switch because I want healthy hygiene!
I’ve ordered my refill and a second refill. The floss is very nice! Thick, effective, and leaves a nice minty after taste

Love the toothpaste

I was making my own toothpaste powder and while it worked ok, I was not crazy about the taste of it. Too salty. I found your company and decided to give it a try. I love it!!! Taste is great, thankfully with no salty grit. My teeth and gums are feeling so much better. I no longer have any bleeding gums and I love that this product is organic with no nasty fillers. Thanks for making such a great product.

Mineral tooth powder

This product is amazing. I was unsure about using it or the benefits but wow was I wrong. Everything they claim has been true. I also noticed that I don’t have the normal bad breath when I wake up in the morning is a a plus for me. Truely an amazing product. Would definitely recommend to everyone trying to steer from store tooth paste.

The true clean feel

My first brush was great and the rest is history, brushing has never felt better. Teeth feel clean and smooth plus no complaints with gums or sensitivity. The taste is much better when you compare it to poison.

Perfect All in One!

This is really a great 3 in 1 bar. It washes my long hair well and works great as soap and shaving cream. My whole family enjoys the soft scent that it has, even though it is free of fake fragrances and chemicals. I love how pure it is! I'm not sure that you would find anything else out there that is quite as safe for your skin and covers all these jobs.

Toothpaste powder

I am so happy with my toothpaste powder. My teeth feel like I just had my gum-line cleaned at the dentist after use. The powder is so fine that it polishes my teeth unlike any other powder/tablets or toothpaste that I ‘ve ever used. Definitely worth trying!

Mineral tooth powder is amazing!

I was making my own toothpaste, and I wasn't crazy about it. My SIL told me how much she loves this mineral powder, so I tried it. I love it so much that sometimes I brush my teeth 5 times a day. My teeth feel so clean and fresh, and there's an earthiness about the powder that I love. I highly recommend this!
