What you put in your mouth can pass directly into your bloodstream. Choose your oral care wisely.
Even “natural” toothpaste and toothpowder brands often use synthetics, sweeteners, and cheap fillers, so be a bit skeptical — check your labels and know every ingredient you are putting in your mouth! This would be a wise place to apply the precautionary principle.
We use the transmucosal effect for good.
Our Mineral Toothpowder was developed with input from holistic dentistry experts and massive independent research. We only use natural ingredients known to be beneficial to both oral health and general wellbeing— and our natural ingredients are minimally processed to retain maximum potency.
Once you try our toothpowder, you won’t go back to the traditional pastes or the powders that focus on superficial qualities such as foaming, sweeteners, flavorings, etc. And are often laden with cheap fillers (gums, glycerin, low-grade clays), synthetic chemicals (fluoride, triclosan, sorbate, propylene glycol, SLS) artificial colors, “flavors” or sweeteners (saccharin, xylitol, sorbitol, etc.), or are overly harsh on your teeth eroding the enamel (charcoal).
Maintaining a balanced microbiome, eliminating bad bacteria and opportunistic organisms while enhancing the natural cleansing and rebuilding processes of the mouth is one of the most effective, yet inexpensive, steps you can take to support your overall health.
How to use
Refill
- Tear open refill pack using top perforation.
- Pour contents into the jar.
- Feel free to compost the refill pack either via home composting or municipal compost services. Don’t compost? Just put in the regular trash.
Note: If needed, before refilling is a time to rinse out and wipe clean your jar. Be sure to dry thoroughly before refilling.
Brush
- Wet toothbrush.
- Shake off excess water.
- Dip the top half of your toothbrush in the powder (you don't need much).
- Brush gently and mindfully (we like the Bass Method).
Tips

- The longer you leave our remineralizing toothpowder in your mouth, the more nutrients will be absorbed. Instead of rinsing, add water to your mouth and swish it around for a while before spitting. No need to rinse.

Q: Is the label compostable?
A: Yes. The films and labels of our refills are certified ASTM 6400 and EIN 13432 for home compost.
Q: How long does it take to break down in someone's compost (backyard)?
A: That depends on the conditions; i.e. temperature, humidity, other organic matter, and the actual effort put forth by the homeowner in working their compost. Both ASTM D6400 (commercial compost) and EIN 13432 (home compost) require the packaging to disintegrate to a certain extent and to a certain particle size within 84 days. Home composting requires disintegration in 120 days.
Q: What if I don’t have a compost pile in the yard or compost service?
A: Dispose of it like you would any other biodegradable material. It’ll break down over time and not leave any plastic residue as typical packaging does. Feel good you aren’t adding more plastic into our environment!

“As a registered dental hygienist, this is my favorite toothpaste. They have packed so many good ingredients into this paste; liposomal Co Q10, trace minerals, a healthy balance of essentials oils in a detoxifying clay base. It leaves my mouth feeling clean & fresh. It's Akamai or nothing at all for me!”

“Thank you, Akamai for creating a toothpaste that is genuinely good for us. Love the product and the thoughtfulness that went into its formulation.”

“If you’re willing to adjust your sense of what toothpaste should taste and feel like, then this natural toothpaste will offer actual health benefits, i.e. remineralization, rather than the mostly cosmetic benefits of conventional toothpaste.” — Treehugger
Are there heavy metals in Healing Clay and Mineral Toothpowder? Are they safe (can't be absorbed)? Read more here.
Do you live in California? Please read the statement below. While we love the idea of Prop 65, we are not fans of how the law was written - when it comes to natural substances, it promotes ignorance vs. knowledge.
As required by the State of California, so that we can legally sell this product to residents of that state, we must put the following language on our site: California Proposition 65 WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
This is because one of our ingredients, Bentonite Clay, can have low levels of heavy metals in it. Sounds scary, right? However, the naturally occurring (organic) heavy metals in clay are molecularly bound to clay particles – meaning they are not bioavailable, and can’t be absorbed.
Clay is powerful stuff. Its positively charged ions bind to heavy metals so that they are contained and expelled rather than absorbed by our bodies. In fact, one of bentonite clay’s therapeutic uses is to consume orally to remove heavy metals from your body – a process called “chelating”.
Prop 65 is a law with good intentions but with major flaws. For example, Prop 65 limits for lead are so low, almost all plant foods (eg. green beans, spinach, avocados, etc.) contain amounts higher than allowed by this law, but they do NOT carry the warning.
Furthermore, eating the USDA recommended 3 – 5 servings of vegetables could expose you to 10X the maximum allowed by Prop 65. (In fact, 1 serving of our toothpaste has less lead it in than 1 serving of many plant foods).
In addition, Prop 65 does a poor job of clearly exempting items like clay where heavy metals are in an organic, bound, non-bioavailable form -- and many are pushing for reforms to Prop 65.
So, remember these 2 important points: 1) Heavy metals in bentonite clay are not bioavailable and cannot be absorbed, 2) bentonite clay helps remove heavy metals from your body.
We believe our toothpaste is 100% safe for ourselves, our family, and you.

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.

This is amazing toothpowder. I was skeptical but now I’m hooked. I’ve been oil pulling and using this toothpowder for months. My teeth are clean and white and not sensitive anymore. Great product!

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!
