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

  1. Tear open refill pack using top perforation.
  2. Pour contents into the jar.
  3. 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

  1. Wet toothbrush.
  2. Shake off excess water.
  3. Dip the top half of your toothbrush in the powder (you don't need much).
  4. Brush gently and mindfully (we like the Bass Method).

Tips

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!

Dental Professionals

Akamai has considered every component of an ideal toothpaste: the pH, abrasiveness, natural antimicrobials, and the ideal ratio of trace minerals and essential oils to maximize absorption and promote a healthy mouth. It is a fantastic product that I would recommend to any of my patients."
— Dr. Andrea Mustian, DMD Harvard School of Dental Medicine

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!
— Shannon Gleichmann RDH, BS

Healthcare Professionals

Thank you, Akamai for creating a toothpaste that is genuinely good for us. Love the product and the thoughtfulness that went into its formulation.
— Will Vanderveer, MD

Press

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

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.

Interesting. ❤️

I’m still assessing… I feel like there is something very good about this product. My teeth DEFINITELY feel clean. Not loving the pasty mess I make in the sink but I just clean it up! I’d like to use this product until my next dental visit to see if there’s any noticeable gum / teeth differences. I do not have issues except a little recession because of age.

Mineral toothpaste

The mineral tooth powder is a game changer. I am a dental hygienist. I recommend it to all my patients. It is a different at first. Then once you get used to it you will never go back to regular tooth paste. My teeth have never so clean.

Cure for Gum Recession

I use the Mineral Toothpowder as my only toothpaste. This has cured my gum recession. I buy the refills regularly and prefer that to having to buy a glass jar each time. Much gratitude to //Akamai.

Love the Mineral Powder & oil pulling

Have been using the tooth powder and oil pulling and my gums and teeth have improved SO MUCH! Highly recommend and I appreciate the customer service from this company. I received a damaged fulvic acid and they were quick to reach out to me and send me a new one. Will definitely be repurchasing their products !

Amazing Product!

Lately I've been all about trying the most natural products to live a more healthier and clean lifestyle. Within just a couple days I could clearly see my teeth whitened, and the feel of them just cleaner overall. I flossed daily and did all the things but never felt like my teeth were 100% clean. I had a lot of tartar and that too is gone. Cannot recommend this enough!

Tooth powder

It's only been a week. I like that it has more flavor than the other I have tried.

Staci A.
So surprised!

I was cautiously optimistic and pleasantly pleased! It only took two brushings to get used to the powder. The mint is subtle and there is nothing chemically about it. My teeth feel so polished and clean. I wear a night guard to prevent grinding - my breath doesn’t smell bad in the mornings anymore! Yay! That’s worth it right there. Buy it. You won’t regret it.

Effective

Toothpaste came very highly recommended. I am getting used to powder vs paste, but I do like it!
