Why does the Mineral Toothpowder taste so much better?
We believe the improved taste (from the previous toothpaste to our new toothpowder) stems from the addition of baking soda.
Baking soda was added to increase alkalinity, and frankly, we were a bit (pleasantly) surprised that the taste improved. As with all of our products, we consider things like taste, color, and texture to be superficial qualities and a byproduct of the carefully chosen ingredients we use. Unlike most personal care companies, these superficial qualities are not our endgame.

California Proposition 65 Warning
Mineral Toothpowder may have trace amounts of naturally occurring heavy metals. Heavy metals are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
[We must provide this warning to legally sell these products to residents of California. The clay we use chemically binds to these naturally occurring heavy metals, preventing their absorption by the body.]
Here is our Prop 65 statement regarding our clay-based products.
