Akamai Mineral Toothpowder helps remineralize teeth in 5 key ways.
-
All the minerals you need. Loaded with 72 macro and trace minerals you get all the minerals needed for remineralization to occur (not just calcium and phosphorus found in hydroxyapatite). In addition, the particle size and nature of the minerals get into dental tubule openings to remineralize.
-
Controls cavity causing bad bacteria. Essential oils attack bad bacteria, while clays can help trap and clear out bacteria as well as the toxins they release, which can cause tooth erosion.
-
Contains no ingredients that can inhibit remineralization such as glycerin which coats teeth.
-
Promotes salivation. Saliva helps remineralize teeth by washing them with the minerals already in your body.
-
Reduces acidity. An acidic mouth can cause demineralization.
Why we don’t use Hydroxyapatite or nano Hydroxyapatite
-
Most toothpastes marketed as "natural" actually use a synthetic nanoparticle form of Hydroxyapatite called NHap-- and synthetic nanoparticles have not been proven safe in long term studies. (We dig into this issue in our blog Hydroxyapatite for remineralizing teeth — has it been proven safe? It was updated after our careful review of the European Union's SCCS revised "Final Opinion" in Spring of 2023.)
-
The natural form of hydroxyapatite is mostly calcium and phosphorus and is highly processed and may be less bioavailable (absorbable by the body) unless micronized.
-
Our nutrient-dense Mineral Toothpowder is loaded with bioavailable macro & trace minerals to assist in remineralization. It has all the minerals needed for remineralization to occur.
-
With a healthy diet, proper nutrients & oral care routine, teeth will remineralize naturally.
-
Man-made synthetic and naturally derived ingredients are not natural or needed for the body to self heal — in fact they may cause harm.
NOTE: many toothpaste brands that use natural Hydroxyapatite in their formulas link to studies that show the effectiveness of synthetic Nano-hydroxyapatite, not the natural forms. So claims of "natural Hydroxyapatite" being "clinically proven" are misleading.

The amazing benefits of Living Clays.
Our Mineral Toothpowder is made with raw, non-irradiated, therapeutic grade Calcium Montmorillonite Clay (a superior, finer form of calcium bentonite). This “Living Clay” has some amazing benefits and is naturally rich in nutrients and beneficial bacteria
Living Clays are a very special kind of clay that is able to bond to/absorb "the bad guys", eg. heavy metals, bad bacteria, microbes, and toxins, and help safely remove them from our bodies. Since these clays are negatively charged, and "the bad guys" are positively charged, they attract each other. Cool!
Since it is raw, unrefined and non-irradiated, it is also contains beneficial bacteria to support a healthy oral microbiome and mouth. And, it releases a bounty of mineral nutrients that support tooth remineralization.
Most clay you see in natural toothpaste is highly processed and does not offer these multiple benefits. It’s like comparing a highly processed food to a whole food!
FYI - the definition of a Living Clay refers to a class of mineral (crystal) in nature that encompasses all elements science associates with biological life…but more on that later!
How to use
-
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
-
IMPORTANT: To get the best results, set aside any other toothpaste you may have been using. Our Mineral Toothpowder is very carefully balanced to support oral health, a healthy microbiome and remineralization. Even supposedly "natural" toothpastes contain ingredients that may reduce optimal effectiveness. So set aside your old toothpaste and see how much better your teeth and gums are at your next dental cleaning!
-
The longer you leave our remineralizing toothpowder in your mouth, the more nutrients will be absorbed. Instead of rinsing, swish it around for a while before spitting - add more water and/or powder as needed. No need to rinse.
-
Brushing your teeth is a great time to slow down. If you normally rush, try brushing a bit slower and intentionally focusing on areas that might need special attention. Great for your oral health, easy on your bathroom since it also cuts down on toothpaste splatter. Try our Bamboo Toothbrush.
-
Recommended and safe to use with sensitive teeth. In fact, sensitivity may very well reduce over time.
-
Have bad breath? Our Tongue Cleaner is a simple, effective tool that can help.
-
Looking to optimize your oral care routine? Per the advice of Dr. Steven Koral (DMD Harvard) and the team at Boulder Holistic Dentistry: take Fulvic Mineral Complex (to feed your teeth and gums from the inside out). This has been a game changer for us and thousands more.
-
Prefer a paste? Add some of our Oil Pulling Mouthwash, a little at a time, to form a paste to your desired consistency - adding oil is better than water, which will dry out faster in a jar. OR, you can mix in colloidal silver for extra bad bacteria fighting power (or try both).
Here are just a few of the hundreds of endorements we've received for our Mineral Toothpowder...
Dental Professionals
“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
“A fantastic product... the pH, abrasiveness, and the right ratio of trace minerals and essential oils to maximize absorption and promote a healthy mouth."
— Dr. Andrea Mustian, DMD Harvard School of Dental Medicine
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

“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
We couldn’t find pure, clean, effective remineralizing toothpaste, so we made one. Even the so-called “natural” options were loaded with fillers, sweeteners, and questionable ingredients that didn’t support oral health. Frustrated, we went deep, studying what it takes to build strong teeth, support oral health and a thriving microbiome.
We spent years in research and development — and with the help of Dr. Steve Koral (Harvard Dental School, summa cum laude) and other holistic health pioneers, we developed Akamai Mineral Toothpowder— a potent, no-nonsense formula that nourishes, strengthens, and cleans without compromise. No synthetics. No sweeteners. No cheap fillers. Just the essential minerals and natural compounds that matter.
We also recognize that not everyone tolerates essential oils. That’s why we created an essential oil-free version—ideal for those with sensitivities, pregnant or nursing women, young children, and even pets. Same powerful formula, just without essential oils.
Traditional toothpaste relies on foam, flavor, and filler to create the illusion of clean. We built real oral care—a product rooted in science, nature, and common sense. Try it, and you’ll never go back.
PS. We introduced Akamai Mineral Toothpaste — the first of its kind — back in 2017.
We continue to refine and improve it. Go for the original, go to the best. Go with Akamai.
Thanks to all (of you) our customers for your endless support!
How abrasive is your toothpowder?
The RDA is 81 and PCR 182 and CEI (Cleaning Efficiency Index) is 2.64 —rated as "extremely effective" in cleaning stains by an independent 3rd party lab learn more. It is ideally formulated to remove stains while protecting and preserving tooth enamel.
Is it safe to dip my toothbrush in the powder?
Our Mineral Toothpaste Powder (aka Mineral Toothpowder) should not become contaminated, even when sharing. Every ingredient naturally fights bad bacteria - in fact, our Calcium Montmorillonite Clay fights many pathogens (anything with a positive charge). In addition, the high PH (between 9 and 10) is another factor in limiting any type of contamination (pathogens typically can't thrive in a waterless, high PH environment).
Why should I avoid common ingredients like glycerin, foaming agents, guar gum, natural sweeteners and fluoride, common in natural toothpastes?
Some ingredients found in commercial brands and even natural brands can be harmful. Others are unnecessary and provide no real benefits to your oral health. Check out Not So Good Ingredients in Natural Toothpastes and 7 Disturbing Facts About Chemicals in Personal Care Products to learn more.
The other big issue is that most of the natural and commercial brands of toothpaste or toothpowder do not contain natural ingredients to fight bad bacteria and/or help remineralize teeth, which is the whole point of brushing your teeth and effective oral care.
Why do you offer an essential oil-free version?
We created our Essential Oil-Free Mineral Toothpowder to provide a clean, effective option for those who prefer to avoid essential oils. While essential oils offer many benefits, some people are sensitive to them, follow homeopathic protocols, or prefer a milder taste.
This version is ideal for:
✔️ Individuals with essential oil sensitivities
✔️ Pregnant and nursing women
✔️ Young children (many recommend avoiding the use of essential oils for those under age 2)
✔️ Pets (since certain essential oils can be harmful to animals)
It delivers the same powerful remineralization, detoxification, and oral health benefits as our original formula—without essential oils.
It’s all part of our mission of making effective, natural oral care accessible to everyone.
Why did you get rid of the toothpaste?
While toothpaste is pretty convenient, from an environmental standpoint, it's a bit of a disaster — with an estimated 1 billion tubes tossed annually. Plus, one of our goals is to sell products that are concentrated — eliminating fillers (even water) whenever we can.
To continue making a paste, we would have had to compromise the purity of our ingredient deck by adding "industry accepted" preservatives — a line we will not cross.
We will not bend when it comes to adding any suspect ingredients into our products — this includes things like naturally derived/“supposedly benign” preservatives. Taking the water out of the paste removes these concerns since, without it, we remove the possibility of unwanted bacterial growth.
Improving our health, while improving the health of our planet is one of our core values and we believe they co-create each other.

Are there heavy metals in Healing Clay and Mineral Toothpowder? Are they safe (can't be absorbed)? Read more about metals in clay 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 the ingredients we use, 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. It’s 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 many 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.
Natural Clays and MOCRA 2022
FDA Amended Safety Assessment of Naturally Sourced Clays as Used in Cosmetics (regarding organic, naturally occurring heavy metals).
In summary, as a response to the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA), The Expert Panel for Cosmetic Safety assessed the safety of 8 naturally sourced clays are safe in cosmetics, and found no evidence of heavy metals being absorbed, internally or externally, even though when tested, there are heavy metals present.
