Akamai Mineral Toothpowder helps remineralize teeth in 5 key ways.
All the minerals you need.
Loaded with 72 macro and trace minerals — providing all the minerals needed for remineralization (not just the calcium and phosphorus found in hydroxyapatite). The particle size and nature of the minerals allow them to enter dental tubule openings to support remineralization.
Controls cavity-causing bad bacteria.
Essential oils help target bad bacteria, while clays can trap and clear out bacteria along with the toxins they release, which can contribute to tooth erosion.
Contains no ingredients that inhibit remineralization.
Unlike glycerin, which can coat teeth and block mineral uptake, our formula leaves enamel free to absorb minerals.
Promotes salivation.
Saliva naturally helps remineralize teeth by bathing them in the minerals already present in your body.
Reduces acidity.
A less acidic oral environment helps prevent demineralization.
Directions:
Wet toothbrush. Shake off excess water. Lightly dip into the powder (kids need even less than adults). Brush as usual.
Tips for Kids:
-
Start with a small amount — a little goes a long way.
-
Show kids how to tap the brush if it picks up too much powder.
-
Let them smell the Orange Vanilla to build positive association.
-
Brush together at first so they learn the technique.
-
Keep the jar tightly closed to prevent spills and moisture.
Important:
Ages 2+ recommended, as this version includes essential oil.
As parents, we were frustrated by the state of most kids’ toothpastes. They’re often packed with sugar alcohols, artificial or “natural” flavors, foaming agents, and cosmetic fillers — ingredients that don’t support a child’s developing oral microbiome or natural remineralization processes. Kids get used to candy-like sweetness, and parents are left with few truly natural options.
We wanted something different — a toothpowder made from clean, minimally processed ingredients that work with the body’s natural systems while helping parents build healthy brushing habits early. Something that would:
- Support natural remineralization
- Help maintain a balanced oral microbiome
- Avoid ingredients that interfere with reminerlization
- Kid friendly taste without any fake sweetness
- Make brushing simple, positive, and consistent
To do that, we replaced the strong essential oils in our classic Mineral Toothpowder with organic orange peel powder, vanilla bean powder, and tangerine essential oil — whole, minimally processed ingredients that create a mild Orange Vanilla taste ok with kids while still supporting oral health.
We also created an Essential-Oil-Free Version to give parents an option for children under age 2, since some health professionals recommend avoiding all essential oils for infants and toddlers as a general guideline. While tangerine essential oil is very mild, we wanted to offer a version that contains none at all.
Our goal was simple: give families a clean, natural, effective option that respects how kids’ bodies work — and helps establish good habits that can last a lifetime.
Minimal ingredients, minimal impact.
Made from truly natural, minimally processed ingredients sourced from the earth — not synthesized in labs. No petrochemicals, artificial additives, or “naturally derived” isolates that require heavy industrial processing.
Plastic-free and refillable.
Packaged in a recyclable glass jar with compostable refill pouches, dramatically reducing plastic waste compared to traditional toothpaste tubes.
Regenerative for the body.
Formulated to work with the body’s natural processes — supporting the mouth’s innate ability to maintain balance, promote remineralization, and keep the oral environment healthy without synthetic chemicals that can interfere with these systems.
Regenerative by design.
Whole, unrefined ingredients return safely to the earth and support a low-waste, low-toxicity lifecycle. Every choice — from ingredient selection to packaging — is designed to tread lighter on the planet.

How is it different from regular akamai Mineral Toothpowder?
Our Kids Mineral Toothpowder uses the same powerful base of mineral-rich clays, baking soda, sea salt, and fulvic acid.
However, instead of the classic blend of essential oils (peppermint, Ceylon cinnamon, clove, tea tree, and anise), we added organic orange peel powder, vanilla bean powder, and tangerine essential oil to make it more kid-friendly. As always, these ingredients are minimally processed, truly natural, and support oral health.
We also offer a Kids Essential-Oil-Free Version, made without any essential oils. It’s ideal for children under 2 and anyone sensitive to essential oils, including pregnant or nursing women — and even pets.
How to switch from Kids Toothpaste to Kids Toothpowder
Switching from toothpaste to toothpowder is easy — and kids usually adjust quickly with the right routine.
How to make the transition smooth:
-
Tell your child it will feel “different, but clean and fun.”
-
Start by mixing a tiny amount of powder with a damp toothbrush to create a light paste-like feel.
-
After a few days, use the powder directly.
-
Keep brushing time the same — ideally twice daily.
-
Celebrate the switch: kids respond well to routines that feel “special” or “grown up.”
What makes the adjustment easier:
-
The Orange Vanilla taste from real ingredients is mild and familiar.
-
Toothpowder doesn’t foam, which often makes brushing easier for younger kids.
-
Kids love dipping the brush — it gives them a sense of independence.
-
Let them know that it's kind of like playing with mud!
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, even though when tested, there are heavy metals present.
