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

Is the label compostable?

Yes. The films and labels of our refills are certified ASTM 6400 and EIN 13432 for home compost.

How long does it take to break down in someone's compost (backyard)?

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.

What if I don’t have a compost pile in the yard or compost service?

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!

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 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.

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, natural bacteria-fighting properties 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

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

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.

Mineral Toothpowder

I was skeptical at first but after using this for a few months, I feel my teeth and gums are in much better shape. It was hard switching because being used to the minty feeling after brushing with a fluoride brand. I like this and just ordered a 12-month supply. Wish it were a little more minty though
