What Are ohGiGi Tooth Powders?

ohGiGi® Toothpowder is like your regular toothpaste, but healthier and way better for you and the planet.
As a natural, mineral-rich toothpaste powder alternative, it not only cleans your teeth but nourishes your teeth and gums. Most regular toothpaste contain toxic ingredients, chemicals, fluoride, additives, preservatives, fillers, sugars, sweeteners, and plastic. At ohGiGi® we are super fussy and you'll never find any ingredients in our toothpowders you cannot pronounce! Instead we use ony ingredient that are 100% organic and rich in minerals, pure, and effective like bentonite and kaolin clays blended with pure essential oils, Australian bush botanicals and Ayurvedic herbs to give you a healthier and more sustainable oral care experience.

 

Why Is Regular Toothpaste So Cheap?

When you pick up a tube of regular toothpaste, the low price is often due to the use of inexpensive ingredients. Here’s why:

 

1. Cheap Synthetic Ingredients

Most toothpaste brands keep costs down by using cheaper synthetic additives like fillers, artificial flavors, preservatives, pesticides that are toxic then use sugars and sweeteners to mask the taste of these chemicals. These ingredients are often mass-produced at a low cost, which helps manufacturers maintain low production expenses.

 

2. Synthetic vs. Natural Formulations

Regular toothpastes often rely on artificial ingredients that are made in a lab to achieve effectiveness, enhance flavor, texture, and shelf life. These are typically cheaper to source and use compared to natural ingredients. At ohGiGi®, we prioritize health over cost by choosing high-quality, natural ingredients and flavours that come from real sources. For instance at ohGiGi®, we use real bush botanicals and food ingredients like peppermint gum, strawberry gum, kakadu plum, davidson plum, desert lime, mountain pepperberries, ashwaghanda and licorice root to flavour our toothpowders. This natural approach costs a bit more, but it ensures your oral health and overal health is supported without harmful ingredients.

3. Bulk Production

Mass production techniques further reduce costs for regular toothpaste manufacturers, enabling them to produce large quantities quickly and cheaply., we use real bush botanicals and food ingredients like peppermint gum, strawberry gum, kakadu plum, davidson plum, desert lime, mountain pepperberries, ashwaghanda and licorice root to flavour our toothpowders. This natural approach costs a bit more, but it ensures your oral health and overal health is supported without harmful ingredients.
