Good Ingredients
We are here to support you in making the small switches for big changes, because we know you want to feel great! All our products are created to support the three pillars of wellbeing - detox, healing, and thriving. This means sourcing the highest quality local ingredients that are 100% organic, pure and have the natural healing powers to support your body’s natural ecosystem from the inside out.
We love ingredients that are
- 100% Organic or Certified Organic
- 100% Vegan
- Gluten Free
- Cruelty Free
- Ethically Sourced
- Locally Sourced
- Fair Trade
So everything we make is free from
-
SLS (a detergent, foaming agent)
- Triclosan (a pesticide used as an antibacterial and antifungal agent)
- Parabens (hormone disruptors)
- Flouride (a by product of the manufacturing of copper, aluminium and iron that is a cumulative poison)
- Glycerin (leaves a coating on the teeth inhibiting the natural process of remineralization)
- Artificial Flavours and Colours (hormone disruptors)
- Additives and Preservatives (hormone disruptors)
- Sugars and Sweeteners (cause thickening of saliva, which may lead to plaque formation, and used to cover the taste of the other chemicals)
Our ingredients
Australian Bentonite Clay: Bentonite Clay is a natural non-toxic mineral ingredient that is rich in beneficial minerals including calcium, magnesium, silica, sodium, copper, iron and potassium that help to remineralise and strengthen the teeth, gums and mouth. It is negatively charged and swells like a highly porous sponge when mixed with water attracting and binding toxins, heavy metals and impurities in the mouth. It is an effective but gentle cleansing clay that gently scrubs and beautifully polishes the teeth and removes stains.
*certified organic, food grade
Calcium carbonate: Calcium carbonate is a natural mineral ingredient that is used as a mild, gentle abrasive to polish teeth, remove surface stains to whiten teeth and mechanically remove plaque.
*organic, food grade
Sodium Bicarbonate (aluminium free): Sodium bicarbonate is a natural mineral extraction that is also used to gently clean and polish the teeth as well as supporting plaque removal. It is also alkaline with a pH of 8.1 that will help neutralize the acids in the mouth.
*certified organic, food grade, non GMO
Kaolin Clay: Kaolin clay is a natural mineral ingredient high in calcium, silica, zinc, and magnesium that acts as a mild polishing agent which gently whitens and polishes the teeth. It has highly absorbent properties allowing it to effectively detoxify the mouth of oils, secretions and toxins. It also works as a natural preservative keeping our products fresher for longer.

Australian Pink Lake Salt: The pink lake salt we use is a pure, unadulterated salt that is wild harvested locally. It is a concentrated store of tooth nourishing minerals containing 60+ trace minerals including calcium, magnesium and beta carotene. Salt is highly antiseptic, keeping bacteria in check whilst also helping in healing irritated gums.

100% Pure Essential Oils | TGA Approved | Food Grade: We use several 100% pure essential oils to give our tooth powder its flavour. These essential oils act as a natural antiseptic and demonstrate powerful anti inflammatory and antimicrobial properties which helps to freshen the mouth and therefore breath, improve cavities and gum infections. They include: Peppermint, Spearmint, Lemon, Orange, Lime, Clove & Lemon Myrtle.

Australian Bush Botanicals: We use Australian bush botanicals such as Peppermint Gum, Strawberry Gum, Kakadu Plum, Davidson Plum, Desert Lime and Mountain Pepperberry as natural ingredients to flavour and sweeten our toothpowders. Other than it's flavour, these bush botanicals also provide a range of oral health benefits as they are used for their antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties amongst Indigenous Australians.
*organic, food grade
Ayurvedic Herbs: We have added Ashwagandha and Licorice Root to balance the flavour profile of our toothpowders. Ashwagandha has a warm and earthy taste, while licorice root has a sweet taste. These herbs are also known to have medicinal properties and are used traditionally in Ayurvedic medicine as natural remedies and to improve oral health.
