Oral care

Because it is a product you use two or three times a day, every day, for years, and that cumulative exposure is what made us rethink the formula. Several common ingredients in conventional toothpastes are flagged as potential endocrine disruptors—substances capable of interfering with the hormonal system—and the role of fluoride over the long term is a subject of open scientific debate. We have preferred to formulate without it. We explain this in what is really in toothpaste. If you have a history of cavities or specific instructions from your dentist, consult them before switching.

They are substances that interfere with the hormonal system. Some of those flagged are used as preservatives, antibacterials, or vehicles in cosmetics, and oral hygiene is a particular case because the product comes into contact with the oral mucosa. The most well-known case is triclosan, an antibacterial that was used for years in toothpastes and which we do not include. We expand on this in everything you need to know about endocrine disruptors.

Fluoride and iodine are chemically similar elements, and there is research suggesting that sustained exposure to the former could interfere with thyroid function. It is not a closed issue, nor is there a scientific consensus, but it was one of the reasons we decided to formulate without fluoride, given that it is a product used daily throughout one's entire life. We expand on this in fluoride in toothpastes and thyroid health. If you have a diagnosed thyroid condition, discuss it with your doctor.

The powder is used by wetting the toothbrush and dipping it into the jar; it lasts a long time and is more economical per use, and it is available in two scents, SPRING and WINTER. The tablets are chewed before brushing, come in the exact dose, are more practical for traveling, and have four scents: SPRING, SUMMER, AUTUMN, and WINTER. The active ingredients are equivalent. If you are switching from a conventional toothpaste, here we compare the alternatives: alternatives to conventional toothpaste.

This is normal and intentional. The foam in conventional toothpaste comes from SLS, a detergent that provides sensation but not cleaning power, and which is associated with canker sores in prone individuals. Our formulas do not contain it. What cleans is the friction of the brush and the active ingredients, not the foam.

Yes. Our entire dental range is vegan, fluoride-free, paraben-free, and plastic-free, with active ingredients like xylitol and aloe vera, which help maintain the balance of the mouth and soothe the gums. If you notice irritated gums or bleeding when brushing, read your toothpaste could be damaging your gums.

The toothbrush reaches three of the five surfaces of each tooth. The other two are covered by dental floss, and the tongue, which concentrates a good portion of the bacteria in the mouth, calls for a tongue scraper: we explain why in the secret to a healthy mouth. We also have bamboo toothbrushes in various bristle hardnesses and a model for children.

Yes, both the powder toothpastes and the tablets and dental floss. You reuse the original container and replenish only the contents. It is part of our way of understanding cosmetics, which we explain in false myths about natural cosmetics.
