Ingredient Benefits
Redmond Clay: Binds to bacteria, helps neutralize acids in the mouth, as well as aids in polishing and remineralising teeth.
Nano silver: Has powerful antimicrobial properties that promote healthy teeth and gums. Research shows nano silver’s small size can penetrate cells better to target microbes that could compromise oral health. Silver is also proven to act against biofilm buildup.
Real Salt: Bacteria can’t survive in salt (which is why it’s used to preserve meat). These antibacterial properties can benefit the teeth and gums. That’s why salt water mouth rinses are often recommended by dentists.
Xylitol: The plaque-causing bacteria in your mouth typically use glucose for food, but they try to consume xylitol too (even though they are unable to use it as a fuel source). Once absorbed, the xylitol blocks their ability to consume glucose and causes these harmful bacteria to starve.
Tea tree oil: Has antimicrobial properties that can combat oral bacteria and act against biofilms. It also has inflammation-soothing properties that can support healthy teeth and gums.
Menthol(where applicable): Has antimicrobial properties that can combat the bacteria that contribute to plaque. It’s also been shown to relieve oral discomfort and canker sores. We always use natural not synthetic menthol.
Other essential oils (depending on which flavour you have purchased): Essential oils found in various varieties of Earthpaste (like peppermint, spearmint, wintergreen, citrus, and cinnamon oil) also have antimicrobial benefits, contain antioxidants, ease inflammation, and make Earthpaste taste great.
