Ingredients

Water, bentonite clay, non-GMO xylitol, nano silver solution, sea salt, peppermint essential oil, menthol, tea tree essential oil.

Ingredient Benefits

• Redmond Clay: Binds to bacteria, helps neutralize acids in the mouth, as well as aids in polishing and remineralizing 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.
• Activated charcoal: Has antimicrobial properties and potentially removes surface stains. A lot of people report a powerful whitening effect from charcoal but there aren’t scientific studies to prove that yet. Our tests on clay toothpaste vs. clay toothpaste with charcoal show they whiten/remove stains about equally.
• 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.
• Menthol: 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.
• 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.
• Other essential oils: 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.

What is Nano Silver?

The latest addition to Earthpaste is nano silver. It has well-documented antimicrobial benefits and is safer and more stable than other types of silver. The type of nano silver Redmond uses is:

• Backed by 420 independent, third-party studies.
• Won’t harm probiotics like other forms of silver.
• Isn’t metabolized by the body.
• Is easily excreted from the body without any residual build-up.
