Why Redmond Clay™?
Natural Redmond bentonite clay comes from the USA and contains over 60 minerals. It gently cleans, polishes enamel, and is safe even when swallowed. It is used not only in toothpaste but also in cosmetics and detox treatments.
Why Real Salt™?
Real Salt™ sea salt comes from the Jurassic period, mined deep underground in Utah and is free from microplastics. It is rich in trace elements, tones gums, remineralizes teeth, and contributes to their natural whitening.
Ingredients
water, Redmond bentonite clay, preservative: nanosilver solution (<1%), Real Salt sea salt, spearmint essential oil, menthol, tea tree essential oil
Usage
For healthy teeth, it is important to brush them at least twice a day, ideally for two minutes with gentle circular motions from the gums to the teeth.
Do not press unnecessarily – gentle cleaning protects enamel and gums. Apply Earthpaste® to a dry toothbrush and for better care, you can spread a small amount directly onto the gums with your finger.
To complement your daily routine, you can also reach for xylitol chewing gums after meals or try Georganics tooth soap for those who like the feeling of foam.
Key ingredients and their benefits
Redmond Bentonite Clay
The base of the paste is mineral bentonite clay Redmond Clay, which gently cleans and polishes surface stains. The clay also naturally binds toxins and brings trace minerals into the formula.
The overall abrasiveness of the paste is RDA 105 (medium), sufficiently effective yet safe for daily use (PubMed).
Nanosilver
Used in the declared concentration of 2 ppm (0.0002%). In such a low dose, it acts as a natural preservative, so there is no need to use synthetic additives.
Studies show that silver has antimicrobial effects, and it has been safely used in cosmetics and hygiene for decades.
Real Salt™ Sea Salt
Mineral Real Salt™ sea salt Real Salt™ comes from prehistoric deposits in Utah. It contains more than 60 trace elements (calcium, magnesium, potassium, etc.), which can contribute to the natural balance in the mouth.
In the paste, it supports an alkaline pH, creating an environment less favorable for the growth of caries-causing bacteria.
Essential Oils – Spearmint Blend
Spearmint essential oil – brings a mildly sweet herbal flavor. Unlike peppermint, it primarily contains carvone instead of menthol, which explains its milder and sweeter aroma (PubMed).
Menthol – a natural component from mint oils; provides a cooling effect and supports a feeling of long-lasting freshness. Menthol also exhibits a mild local anesthetic effect, which can contribute to comfort during brushing (PubMed).
Tea tree oil – known for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, used in the paste in a safely low concentration. Studies confirm its effect against bacteria associated with dental plaque and gum inflammation (PubMed).
Frequently Asked Questions
▶ Why is it important to remove dental plaque?
Dental plaque is a soft biofilm formed by bacteria, food debris, and saliva. If not regularly removed, the bacteria in it produce acids that erode tooth enamel and lead to cavities.
Untreated plaque gradually mineralizes and turns into tartar. This not only makes cleaning difficult but also promotes gingivitis and can contribute to the development of periodontitis – a serious condition that is now one of the main causes of tooth loss in adults (PubMed, 2017).
Research also shows that chronic gum inflammation and the presence of pathogenic plaque can be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and other systemic issues (Circulation Research, 2020). Therefore, plaque care is not just an aesthetic matter but also an important step for overall health.

Therefore, plaque care is not just an aesthetic matter but also an important step for overall health.
▶ How does Earthpaste® work against plaque?
Earthpaste® combines several natural ingredients that work together against plaque formation:
• Redmond Clay bentonite clay gently polishes the surface of the teeth, binds bacteria and toxins, and mechanically helps reduce biofilm buildup.
• Real Salt™ mineral salt promotes an antibacterial environment and contributes to a higher pH in the mouth, making it harder for caries-causing bacteria to thrive.
• Xylitol (in variants where it is included) reduces acidity and makes it harder for bacteria to adhere to the tooth surface.
Clinical studies show that regular chewing of xylitol gum leads to reduced plaque formation and that xylitol can inhibit biofilm formation of Streptococcus mutans in laboratory conditions (BMC Microbiology, 2020). In clinical practice, it has been confirmed that products containing xylitol reduce the amount of cariogenic bacteria in plaque (Frontiers in Nutrition, 2022).

▶ Does xylitol really help against tooth decay?
Yes. Xylitol is a natural sugar alcohol that bacteria causing tooth decay (e.g., Streptococcus mutans) cannot metabolize. As a result, acid production in plaque decreases, and the environment in the mouth remains less acidic – which limits enamel damage.
Clinical studies show that regular chewing of xylitol gum leads to reduced plaque formation and that xylitol can inhibit biofilm growth of Streptococcus mutans in laboratory conditions (BMC Microbiology, 2020). Further meta-analyses confirm that products containing xylitol can reduce the amount of cariogenic bacteria in plaque and contribute to a lower risk of decay (Frontiers in Nutrition, 2022).
If you want to benefit from xylitol even outside of toothpaste, we recommend xylitol gum. Chewing it after meals supports neutralization of the acidic environment in the mouth and increases saliva production, which is a natural defense against cavities.

▶ Why is the Spearmint variant without xylitol?
The Spearmint variant was intentionally developed without xylitol. The reason is both the safety for pets (xylitol is toxic for dogs and cats) and the preference of some users who want a pure herbal flavor without sweeteners.
Typically, xylitol or another sweetener is added to natural toothpaste to partially mask the taste of mineral components, such as salt or clay.
In the Spearmint version, however, the flavor notes are allowed to fully shine – that is, the fresh, mildly sweet taste of spearmint combined with menthol and tea tree oil.
For those who want Spearmint and also the benefits of xylitol, there are other variants:

▶ Do clay and sea salt really have positive effects on teeth?
Yes. Available research confirms that both bentonite clay and sea salt can play a useful role in oral hygiene:
• Redmond Clay bentonite clay forms the base of the Earthpaste® formula – it is the second ingredient in the composition. Thanks to its high adsorption capacity, it can bind bacteria, toxins, and heavy metals while mechanically cleaning and polishing teeth. Clinical studies show that bentonite mouthwash can reduce the amount of dental biofilm similarly to chlorhexidine.
• Real Salt™ sea salt is present in a smaller amount but still functional. It acts osmotically and alkalizes the environment in the mouth, making it less favorable for bacteria. It also contains more than 60 trace minerals, which can support gum healing and reduce inflammation.
• Clay safety: the quality of the source is crucial. Some freely sold clays have been found to contain traces of lead. Therefore, it is important to use verified and transparent brands like Redmond.
• RDA abrasiveness: Earthpaste® has an RDA value of 105, which according to the American Dental Association (ADA) falls into the safe medium range. This means that the paste effectively removes plaque and stains without excessively wearing down the enamel.

▶ Why does Earthpaste® not contain glycerin?
Glycerin is a commonly used ingredient in regular toothpastes. It acts as a humectant (keeps the paste moist), a binder (ensures consistency), and sometimes as a sweetener. However, it has no remineralizing effect – it is purely a technological ingredient.
You may often encounter the claim that glycerin creates a film on the teeth that supposedly prevents remineralization. This myth was spread primarily by chemist Gerald F. Judd in his book Good Teeth, Birth to Death. His thesis quickly caught on in alternative circles but was never supported by scientific studies.
Modern experts, on the other hand, point out that glycerin is quickly washed off the teeth by saliva, and there is no evidence that it blocks mineral absorption long-term. This is confirmed by, for example, Dr. Mark Burhenne, DDS (Ask the Dentist) and dentists from Knoxville Family Dental.
A practical guideline is the order of ingredients in the composition: ingredients listed at the top are present in the largest amount. If glycerin is among the first three ingredients, you will find a lot of it in the paste, and it may be more noticeable in the mouth. If it is at the end, its amount is minimal, and most people will not notice a difference.
Earthpaste® decided to completely omit glycerin. Not because it is harmful, but because it adheres to the philosophy of a simplest possible formula, where each ingredient brings a real benefit – mechanical cleaning, antibacterial effect, or freshness.

▶ Why does Earthpaste® not contain fluoride?
Fluoride is the most common active ingredient in conventional toothpastes for cavity prevention. It helps remineralize tooth enamel and creates a more resistant mineral fluorapatite, which dissolves less in an acidic environment. Therefore, it is recommended by the American Dental Association or WHO as proven prevention.
On the other hand, excessive fluoride intake can cause fluorosis (white spots on teeth) in children and stomach irritation in sensitive individuals. Therefore, some users seek alternative fluoride-free toothpastes.
Earthpaste® reflects this demand and bases its protective effect on bentonite clay, Real Salt™ sea salt, and essential oils. It cleans mechanically, maintains pH balance, and supports the natural remineralization of teeth.
This approach gives people the choice: either conventional fluoride prevention or a purely natural path – with the understanding that proper hygiene and diet are equally essential for healthy teeth.

▶ Is nanosilver in Earthpaste® safe?
Nanosilver is known for its antimicrobial effects and is used in medicine, hygiene, and food. In Earthpaste®, it acts as a natural preservative – protecting the formula from the proliferation of bacteria, molds, and yeasts.
The paste contains silver at a concentration of 2 ppm (0.0002%), which is many times lower than therapeutic applications in medicine. It serves solely to maintain the stability and purity of the product.
Scientific studies confirm that nanosilver can inhibit the proliferation of microorganisms, and when used topically, it is safely excreted from the body and does not accumulate in tissues (PubMed).
Thanks to this, Earthpaste® is suitable for those seeking minimal composition without synthetic preservatives – the role of protection here is fulfilled by a trace amount of silver.

▶ Why does Earthpaste® not contain foaming agents like SLS?
The myth that toothpaste must significantly foam to clean well is still widespread. In reality, foam does not directly affect plaque removal – it is created only by synthetic foaming agents, most commonly SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate).
SLS is a cheap and widely used ingredient in shampoos and cleaning products. In toothpaste, it creates a feeling of cleanliness, but numerous studies point to its irritating effects. SLS-free pastes lead to fewer occurrences of canker sores and inflammatory changes in the mucosa.
Therefore, Earthpaste® chooses the path of completely without foaming agents. The cleaning effect is ensured by mineral components – bentonite clay and Real Salt™, which mechanically and antibacterially clean teeth.
However, if the feeling of foam has psychological significance for you, we recommend a natural alternative – Georganics tooth soap. Thanks to olive oil, cocoa butter, and essential oils, it creates a gentle natural foam, lasts up to 6 months, and offers a compromise between foaming and clean composition.

▶ How does Earthpaste® differ from toothpastes with hydroxyapatite?
Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is a mineral that naturally forms tooth enamel and bone. Modern scientific studies show that its nano- or microparticles can remineralize weakened enamel and act as an alternative to fluoride (PubMed, 2019).
Earthpaste® chose a different philosophy: instead of adding synthetically produced hydroxyapatite, it relies on bentonite clay and Real Salt™ sea salt. These mechanically clean teeth, support pH balance in the mouth, and provide trace minerals. The result is a simplest possible formula without extra ingredients, which corresponds to the minimalism of the Redmond brand.
However, if you are among the users who want active remineralization with hydroxyapatite, you can opt for Georganics toothpaste with hydroxyapatite. This British brand combines natural composition with the effects of hydroxyapatite and thus represents a different path to strengthening enamel.
Both options – Earthpaste® without hydroxyapatite and Georganics with hydroxyapatite – are full-fledged natural alternatives. The difference lies in whether you prefer a simplest possible formula or a targeted remineralization effect.

American brand that owns several sub-brands such as Real Salt, Earth Powder, Redmond Clay, Earth Paste and others. But one thing they all have in common - they are two high-quality and 100% pure raw materials that Redmond specializes in extracting and processing. It's Redmond clay and Real Salt. These two ingredients form the basis of most of their products and work well on their own, of course. Redmond is mined in the rare high-desert Redmond region (as the brand name refers to) in Utah. These are some of the oldest deposits, making these raw materials uniquely pristine, untouched and unpolluted by modern harmful substances.
