Living Libations – Happy Gums Cleansing Clay Toothpaste

Natural/Organic Ingredients

Virgin Coconut Oil (Cocos nucifera) – This diverse lipid is a caring carrier oil and botanicalbiotic coconspirator that balances oral ecology. This optimal oil soothes the oral tissue and gently removes bacteria that cause bad breath.

Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate) – Teeth thrive when they are bathed in a sea of sweet saliva, and baking soda buffers and neutralizes food acids. In addition to being an effective cleaning polish, baking soda is gentle. It has significantly lower abrasiveness than the cleaning agents of chalk and silica that are used in commercial toothpastes, and the baking soda’s natural alkalinity neutralizes bacterial acidity.

Saponified Olive Oil (Olea europaea) – Our organic saponified Olive oil captures all of the nourishing, moisturizing properties of olive oil while enhancing the oil’s ability to help remove plaque from the teeth. Saponification is a chemical reaction that occurs when the oil is treated with a highly alkaline solution.

Sacred Clay (Pyrophyllite) – Sacred Clay is an incredible detoxifying agent and is said to be the best detoxifying agent of all the clays. Containing silica and nearly 10% electrolyte content, Sacred Clay is packed with free ions that attract toxins. (You will notice that the color of our clay has changed. A new processing method results in a finer, lighter colored clay. This special pyrophyllite clay is 100% naturally occurring from a single deposit near the region of Crater Lake Oregon.)

This rich, vital, supercritical extract is packed with perfect levels of essential fatty acids including omegas 3, 6, 7, and 9.

Cinnamon (Cinnamomum ceylanicum) – Our true Cinnamon Bark essential oil from Madagascar is is a potent plaque cleanser and breath freshener. It is a classic spice, and tastes nice, too!.
