what do we mean by clean toothpaste?

The FDA has not defined the term “natural” and has not established a regulatory definition for this term in cosmetic labeling, so we have established these guidelines in our efforts to remain transparent in our definition of "natural".

Legacy Toothpaste brands commonly contain ingredients that many health-conscious consumers are actively looking to avoid. These legacy toothpaste products often contain artificial flavors, artificial preservatives, artificial colors, artificial sweeteners, and other synthetic ingredients.

Instead of using a long list of artificial/synthetic ingredients, Davids uses ingredients that are Naturally Sourced and Naturally Derived.

our definition of natural

  • ingredients sourced & derived from nature
  • formulas free of artificial: flavors, preservatives & colors
  • free from animal derived ingredients
  • not tested on animals (cruelty free)
  • use of sustainable packaging

Our naturally sourced ingredients are minimally processed or altered after being sourced from nature. An example of this would be our natural mint flavoring. The mint plant is grown on farms, then harvested and natural oils extracted through a steam distillation process. Yes, this requires processing, but the final product is a premium natural mint oil minimally altered from how the oil is found in the mint leaves prior to processing. Another example of a naturally sourced ingredient is calcium carbonate, which is used as a micro abrasive to clean and polish teeth. Our calcium carbonate is primarily made up of natural limestone mined from the earth. Once the limestone is quarried, it is then crushed, screened, separated, milled, and pulverized. Calcium carbonate undergoes an additional process in which the limestone is further purified, so yes, processing is required, but the final product is a limestone material minimally altered from how the material is found in the earth prior to processing.

Other ingredients found in Davids are derived from nature but have gone through more extensive processing to create a higher level of safety or efficacy and have been modified from their original state.  An example of this would be xylitol.  In order for us to avoid the use of artificial sweeteners like saccharine, we use xylitol which is made from birch trees. The birch tree fibers undergo advanced processing which creates a final product of crystalline birch xylitol which looks like sugar (altered from its original state) but is commonly classified as a natural sweetener.   Other ingredients found in Davids that are Naturally Derived include Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda) and Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate (Coconut Derived), and others.

naturally derived

every ingredient in Davids is designed to naturally & effectively remove plaque, whiten teeth, & freshen breath.

what makes Davids so good?

fluoride free

Davids is committed to using only safe ingredients to promote both personal & oral health. We have chosen to not include fluoride in our formulation, due to health concerns surrounding this ingredient. Every toothpaste manufacturer that includes fluoride is required to print the following warning label on their packaging:

"Keep out of reach of Children under 6 years of age.  If more than used for brushing is accidentally swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away."

You wont find this warning label on Davids toothpaste, since our toothpaste is fluoride-free.

no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives

We eliminated the artificial ingredients that are found in most other toothpastes and found safe alternates. The result is a toothpaste that is naturally sweet (not too sweet), naturally flavored, and naturally preserved.  

sulfate free (no sls)

Sulfate based chemicals, most commonly Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), is a chemical commonly found in toothpaste used to produce the foaming. Unfortunately, sulfates are harsh to the environment and your body. Many people experience mouth sores from using toothpaste with sulfates, because of the harshness of this chemical. We have substituted SLS with a more natural ingredient derived from coconut oil (Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate), which is sulfate-free. Davids produces a milder foaming action, and does not burn your mouth like SLS.

cruelty free

Davids does not do animal testing in the development of our products.  We believe all life should be valued and respected.  Davids Toothpaste is a member of Leaping Bunny  (www.leapingbunny.org), which is a coalition of companies dedicated to the promotion of humane animal treatment.

Vegan

Davids products are all Plant & Earth based

made in the USA

not JUST made in the USA... USA origin too (big difference). While talking to suppliers, we discovered that many of the big toothpaste companies buy ingredients that come from overseas (mostly China, Malaysia & India), and mix them in their US factory and stamp "Made in USA" on their package. At Davids, we take a much different approach... we do our best to use only premium ingredients that are farmed, mined, and processed in the USA.... 98% of our ingredients are USA Origin, supporting the sustainability of the USA economy and American jobs. When you use the highest grade premium USA ingredients, the difference is noticeable!
