CBD (Cannabidiol)

CBD is found in the cannabis plant. It is a natural chemical compound that does not contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which is the compound in the cannabis plant that causes a mind-altering effect (feeling “high”). CBD also exhibits natural antioxidant activities.

    CBG (Cannabigerol)

    CBG is also found in the cannabis plant and does not contain THC. Much like it’s partner, CBD, this cannabinoid provides a multitude of benefits as well. CBG exhibits natural antioxidant activities, anti-nausea and other beneficial properties for better health.


      Toothpaste Ingredients:


      Full-Spectrum Hemp Extract

      The Science Behind Full-Spectrum Hemp Extract
      Full-spectrum hemp extract contains naturally occurring cannabinoids, including CBD and CBG, that work with your body's endocannabinoid system to support oral health in ways traditional toothpaste ingredients cannot.

      How It Supports Oral Wellness
      Recent dental research published in peer-reviewed journals has demonstrated that CBD exhibits antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and pain-relieving properties particularly effective for periodontal applications. Studies show it can inhibit the growth of oral bacteria associated with plaque and gum disease, reduce gum inflammation and bleeding, and may help prevent bone loss in periodontal disease.

      The Full-Spectrum Advantage
      Unlike isolated CBD, full-spectrum hemp extract contains the complete range of beneficial plant compounds found in hemp. These compounds work together synergistically in what's known as the "entourage effect," enhancing the overall benefits beyond what any single compound could provide alone. Full-spectrum hemp extract is THC-free and non-psychoactive.


      Manuka Honey

      A Natural Oral Health Ingredient
      Manuka honey isn't just any honey. Sourced exclusively from New Zealand's native Mānuka tree, this medical-grade honey has been used for centuries for its remarkable healing properties. Modern science is now confirming what traditional medicine has known all along.

      The Unique Manuka Factor
      What sets Manuka honey apart is its unique antibacterial activity. Unlike regular honey, Manuka honey contains methylglyoxal (MGO), a powerful compound that provides stable, lasting antibacterial protection without the side effects of synthetic antimicrobials.

      Clinically Proven Benefits
      Multiple peer-reviewed studies have demonstrated Manuka honey's effectiveness for oral health. Clinical trials show it reduces plaque buildup as effectively as chlorhexidine mouthwash, without side effects like tooth staining. Research confirms it reduces gingival bleeding and inflammation, and it is effective against oral pathogens including the bacteria that cause tooth decay and gum disease.

      Won't It Cause Cavities?
      Surprisingly, no. Despite containing natural sugars, clinical studies have shown that Manuka honey does not promote tooth decay. Its strong antibacterial properties help prevent cavities by inhibiting the acid-producing bacteria responsible for enamel erosion.

      Hydroxyapatite

      The Mineral Your Teeth Are Made Of
      Hydroxyapatite is the primary mineral that makes up 97% of your tooth enamel and 70% of dentin. When you brush with hydroxyapatite, you're giving your teeth the building blocks they need to repair and strengthen themselves.

      Originally developed by NASA for astronauts experiencing mineral loss in space, hydroxyapatite has been recognized since 1993 as a safe and effective fluoride-free alternative for preventing tooth decay and promoting enamel remineralization.

      How It Strengthens Your Teeth
      Because hydroxyapatite has the same chemical composition as natural tooth enamel, it integrates effectively into your tooth structure. The nanoparticles fill microscopic defects and demineralized areas, essentially rebuilding damaged tooth surfaces from within. Unlike fluoride, which works primarily on the surface, hydroxyapatite provides deeper, more comprehensive remineralization of subsurface enamel layers.


      Fresh Mint

      (Peppermint & Spearmint Essential Oils)

      More Than Just Fresh Breath
      The cooling sensation you experience when brushing with mint isn't just about taste. Peppermint and spearmint essential oils contain powerful natural compounds that actively contribute to your health in scientifically measurable ways such as better digestion, stress relief, immune support, easing tension, and more.

      Peppermint oil contains menthol, providing therapeutic benefits alongside its refreshing flavor. Spearmint oil offers a milder, sweeter profile. Together, they create a comprehensive oral and systemic health solution.

      Natural Antimicrobial Protection
      Recent clinical research confirms that mint essential oils provide antibacterial benefits. Studies show they effectively inhibit oral pathogens responsible for tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath. The antimicrobial compounds penetrate and break down bacterial biofilms before they harden into plaque.

      Proven Clinical Benefits
      Research demonstrates that mint essential oils reduce plaque and gingivitis, improve the oral microbiome by selectively reducing harmful bacteria while preserving beneficial microbes, and combat bad breath at the source by eliminating odor-causing bacteria rather than just masking smells.

      Therapy Cream Additional Ingredients:


      Yerba Mate

      This plant derived ingredient has antioxidant capabilities which aids in moisturizing the skin and improves elasticity and firmness.

      Yerba Mate contains Vitamins A, C, B1, B2. Vitamin A aids in healthy skin cell production, while B1 provides antioxidant properties. B2 repairs tissue and heals wounds. Vitamin C helps heal skin damage (primarily caused by sun damage) and aids in collagen production. Finally, Yerba Mate contains chlorophyll which helps protect the skin against the sun’s harsh rays (the use of sunscreen is still advocated).

      Arnica

      Dating back to the 1500s, Arnica has been used for soothing aching muscles and healing wounds. When used in a topical application such as a cream or gel, Arnica enhances circulation and allows the body’s natural healing powers to kick in. Arnica is an herb that comes from the plant Arnica Montana, a yellow-orange flower that grows in the mountains of Europe and Siberia. It’s also known as wolf’s bane, leopard’s bane, or mountain arnica. Arnica is also used to help soothe muscle aches, heal wounds, and even stop bruising.
