Sure. I have 1 variety right now.
Ingredients: Calcium Carbonate, Xylitol, Baking Soda, Sea Salt, Kaolin Clay.
The sea salt is Redmond Real Salt Sea Salt that I grind to a smaller size to reduce abrasiveness.
It tastes like salt because I wanted only active ingredients, no flavors added.
It is a powder. I just wet the brush, knock off the excess water, and dip the brush in the powder. Any powder that gets wet sticks so the tin doesn't end up wet unless your brush is dripping. Otherwise brush as normal.
Any specific questions?
Cool. Does it help with remineralizing?
I've used powders before like that, sounds the same. Happy to hear it's xylitol and not some other sweetener (it's actually good for gum health, plus I'm diabetic so I prefer xylitol toothpaste--current brand is NOW Xyli-White, but it still has sorbitol in it--boooo)
I tried Redmond's (as a salt and also in my jerky) and couldn't deal with it because of the grittiness, and most people who I tell this to call me a hater or they don't agree (I have thin enamel and silver amalgams from 40 years ago). So I'd probably not use it, usually. How fine do you grind it? I might be up to try a sample and send you a padded envelope and stamp to pay for postage.
The powers that be say I can't say it does anything other than clean without a giant study on my finished formula.
If you search for research on calcium carbonate and xylitol you'll find more reasons than abrasion and cleaning why they were included for sure.
I spent about 1.5 hours with a muddle and the salt for this batch to get it down to a fine powder even though I started with Redmond's fine grade. That isn't multiple batches, just grinding the same salt all that time. I'm all about proof of work but if this scales at all I'll be looking for another way to get the goal size.
Rather than eyeballing future batches the salt will be run through a 200 mesh sieve for repeatability. At 200 mesh maximum particle size the relative dental abrasion for the finished product should be around 30, well below the 80 limit recommended for daily use.
You sound just like me... proof of work is important, I'm always explaining the work going into my product too, because I do a lot of my own research and testing/blending/perfecting flavors, etc.
😎 👍
I started because I wanted it many years ago and it is what I use on my teeth today.
It wasn't until I found bitcoin and nostr that I thought there might be a big enough community that wanted the same thing to try selling.
If everyone thinks I'm crazy and no one buys I guess I'm stocked for my personal supply for a while.
I don't think anyone's gonna think you're crazy.
